BECE Practice Questions
Practise 139 junior high skills and 942 questions across 13 BECE subjects — instant explanations, SmartScore tracking, free to start.
What the BECE is
The Basic Education Certificate Examination is the exam Ghanaian pupils sit at the end of junior high school. It is written nationally and marked by WAEC Ghana, and the aggregate a candidate earns is what the computerised school selection system uses to place them into senior high school.
Because placement depends on a single aggregate, the BECE rewards steady coverage rather than last-minute cramming. A candidate who is strong in three subjects and weak in three usually lands a worse aggregate than one who is solidly competent across the board.
DigiTransact Mastermind breaks the junior high curriculum into individual skills you can drill one at a time. You see exactly which topics are already secure and which are still costing you marks, months before the paper is in front of you.
Who the BECE serves
Anyone in Basic 7 to Basic 9 building towards the exam, whether you are two years out or two months out.
Candidates re-sitting to improve an aggregate, who need to find and fix specific weak topics rather than start again.
Families who want visible evidence of progress at home instead of guessing whether revision is working.
Teachers setting targeted homework and tracking a whole class skill by skill.

How SmartScore works
Every skill begins on a SmartScore of 0. Nothing is assumed about what you already know, so the score reflects your work and nothing else.
A correct answer pushes the score up; a wrong one pulls it back. Harder questions move the score further, so guessing your way up is not possible.
A worked explanation appears after each question — right or wrong — so the score rises because your understanding rose, not because you memorised an answer key.
A SmartScore of 100 means the skill is mastered. Your dashboard shows which skills are done and which still need work, so revision time goes where it counts.
For BECE revision the useful signal is not how many questions you answered — it is how many skills you have taken all the way to 100. Work through your weakest subject one skill at a time and the aggregate takes care of itself.

Frequently asked questions
How many BECE practice questions are on DigiTransact Mastermind?
There are currently 942 questions across 139 junior-high skills in 13 subjects. That figure is read from the live question bank each time this page loads, so it is never an estimate.
Are the questions real BECE past papers?
No — and we would not claim otherwise. Every question is written by us in the style and difficulty of the exam, mapped to the same curriculum topics. Past-paper practice sets are labelled as BECE-style so you always know what you are answering.
Can I practise for free?
Yes. You can answer a sample session with no account at all, and a free account gives you ongoing practice with SmartScore tracking. Paid plans add wider access, but the free route is a real one, not a trial teaser.
Which subject should I start with?
Start with the core four — English, Mathematics, Integrated Science and Social Studies — because every candidate is graded on all of them. Open one skill, take it to a SmartScore of 100, then move to the next.
