What wassce-style objectives — set a means

You practise exam-style English questions that test meaning, opposite meaning, grammar and correct sentence use. This helps you respond quickly and accurately in school tests and in WASSCE preparation.

What you will practise

  • Choose words nearest in meaning from short exam items
  • Pick the opposite meaning of a given word
  • Complete sentences with the correct structure
  • Recognise fixed pairings like scarcely ... when
  • Apply basic lexis and usage under time pressure

Before you start

You should already know common vocabulary, simple antonyms, and basic sentence structure. It also helps to read short sentences carefully before answering.

Worked example

One question from this skill's own question bank, shown with its full working.

Question

Choose the option nearest in meaning: "The witness gave a CANDID account."

  • biased
  • frank
  • lengthy
  • confusing
Answer: frank

Working: "Candid" means honest and straightforward.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Choosing a word that only looks similar, not one with the same meaning
  • Missing the opposite meaning and selecting another near synonym
  • Forgetting fixed grammar pairings such as scarcely ... when
  • Answering too quickly without reading the full sentence context
