Master ICT & Computing
Practice 24 skills with 169 questions — instant feedback, SmartScore tracking, and GES Computing & WASSCE ICT aligned
About Computing on DigiTransact Mastermind
Computing is now examined at BECE, and ICT is a fast-growing WASSCE elective — while digital literacy has become as fundamental as reading. Practising these skills prepares you for exams and for life.
Each of the 24 Computing skills carries its own SmartScore from 0 to 100, so progress is measured per topic rather than as one overall grade.
All 169 Computing questions come with the written reasoning behind the answer, so a wrong attempt still teaches the method.
Computing work is filed under Kindergarten, Lower Primary, Upper Primary, Junior High, Senior High, University, so you only see sets that match the stage you are studying.

How It Works
Browse skills organised by category and level — from KG to University — and choose exactly what you want to practise.
Work through curriculum-aligned questions at your own pace. Every question is written to match how it is examined.
See immediately whether you were right, with a clear explanation after every answer so mistakes become learning moments.
Each skill is scored 0–100. Reach 100 to master the skill, earn badges, and climb the leaderboard.
Why Practice ICT & Computing
Skills run from mouse-and-keyboard basics for young learners to algorithms, binary and data structures for SHS and university students, so everyone practises at the right depth.
Instant feedback cements technical concepts — how networks route data, how algorithms sort — that pure reading rarely makes stick.

Frequently asked questions
Does this cover the new GES Computing curriculum?
Yes. Skills follow the GES Computing curriculum for primary and JHS — including computational thinking, programming basics and digital literacy — plus WASSCE ICT topics for SHS.
Can beginners with no computer experience start here?
Yes. Lower Primary skills start from computer basics and safe internet use, then build gradually towards programming and data representation.
Is programming included?
Yes — programming fundamentals, algorithms and logic are dedicated skills, with university-level content extending into data structures and algorithms.
Will this help with WASSCE Elective ICT?
Yes. SHS-level skills cover the hardware, software, networking, spreadsheets and database topics examined in WASSCE Elective ICT.
