OlearnaWhat BECE Computing actually tests
This page is for a BECE student in Ghana, and for the parent sitting nearby. It answers one job: what the paper asks for in Computing. The next step is a free check of this subject, then an account if you want the result kept.
Older pamphlets still say ICT. The current JHS subject is Computing: the machine, the programs people use, and a first look at instructions a computer can follow.
What should you open in Computing?
Stay inside these topics. They are the ones listed for BECE Computing on the subject page. A different book's chapter titles can wait.
- Computer Basics. Computer Basics is one block of the paper. Applications is a different block. Do not revise them in the same half hour.
- Applications. Applications is one block of the paper. Programming is a different block. Do not revise them in the same half hour.
- Programming. Programming is one block of the paper. Computer Basics is a different block. Do not revise them in the same half hour.
What does a short week look like?
- Evening 1: Computer Basics. Twenty to thirty minutes, then stop.
- Evening 2: Applications. Twenty to thirty minutes, then stop.
- Evening 3: Programming. Twenty to thirty minutes, then stop.
After one of those evenings, take the free Computing diagnostic. You will see On Track, Improving, or At Risk. That label is for you. It is not a BECE grade.
Where do you go next?
The subject page is Computing for BECE. If you want the class and the subjects saved, create a free account. You can read this page first. The account is one screen: name, email or phone, and a password.
