How to Calculate Your BECE Aggregate

Calculating your BECE aggregate is crucial for SHS placement. Here's how:

Step 1: Understand the Grading System

The BECE uses a 1-9 scale where:

• Grade 1 is the best (Raw score: 90-100%)
• Grade 9 is the weakest (Raw score: 0-9%)

Pro Tip: Always aim for grades 1-6 in your core subjects for Category A schools.

Step 2: Add Your Best Six Subjects

Your aggregate is the sum of your best six subjects including:

1. English Language
2. Mathematics
3. Integrated Science
4. Social Studies
5. Two best electives

For example, if your grades are: English: 2, Math: 3, Science: 2, Social: 3, ICT: 1, French: 2

Your aggregate would be: 2 + 3 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 2 = 13
