A Junior High School student, who sat for the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), has left many emotional after she gave her assessment of the exam.

In a video sighted by YEN.com.gh on the TikTok page of @newsnthrills, the young girl, who was interviewed after the Integrated Science exam, admitted that the paper was difficult.

When asked by the interviewer if she had high hopes of excelling in the Integrated Science exams, the JHS graduate, who looked sad, simply responded negatively.

She lamented that the mock exam was relatively easier compared to the BECE exams.

"I grade myself that I would not pass the exams," she said with a sad look.

She expressed hope that she would be able to gain admission to her dream school, Kalpohin Senior High School (KALISCO) in Tamale.

The 2025 BECE examination began on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, and will run until Wednesday, June 18, 2025.

At the time of writing the exam, the video had raked in over 11,000 likes and 1,000 comments.
