Buttressing her point, the final-year WASSCE candidate, known on TikTok as @esiawortwe1, explained that this year’s examination is very tough.
In a video that has since gone viral, the girl, who looked concerned, cited an example from the Biology paper where she expressed frustration over the difficulty of the exam.

"After writing the Biology paper, some students were crying. We are praying that the other papers are easier, do we have an issue with the President" she cried out in the video.
