A Junior High School student, who sat for the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), is trending after his video went viral.

Speaking in an interview after writing an exam, the student lamented that the Mathematics paper was difficult.

"The Mathematics paper was too hard. I answered just three questions, and as it was going, I could not answer the rest, so I did my best to answer what I could and just closed the booklet and slept. I tried my best."

When quizzed on his take of the Religious and Moral Education paper, the student with a joyous look stated that the paper went as anticipated, adding that he was expecting to excel in that exam.

He then prayed that the examiners would have mercy on JHS students when marking the paper.

"I pray to God that the examiners would have pity so they make the answers well, so we do not fail and we will get better grades."

Another student, who shared his reservations about the exam, hoped that the examiners would be in a good mood when marking the BECE papers.

This year's examination began on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, and will run until Wednesday, June 18, 2025.

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC), in a statement on the exam, disclosed that a total of 603,328 candidates have registered for this year’s examination.

At the time of writing the exam, the video had raked in over 2,000 likes and 40 comments.
