The 2025 BECE ended on Wednesday, June 18, with its final paper, Arabic studies. The students came out in numbers with excitement as soon as the paper was concluded.

During an engagement with media outlet, PulseGhana, the students expressed their excitement as they narrated their experience with the conclusion of the BECE exam.

In the video making waves on social media, a candidate was asked how his exam went and how he felt after it had concluded. The young man was so overwhelmed that he spoke words that didn't quite fit together.

"I don't just know what to say. I am exaggerated," he said.

He later corrected himself, saying that he was excited about it and was told by the interviewer to calm down and collect his words.

He was happy to be done with basic school and looked forward to focusing on the remaining three years to complete Senior High School.

Other students were also interviewed. Many voiced their struggles with subjects that were a bit difficult for them.

Many pointed out that their difficult subjects were Mathematics and Science, while a few claimed it was the French language.

The next activity for the students, after the exam, was to have fun and go back to their normal sleeping schedule for a while.

One of the students also pointed out his excitement that his father would no longer wake him early in the morning for school.
