Questions Bank Ghana Website, an online education promotion organisation, has launched the West African Examination Council (WAEC) Questions Bank Interactive online portal for candidates of both the West Africa Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) and Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).
The
questions bank is an online education resource platform for students in the
junior and senior high schools, particularly BECE and WASSCE students preparing
to sit for their final year examination.
Addressing
the media at the launch, the Director of Questions Bank Ghana Website, Dinah
Oppong, noted that the website also allowed students to take a test within a
time frame, and receive scores immediately after answering the questions to the
test while the marking scheme of the answers are provided afterward.
Opportunity
This,
she explained, would provide the students the opportunity to try their hands on
past questions from 2015 to 2022, build their confidence and be abreast of the
requirement of the examination in the comfort of their homes or schools.
She
explained that the website provided services that allowed parents, schools,
teachers and students to enjoy web database resources that ensured real life
feed and interaction between the users and the website.
“The website
allows users to have access to BECE and WASSCE past questions online. It also
allows users to have access to examiners reviews and remarks of what
expectations are required from candidates when sitting for their final
examination”, Ms Oppong added.
She
said the websites had blogs, pictures and text resources that allowed
candidates and students to have access to learning materials to help them
adequately prepare for their final year examination.
Interface
The website interface requires one to register in order to have access to the
past questions for a fee of GH¢20 for individuals and a discount for groups and
schools wishing to register on behalf of their students.
In
order to navigate the question bank website, users are required to enter their
individual details that capture their names, email address, schools and a token
in order to sign up.
Dashboard
The user’s
dashboard is divided into three categories, firstly, take a test now module
which helps users to take part in live exams papers and evaluations).
The
second is the examiner's paper review which allows users to see all examiners’
paper review, and lastly questions and possible answers that allow users to see
all questions and answers for past exam sessions.
Ms
Oppong noted that the advancement of online applications had made life easier
and convenient, indicating that in the past reading and learning could only
take place in the library and classroom and through the use of hard copy
learning materials.
“Today,
these things have migrated online, making learning even more fun for students
and teachers. It is this same philosophy that underpinned and gave birth to the
launched questions bank website,” she added.
