When calculating your BECE aggregate, you only use your best six subjects. These subjects must include:

1. English Language

2. Mathematics

4.Social Studies (whichever is better)

5. With two best electives (I.e RME, ICT Creative arts, career technology and you area Ghanaian language)

These are the six subjects you’ll use for the final calculation.

Step 3: Add Up Your Grades

 Simple Addition

After identifying your best six subjects, write down the grades for each subject. Add them together to get your aggregate score. 

For example, if your grades for the six subjects are:

The total is 2 + 1 + 3 + 2 + 4 + 2 = 14.

The lower your aggregate score, the better your chances of getting into a top Senior High School. Most top schools prefer students with aggregates between 6 and 15.
