GCE Exam Levels and Eligibility

GCE means General Certificate Examination. This examination has worldwide acceptance and can be used to enter any university worldwide.

GCE exams usually take place between May and June each year in Cameroon. Generally, in Cameroon, General Certificate Examinations are handled by two significant sets of people.

The first set of candidates has completed five years of preparation after living in primary school, referred to as Ordinary Level students sitting for the O Level certificate. 

The second set of candidates has completed two years of studies after obtaining the Ordinary Level certificate and are sitting for Advance Level exams to receive the A-Level Certificate.

Overview of GCE Board

The Cameroon General Certificate of Education Board, known as Cameroon GCE Board, is the public examination board responsible for setting examinations, marking them, and distributing results for Anglo-Saxon Cameroonian secondary school students at two stages: 

• Stage 1: The GCE Ordinary Level (“O Level”), a subject-based qualification conferred as part of the General Certificate of Education, for students having completed a 5-year secondary education program, with students qualifying to sit the GCE O’ Level examinations. 
• Stage 2: The GCE Advanced Level (“A Level”), another subject-based qualification conferred as part of the General Certificate of Education, as well as a school leaving qualification offered by the educational bodies and authorities to students completing secondary or pre-university education, for students having completed a 2-year High School education program, and who have previously sat and been successful in at least 4 GCE O’ Level subjects. GCE A Level examinations are written by upper-sixth students.

The General Certificate of Education is a pure UK education system adopted by Anglo-Saxon Cameroon.

In the 2015/16 academy year, about 182,416 candidates sat for both the GCE examinations in Cameroon, with over 138,000 candidates for the O’ Level and 46,000 for the A Level examinations.

Brief History

The Cameroon GCE board was officially created in 1993, according to a book titled “The Cameroon GCE Crisis: A Test of Anglophone Solidarity.” 

The book says the creation of the board was spearheaded by Anglophone community groups, such as the Teachers’ Association of Cameroon (TAC), led by Mr. Peter Chateh; churches; Confederation of Anglophone Parents’ Teachers’ Association of Cameroon (CAPTAC), with other trade union groups, also playing a pivot role in the creation of the board.

It took 10 years, from 1983 to October 1993, for a consensus to be reached by the groups mentioned above and the Government of Cameroon to create an examination board to award certificates to Anglophone Cameroonian students.

Before the Cameroon GCE board existed in 1993, the General Certificate of Education in the UK awarded certificates to Anglophone Cameroonian students. It was a Trust Territory under British administration (British Cameroons) from 1922 to 1961.

Prepare For GCE Exams

Trust me when I say GCE O-Levels and A-Levels are simple to ace. I got straight As for O-Levels, which was not much of a challenge.

What you have to do to succeed in your GCE Exam is as follows:

1. Study 2 to 3 subjects a day. Content is a breeze. I bet you will remember stuff better.
2. Have a timetable and stick to it.
3. Never study on your bed or anywhere near it.
4. Listen to classical music once in a while. Just make sure there are no lyrics whatsoever.
5. Use diagrams to help me understand better.
6. When you are trying to memorize, read through once, read and take notes by hand the following time, and lastly, close your book and try to write what you just learned.
7. Another great way to score is to memorize answering techniques.
8. Only refer to the answer sheet once you’ve completed the entire paper.
9. Just before the exam, read through the notes once.

Conclusion

When GCE results are released in Cameroon, it is another showdown of students’ performances at both the Ordinary and Advanced levels.

The Release of Cameroon GCE Exam results is one of the most awakening moment in the country, as it brings to light the reality of the effort put in place by students and enable them to see if their hard work was rewarded or if it was not good enough in the course of their preparation.

Congratulations to the students who scored PASS results. For those who did not make it, please prepare well for the General Certificate of Education Board exam and double your effort to obtain better scores in the forthcoming GCE Exams 2026.
