Universities across the country and the world as a whole, base admission on the grades you got from your Secondary school external examination.
Therefore, the simplest route to finding the best programme of study and the top universities in the world with your WASSCE grade, is to first tabulate / calculate your accrued aggregate score.
This post will take you through;
- how to calculate your WASSCE aggregate.
