Cameroon GCE O-Level Mathematics

It is one of the certificate examinations organised by the General Certificate of Education (GCE) Board, whose mission covers the GCE Ordinary Level alongside the Advanced Level, the TVE Intermediate and Advanced Levels and the Professional Certificate Examination. The Board was created by Decree Nº:93/172 of 1st July 1993 and reorganised by Decree No. 2018/614 of 22 October 2018, as modified by Decree No. 2019/100 of 4 March 2019.

The GCE Ordinary Level unit is one of the units under the Division of Examination. That Division is headed by a Deputy Registrar in charge of Examinations, while the Ordinary Level unit itself is headed by an Examination Officer, who carries defined responsibilities and duties for the examination. Contact the Board directly for any question about your own registration or scripts.

The Mathematics component of this exam is delivered in multiple-choice format. Because every question is objective, there is no partial credit for method, so a correct final answer matters more than elegant working. Practise finishing sets of objective questions accurately within a fixed time, and train yourself to eliminate wrong options quickly rather than re-deriving everything from scratch.

The Board publishes Past Questions and Others, plus GCE and TVEE timetables, through the downloads area of its website, camgceb.org. The site also lists downloadable written-phase and practical-phase timetables. Use these official documents as your primary source for paper structure and scheduling, and treat any third-party material as supplementary practice only.

According to the Board's communique releasing the 2026 results, candidates can verify results at the centres where they registered, results may be read on the radio, and candidates should obtain their result slips from their registration centres. The Board also offers a Confirmation of Results service and a Request for Duplicate Certificate / Result Slip service through its website.

The Board's communique congratulating successful candidates also urged unsuccessful candidates to draw inspiration from their setback and study harder for the 2027 examinations, so resitting is contemplated. For documents, the Board lists services for a duplicate certificate or result slip, confirmation of results, attestation of non-availability of certificate, and correction of data on a certificate or result slip.

In objective Mathematics papers, the usual losses come from misreading the question, working too slowly on one item and leaving later items blank, and careless arithmetic under pressure. Build a habit of reading each question twice, noting exactly what is asked, and skipping stubborn items to return to them. Accuracy on routine topics earns more than heroics on one hard question.

Start with the topics you can secure quickly, usually arithmetic, fractions, percentages, ratio and basic algebra, because they feed into other questions. Then move to geometry, mensuration, statistics and graphs, and finish with the topics you find hardest. Finish each block with timed objective practice, and keep a short error log of every mistake so revision targets real weaknesses.

The Board's website lists its email address as [email protected] and its telephone and fax number as (+237) 233 322 112, with opening hours of Monday to Friday, 8am to 3:30pm. Always confirm details such as deadlines, fees and centre arrangements directly with the Board or your school, since this page is an independent study resource and not an official channel.
