40.90 percent, this is the general rate of success for the Probatoire examination of the 2022 Session made public by the Baccalaureate Office of Cameroon on Friday August 5 2022. An 8 percent drop as compared to the 48.72 percent of last year.
As it is of custom, the publication of such an official exam results creates a mixture of feelings amongst the candidates. On the one hand, we have the fortunate, those whose have passed to Terminal, clearly expressed their joy despite the stress of patience.
Some were sure of their success like it is the case with Ebassa Hortense, Student in College Bilingue La Providence in Obala “Although I was sure of myself, when I dialled my matricule, I first put my phone down and went for a walk. When I came back, I saw my results and at the bottom of the message I saw admitted I was very happy with these results and proud to go to the next class.”
Others on the other hand were doubting whether they will pass or not like Atangana Audrey, a Premiere D student from College Polyvalent de Bepanda in Douala “As far I am concerned, I didn’t expect to pass by I really worked bad in Physics and in mathematics. I was very stressed when I dialled my matricule especially as it took a lot of time before coming and when it finally came and I realized that I have passed, I almost touched the sky”.
Since the exam never smiles to all the candidates, some unfortunate ones though haven failed, say they gave in all their efforts for a better result as it is the case with Nkolo E., student in Lycée General Obala “I really studied hard all through this academic year and made a lot of sacrifices to pass this exam but I didn’t make at the end, but I won’t give up because I am sure next year will be the good one”.
However, this drop in the results can be justified by the little tensions created by the OTS movement as well as the half break made during the African Cup of Nations.
