Your school selections won't matter if you choose the wrong programmes. The programmes you choose only use your results as cutoff points. With the new way SHS programmes are structured, the goal isn't just passing WASSCE any longer. It is about giving you the right foundations to guide your vocation eventually.
This tool is going to help you uncover the strengths inside of you and attempt matching them to existing skills in different vocations so you can make a program choice that matches your personal strengths. Which is an advantage for motivation when things get rough.
Have you ever heard someone say about an older relative, "eii, this one hasn't changed at all since JHS"? Think about that for a second. Their body has definitely changed, their face, their height, everything you can see. So what actually didn't change? That's the real question. What stayed the same is the person underneath, how they think, how they treat people, who they actually are. That's the self, and it isn't your results, your looks, or your reputation.
Inside that self, you carry two kinds of strength. Skill strengths are things you do well, like drawing, organising, fixing, explaining. Character strengths are things about how you are, like your patience, your fairness, your curiosity, your courage. Both are real evidence about you, and both matter for choosing a course that actually fits.
We're going to help you uncover both, one at a time.
Answer these as honestly as you can. If you get stuck, tap the box and we'll show you some examples to jog your memory.
What's something you're good at, that you've noticed other people around you visibly struggle with?

This next part is 24 short statements. For each one, ask yourself honestly, has this actually happened to me, a real moment I can picture? If yes, mark it. If nothing comes to mind, leave it blank.
Tap the ones you can picture a real moment for. Leave the rest blank — a blank isn't a failure.
We're matching your answers to real Ghanaian SHS programmes, based on patterns from students like you. It's not perfect — sometimes what you meant doesn't come through exactly right, or a match might feel a little off.
If that happens, don't worry about it. Reach out to us directly and we'll go through it with you, one on one.
This is the end of this part of the journey. Here's what your own answers showed us.
You can now use this to guide your school selection. Once you know which programmes you actually want, it becomes much easier to know which schools to look at.
