This sheet presents the official Life and Earth Sciences (SVT) and Education in Environment, Hygiene and Biotechnology (EEHB) examination from the BEPC 2024 session in Cameroon, accompanied by its complete answer key. As the most recent exam paper available, this examination is an essential preparation tool for future candidates.
Part A begins with knowledge assessment through MCQs covering four distinct topics: eco-friendly actions and environmental protection (identifying what is not an eco-gesture), chromosome structure and the role of the centromere, the cell-mediated immune response carried out by T lymphocytes, and chromosomal abnormalities such as Klinefelter syndrome (47 chromosomes). The Open Response Questions require defining the terms detrital rock and seropositive, as well as citing causes of cerebrovascular accidents (CVA/stroke).
The practical skills and attitudes section includes two major exercises. The first focuses on identifying chromosomal abnormalities from karyotypes: students must analyze an abnormal karyotype, locate the abnormality, name it, and determine the sex of the individual concerned. The second exercise is an awareness activity about biodiversity loss, requiring the drafting of a slogan and the creation of a poster highlighting destructive actions against forests.
Part B assesses competencies through the case of Pierre, a 15-year-old motorcycle accident victim with a significant wound. The doctor explains the risks of contracting tetanus through wound contamination. Students must mobilize their knowledge of microbial infection, modes of contamination, and preventive measures to resolve this problem situation.
This examination covers the fields of ecology (eco-gestures, biodiversity), genetics (chromosomes, karyotypes, abnormalities), immunology (cell-mediated response, T lymphocytes), and public health (CVA, tetanus, microbial infection). The complete answer key provided helps students perfect their methodology and fill knowledge gaps. This sheet is highly recommended as a final practice run before the examination, faithfully reflecting the current level of BEPC requirements in SVT/EEHB.
