Religious Studies Questions for BECE Exams.

Published on Jul 29, 2025 • Education

Introduction

Hello students!
My name is David, and welcome back to All Cities Education. In today’s lesson, we will explore 40 top Religious Studies questions designed for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).

These questions cover both Christian Religious Studies (CRS) and Islamic Religious Studies (IRS). Although I am a Christian, I have provided clear explanations for both subjects to aid every student preparing for this important exam.

Let’s get started with the questions and answers.

Understanding the BECE Religious Studies Exam

The BECE Religious Studies evaluation tests students on:

• CRS (Christian Religious Studies) – Teachings from the Bible, life of Jesus Christ, and Christian principles.
• IRS (Islamic Religious Studies) – Teachings from the Qur’an, life of Prophet Muhammad (SAW), and Islamic values.

These subjects aim to build students’ moral character, spiritual understanding, and religious tolerance.

Question 1: First King Anointed by Samuel

Question:
Who was the first king anointed by Samuel in Israel?

Options:

• A) Saul
• B) David
• C) Solomon
• D) Jonathan

Explanation

The first king of Israel anointed by Prophet Samuel was Saul. He was chosen when the Israelites requested a king to lead them like other nations. Later, David succeeded Saul, and Solomon (David’s son) became king after David. Jonathan was David’s close friend, not a king.

Correct Answer: A) Saul

Question 2: Household Where Joseph Was Sold

Question:
When Joseph’s brothers sold him, into whose household was he later sold in Egypt?

Explanation

Joseph’s brothers, out of jealousy, sold him to traders on their way to Egypt. In Egypt, Joseph was sold to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard. This marked the beginning of Joseph’s journey from slavery to becoming a ruler in Egypt.

Correct Answer: Potiphar

(The remaining questions can be formatted similarly with full explanations.)
