Computer-Based West African Senior School Certificate Examination

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has announced that the Computer-Based West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for Private candidates is set to kick off on Friday.

In a statement on Tuesday, WAEC explained that objective or multiple-choice questions would be displayed on-screen, and candidates would submit their answers digitally.

The council stated that the examination would conclude on December 20, 2024, and that this second series of exams would use a hybrid format, blending both online and offline elements.

The council added that essay and practical questions would also be displayed on-screen, but candidates would respond using traditional answer booklets.

To assist candidates in preparing, WAEC offered various learning resources, including the WAEC e-Study Platform, past questions and answers books, and the WAECKonnect Platform for candidate interaction.

It said the timetable could be downloaded from the WAEC Nigeria website.

The council wished all candidates success in the examination and reaffirmed its commitment to leveraging technology for accessible services.
