In-line with global best practices, the Nigeria National Office of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) wishes to inform the general public, that it has concluded plans to upgrade its WASSCE for Private Candidates Examination from Paper & Pen to Computer Based Test (CBT).
The new WAEC CBT innovation will commence with 2024 WASSCE for Private Candidates – First Series, which will hold in February 2024. Objective Tests will be fully Computer Based while the Essay and Test of Practical papers will be hybrid, in which the examination questions will be delivered on screen and candidates required to write answers on the answer booklets given to them.
However, the examination will be conducted in urban areas and candidates with special needs have been factored into the plan. In order to enable candidates to familiarise themselves with the new platform, arrangements have been concluded for a Mock Examination to be conducted in February 2024, before the examination commences.
Registration for the examination will commence on Monday, December 18, 2023. Contact Osilight for more information regarding registration of new candidates.
