Computer-based WASSCE starts Friday, WAEC says
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has announced that it will begin the Computer-Based West African Senior School Certificate Examination (CBWASSCE) for private candidates on October 25, 2024.
The examination is scheduled to conclude on December 20, 2024, according to a statement released on Tuesday, October 22.
“The examination will adopt the hybrid mode of delivering the examination, which implies that the objective or multiple-choice questions would be rendered onscreen and candidates would be required to give their responses on the screen, while the essay and practical questions will be rendered on-screen, likewise, but candidates would have to give their responses using the answer booklets provided,” a WAEC spokesperson, Adesina Fadekemi, said.
Additionally, candidates have the option to opt for the traditional Paper and Pen mode for the entire examination.
WAEC has extended the registration period for all prospective candidates to Tuesday, October 29, 2024.
“Similarly, the ‘Walk-in-Candidate’ opportunity (for candidates who register 24 hours before the particular paper of their choice is due to be taken) will be open at the end of the registration,” the body said.
