West African Examination Council, WAEC, says arrangements have been made for the conduct of its 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination, WASSCE, for private candidates using the Computer Based Test, CBT, platform.
In a statement on Monday, in Lagos, the Council’s Acting Head of Public Affairs, Mrs Moyosola Adesina on Monday, in Lagos said the innovation will begin with the 2024 First Series of the West African Senior School Certificate Examination, WASSCE, for private candidates, slated for February.
She said while the objective tests will be fully computer-based, 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.
Adesina further stated that to enable candidates to familiarise themselves with the new examination platform, arrangements had also been concluded for a mock examination to be conducted in February 2024, ahead of the main examination.
She advised all prospective candidates to hone their computer skills and be fully prepared to embrace this innovation as it is part of the Council’s vision shortly to have all of its examinations delivered via the computer.
