The West African Examinations Council, WAEC, Nigeria, has announced the final extension of the registration deadline for the Computer-Based West African Senior School Certificate Examination, CB-WASSCE for Private Candidates, 2024 Second Series.
The exam, which will run from Friday, October 25, to Friday, December 20, 2024, will be delivered in a hybrid mode.
In a statement signed by the Acting Head of the Public Affairs Department, Adesina Moyosola Fadekemi, WAEC noted that under this hybrid format, multiple-choice questions will be displayed on the screen, and candidates will be required to input their answers directly into the system.
Adesina also noted that for essay and practical questions, candidates will also see the questions on screen but will provide responses using physical answer booklets. However, candidates who prefer the traditional pen-and-paper format for the entire exam will have that option as well.
In light of this, WAEC has extended the registration period until Tuesday, October 29, 2024. Additionally, the “Walk-in-Candidate” option will be available after the regular registration period. This allows candidates to register 24 hours before their chosen paper is scheduled.
The statement added that the examination timetable is available on the WAEC Nigeria website (https://www.waecnigeria.org), and candidates are encouraged to make use of WAEC’s learning resources, including the WAEC e-Study platform and past question books.
