No two candidates will have same questions on each number
No two candidates will have same questions on each number – WAEC : The Head of National Office, WAEC Nigeria, Dr Amos Dangut, said the new format will apply to some subject codes in the 2025 examination. From this year, two candidates will not have the same queries on each number. We have adopted this innovation for some of the WASSCE codes,” he stated.
He issued a stern warning to candidates who may attempt to answer papers not designated to them. Any candidate who chooses to write a paper other than the one assigned to him or her will be doing himself/herself a disservice and will endure the attendant consequences,” Dangut added.
According to the council, the May/June 2025 WASSCE will take place from April 24 to June 20, 2025.
Computer-Based WASSCE introduced
In addition to the question variation, WAEC has also launched its maiden Computer-Based WASSCE (CB-WASSCE) for school candidates, which will be optional for now. According to Dangut, question sets for the CB-WASSCE will be preprinted based on individual registration details.
The adoption of these current test administration techniques is geared towards upholding the academic and moral integrity of the National Policy on Education and in accordance with the vision of the Federal Ministry of Education.
Strict sanctions for exam malpractice
Dr Dangut restated WAEC’s zero-tolerance stance on examination malpractice. He warned school authorities, supervisors, and candidates to rigorously adhere to the examination guidelines. Erring schools whose candidates engage in mass deception will be derecognised; erring officials will be adequately punished, while erring candidates will be sanctioned if found culpable.
WAEC Syllabus and Guidelines
Every candidate and examination functionary should familiarise themselves with the rules guiding the conduct of the examination as stipulated in the WAEC Syllabus and Guidelines for the conduct of examinations, issued to institutions. He further assured the public that WAEC would continue to work closely with the Nigeria Police Force and state administrations to ensure safe and malpractice-free exams.
The Council remains grateful to state governments for their partnership and collaborative efforts throughout the conduct of WASSCE and in the Council’s ongoing war against the menace of Examination Malpractice.
