All your WAEC subjects will also have their theory paper but the questions will be around 5 to 15 with NO OPTIONS.

Performing well here too will boost your scores to help you pass WAEC in one sitting with good grades in that particular subject.

1. Go over the instructions.
Unlike objective papers, WAEC theory questions do not require you to answer all of them.

In reality

Some of the questions in this section are NOT FOR YOU TO ANSWER AT ALL.

Whatever the case may be, the instructions are always provided under each section of your WAEC theory paper.

Make sure to read and follow them exactly.

2. Only respond to questions about your country.

Aside Nigeria, other West African Countries (Ghana, Sierra Leone, Liberia and The Gambia) also participate in WAEC.

And some section(s) in your theory paper might be for only candidates in any of those other countries.

This will be stated in the instructions.

Be sure you only answer questions under the section for your country because other countries’ questions will earn you Zero marks.

3. Don’t forget about the mandatory questions.
Further instructions on how many questions to answer and which ones are mandatory will be provided in the section for your country.

Compulsory questions carry the most weight, so don’t skip them if you want to pass WAEC in one sitting with high marks.

In addition…

Make sure you only answer the required number of questions. Not any less.

Answering more than the required number of questions will not earn you any extra points, and you already know what answering less than the required number of questions will do… or do you not?

4. Choose your questions wisely
In those sections where you’d be required to answer some number of questions, only choose to answer those questions that you AT LEAST know more than half of all its “children”.

And by children, I mean

Question 3.

3 (a)
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(b) (i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
(v)
(c)
Hope you now understand?

But how will this help you pass WAEC in one sitting?

Well…

Aside compulsory questions, all other questions often carry equal marks which are shared among its subquestions or “children”.

So when you choose to answer a question that you know more of its subquestions, you are likely to score the full marks for that particular question.

And the more full marks you score, the closer you get to an A1 (or at least B2) in that subject.

5.Make your writing legible.
WAEC objective papers will have options, but theory papers will not.

As a result, you will be required to write down your exam details as well as all of your answers to the theory questions on an answer booklet that will be provided to you.

Whatever you write must be legible (i.e. easy to see) because your theory papers will be graded by a human being — don’t make your answers difficult for them to see, or else…

“But my handwriting is illegible; how can I improve it?”

Simple. Make it a big deal.

Because, regardless of how bad or ugly your handwriting is, it will become more legible as it grows in size.

Correct answers plus proper writing = FULL MARK.

Each of your WAEC subjects will have an objective paper of approximately 50 questions with options lettered A–D.

And doing well in your subjects’ objective papers will increase your chances of getting an A (or at least a B) in that subject.
1. Respond to all questions
All WAEC objective papers instruct you to “Answer all questions,” so make sure you do so.

Do not ignore the 50 objective questions.

Even if you don’t know the answer, choose any of the options at random because guessing the answer is preferable to leaving it blank.

A guess may be correct by chance, but a blank cannot be.

9. Shade clearly
You’d be given an OMR sheet to shade the appropriate boxes to show your WAEC exam details and your answers to the objective questions.

Be sure that all your shadings are dark enough to be seen without stress.

How will this help you pass WAEC in one sitting?

Well…

What’s worse than choosing a truly correct answer only for the computer to fail it because it thought you didn’t choose any answer?

OMR sheets are often marked by computers that are programmed to recognize only dark shades.

So when you shade faintly, the computer will assume that you didn’t shade any answer for that box.

If this error happened in the exam detail boxes, the result for that subject might be withheld.
And if it happened in the answer boxes, no mark will be awarded for that particular question.
So to prevent such computer error from withholding your result or reducing your total objective score for that WAEC subject, shade clearly.

Use pencils that give darker shades on paper. HB’s are recommended.

1. Begin reading right away.

Regardless of whether you are in SS1, 2, or 3, Start preparing for your WAEC now if you haven’t already.

This is why.

WAEC covers a wide range of topics in each subject, and the fact that you’ll be sitting for (9) WAEC subjects is a compelling reason to begin studying for the exam as soon as possible.

The sooner you begin reading, the more topics you will cover.

And the more topics you cover in each subject, the higher your grade in that subject will be.

2. Read in accordance with the syllabus
It is beneficial to cover more topics in each subject, but it would be even better if you covered more “WAEC recommended” topics for your exam.

This is due to the fact that the WAEC questions for each of your subjects will be drawn from the topics covered in the syllabus for that subject.

As a result, you do not need to read all of the topics from SS1–3.

Instead.

Only read the topics recommended in the WAEC syllabus for your subjects.

Other topics are a waste of time because they will not be discussed.

3. Read with the recommended textbooks
Along with the recommended topics, WAEC also suggest textbooks with good explanations on those topics as well.

Take note.

These textbooks are not compulsory to have but they are recommended.

And you only need to have just one (or two) of the WAEC recommended textbooks for your subjects, and not all of them.

4. Study past questions
For an Exam Council that has been setting questions on the same subjects since 1952 till date…

Don’t you also think that by now they must have run out of new questions to ask?

The truth is that.

Over 70 percent of the next WAEC questions have been asked in previous WAEC.

Which means that for every 50 objective questions, 35 have been asked before. And for every 10 theory or practical questions, 7 are repetitions.

But how can you predict the past questions that will be repeated in WAEC this year?

We found that the most repeated questions in WAEC are often within 10 years interval.

So here’s what you do…

Get WAEC past questions.
Pick five random years from 1988-1998
Another five from 1998-2008
One last five from 2008-2018
Study these 15 different years of WAEC past questions and you’d even begin to see the repeated questions yourself and also understand their pattern.

The more WAEC past questions you study, the more likely you’d see repeated questions in your WAEC.

And the more repeated questions you see in your WAEC, the higher you will score because they will be questions you have practiced before.

5. Make core subjects a priority.
“Core subjects” are those subjects that are required for your class or course.

To “prioritize” something means to make it more important than others.

Prioritizing core subjects entails devoting more time to reading your mandatory subjects.

As an example,

The most important subjects for all WAEC candidates are English and Mathematics.

This means that you must prioritize your reading of English and Mathematics because failing either of them will render your WAEC result useless — regardless of how well you did in other subjects.

6. Don’t bother with Expo.

You will likely get some WAEC expo from your school or teachers but it is not smart to depend totally on it.

Here’s one reason why.

What will you do when an incorruptible invigilator comes on the day of your core subject and refuses to take any bribe?

To be on the safe side, expect expo but prepare like there won’t be any.

Read enough to do AT LEAST 60 percent of that WAEC subject paper on your own — which will get you a B (or at least C) that you can proudly defend.

7. Start with questions you know
Limited time is always allocated to each of your WAEC subject paper.

So you’d need to be fast in answering all the required questions and the best way to do that is to start with the questions you know.

You will surely encounter some tough questions — but what’s the point of wasting time on a question you don’t know when there are many other questions that you know but are yet to be answered?

If you just started the paper (which means that there is still time), skip those tough questions and return to them after you have finished with all the questions that you know.

But remember to return to those tough questions when you are done with others.

Passing WAEC mathematics isn’t as difficult as most students believe.

You must understand the fundamental principles of problem solving.

You can solve questions once you understand the laws of the calculations.

WAEC mathematics is divided into objective (50 question) and theory sections (this is divided into section A and section B).

Your success in WAEC mathematics will begin if you can score at least 35 out of the 50 questions in the objective.

You must ensure that you correctly answer three of the five compulsory questions in Section A of the theory. The same is true for section B.

In the WAEC syllabus (MATHEMATICS), you must master the following topics: algebra, simultaneous equations, probability, statistics, inequality, set, circle geometry, word problem, indices, and so on.

How Can I Obtain WAEC Past Questions?
WAEC practice questions are available online.
They are also available in good bookstores near you.
The school where you registered may offer you previous exam questions.
Check the Google Playstore to see if your school has a WAEC questions app.
What is the WAEC Pass Mark?

In 2022, the WAEC pass mark is:

1. (Excellent)
B2 – (Very Good)
B3: (Good)
C3, C4, C5, and C6 (Credit)
E8 and D7 (Pass)
Is GCE more difficult than WAEC?
Both the GCE and WAEC exams are simple if you prepare well.

However, WAEC necessitates more preparation and critical thinking.

Is E8 a WAEC Pass?
Of course, E8 is a WASSCE pass, but you don’t want it in Mathematics, English language, or any of the other three subjects required for your course of study at any tertiary institution.

Is it too late to start preparing for WAEC?

It is never too late to start preparations for your WAEC.

Some tutors might advise you to start 6 months before the exams, or 3 months before the exam, and so forth.

Well, it is never too late and never too early.

Why Does WAEC Seize Results?
So many candidates will say, “I have not seen my WAEC result yet”.

This happens especially when your result has been withheld.

Malpractice is one thing that can make WAEC withhold your 2022 result.

You need to be careful in your plans to engage in malpractice.

Will WAEC punish students that engage in Examination Malpractice?
Yes, WAEC has severe punishments and penalties for all those that engage in examination malpractice.

They do this to show that they do not support examination malpractice and also, in order to be recognized around the world.

According to WAEC regulations, when a student is caught cheating, the examination will be forfeited.

If gross cheating is detected, the entire center will have its results cancelled.

Can I Gain Admission with WAEC in 2022?
Yes, your admission can be sure this year with your excellent WAEC result.

What Next After WAEC?
The next thing after WAEC is to rest and later start preparing to take NECO (optional) and Post UTME.

So, after passing WAEC, get ready for your choice University Post UTME Screening Exercise after you must have seen your result.

Conclusion
No time is too late to prepare for WAEC.

Passing WAEC examination with excellent grades is not magic.

You must first work hard and smart.
