WAEC adopts CBT for SSCE

WAEC adopts CBT for SSCE

 The West African Examination Council (WAEC) says it will now
adopt a computer-based test (CBT) in conducting its Senior Secondary
Certificate Examination (SSCE) for private candidates.

 

The council, in a statement on Monday, said the innovation
will begin with its 2024 SSCE to be held next February.

 

WAEC said the objective tests will be fully computer-based
while the essay and test of practical papers will be hybrid.

 

For this, the council said questions will be delivered on
screen and candidates will write answers on paper booklets.

 

 “Furthermore, the
examination will be conducted in urban centres/cities and candidates with
special needs have been factored into the pain,” WAEC added.

 

“Registration for the examination will commence on Monday,
December 18, 2023.

 

“In order to enable candidates to familiarise themselves
with the new examination platform, arrangements have been concluded for a mock
examination to be conducted in February 2024, before the examination commences.

 

 “To this end, the
council implores all prospective candidates to hone their computer skills and
be fully prepared to embrace this innovation.

 

“As Africa’s foremost exam body, providing reliable
educational assessment and encouraging academic and moral excellence, it is the
vision of the council that, in the near future, all its exams will be delivered
via the computer.”
