SUMMARY:WAEC (CB-WASSCE) 2026 – 1st Series for Private Candidates Completion
DESCRIPTION:Exam period: Wednesday 28 Jan – Saturday 14 Feb 2026 — this series is ongoing or just completed as of early February.    WAEC CB-WASSCE 2026 (Private Candidates\, First Series)    The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) administers the Common-Based West African Senior School Certificate Examination (CB-WASSCE). In 2026\, WAEC is holding a “First Series” specifically for private candidates — this is basically a January/February exam cycle outside the regular school session\, intended for those seeking certification\, grade improvement\, or first-time entry.    📆 Official Exam Dates    📅 Start: Wednesday\, 28 January 2026    📅 End: Saturday\, 14 February 2026    This full exam window runs for about 18 days\, with different subjects scheduled on specific dates.    🧠 Why It’s Important    This First Series is vital for students who are:    Private candidates (not enrolled full-time in a secondary school)    Repeaters wanting to improve WAEC results    Adults returning to complete their SSCE qualification    Tertiary admission seekers needing WAEC results for university/college entry    Unlike the larger May/June series (usually for school candidates)\, this January/February series lets candidates sit examinations earlier in the year.    🖥 Format of the Exam    Computer-Based Testing (CBT): This series is conducted fully via CBT — meaning multiple-choice questions and some objective components are answered online at designated CBT centres.    Hybrid Papers: Subjects requiring essay answers or practical work may involve a written component or alternative to practical questions where you answer theory-based versions of practical tasks.    📌 Sample Timetable Highlights    Here’s what the early part of the schedule looks like (note: times and durations are as per the official WAEC timetable):    📅 28 January 2026 — Wednesday    Hausa (Essay & Objective)    Igbo (Essay & Objective)    Yoruba (Essay & Objective)  Candidates sit the paper only for the language(s) they registered for.    📅 29 January 2026 — Thursday    Biology (Essay\, Objective & Alternative to Practical)    📅 30 January 2026 — Friday    Financial Accounting (Theory & Objective)    📅 31 January 2026 — Saturday    General Mathematics / Mathematics (Core) (Essay & Objective)    📅 3 February 2026 — Tuesday    Agricultural Science (Essay\, Objective & Alternative to Practical)    📅 4 February 2026 — Wednesday    Christian Religious Studies    Islamic Studies    📅 5 February 2026 — Thursday    Physics (Essay\, Objective & Alternative to Practical)    📅 6 February 2026 — Friday    Geography (Essay\, Objective & Physical geography/practical)    📅 7 February 2026 — Saturday    English Language (Essay\, Objective & Oral test)    (The full timetable continues through Chemistry\, Literature-in-English\, Further Mathematics\, Economics\, Government\, Commerce\, and Civic Education — all concluding by 14 February.)    📍 Key Candidate Requirements  📌 Registration    Registration for the First Series typically closed by late January 2026\, with the timetable published and circulated before exams began.    📍 Practical / Oral Components    Practical Subjects: Some sciences and vocational subjects have “Alternative to Practical Work” papers — this means that instead of doing hands-on lab work\, candidates answer theory-based questions about practical processes.    English Oral: For English Language\, there may be an oral/test of orals element scheduled separately on the exam day.    📍 Important Tips for Candidates    ✔ Make sure you double-check your personal timetable — WAEC provides a personalized timetable to each candidate showing exact dates\, paper codes\, and times.  ✔ Arrive early at the CBT centre — at least 30 minutes before the start time.  ✔ Bring your WAEC exam slip and valid ID.  ✔ Follow all rules strictly — WAEC enforces a zero-tolerance policy on malpractice.    🧠 Summary    Exam window: 28 Jan → 14 Feb 2026    Format: Computer-Based Test (CBT) with hybrid elements    Purpose: Gives private candidates a chance to sit WAEC outside the main May/June series    Key subjects: Language\, sciences\, maths\, socials\, arts\, practicals & orals View event: https://allcbts.com/events/waec-cb-wassce-2026-1st-series-for-private-candidates-completion
