Why This Exam Is Unique
For the first time in history, WAEC will conduct the GCE 2nd Series with Computer-Based Testing (CBT).
- Objective papers will run fully on CBT.
- Essay and practical papers will follow a hybrid format. Questions will appear on the screen, but candidates will write answers on paper.
Therefore, candidates should not treat this exam like previous editions. Instead, they must get used to the CBT format before the exam begins.
How to Prepare for WAEC CBT
Transitioning from paper-based tests to CBT may feel overwhelming, but practice makes it easier. That is why WAEC strongly advises candidates to practice with WAEC CBT preparation tools.
- The Myschool WAEC CBT Mobile App and Myschool WAEC CBT Software allow candidates to practice both objective and theory questions.
- These platforms also help candidates improve speed, accuracy, and confidence in a digital test environment.
- Schools, tutorial centres, and resellers can distribute the software to train students effectively.
Benefits of Practicing with WAEC CBT Tools
When candidates practice in advance, they:
- Cover hundreds of WAEC past questions with step-by-step solutions.
- Learn how to navigate the CBT interface.
- Build confidence by simulating the real exam environment.
- Reduce mistakes caused by panic or unfamiliarity.
Consequently, practicing with CBT tools is no longer optional—it is essential.
