WAEC Conducts First CBT-Based Mock Exam Tomorrow

The West African Examinations Council, WAEC, has announced the start of its maiden CBT-based mock examination for the 2024 first-series West African Senior Secondary School Examination, WASSCE, for private candidates.

Recall that WAEC last year announced that it is adopting the Computer-Based Test mode for the conduct of the examination.

The examination body stated that it has concluded plans to migrate to the CBT from the paper and pencil test model it was known for.

The Council in a statement signed by the Acting Head, Public Affairs WAEC National Office, Lagos, Moyosola Adesina on Monday, stated that the mock examination slated for January 23 to 24, is open to all prospective candidates.

“WAEC has scheduled a free Mock Examination for all the prospective candidates for the first-ever Computer-Based WASSCE for Private Candidates, 2024- First Series which starts on Wednesday, 31st January 2024.

“The mock examination will be held on the 23rd and 24th of January, 2024. Candidates are expected to log on to the mockcbt.waec.org.ng portal from their mobile phones or personal computers to take the examination,” the statement said.

It noted that the mock examination portal will be accessible all day for the two days, adding that candidates would be allowed to access the mock examination page a second time if the first attempt fails.

“Information containing login details of registered candidates will be sent to their respective email addresses and phone numbers as soon as registration closes.

“Also, a link to the tutorial video on how to use the examination portal will be made available on all our social media platforms.

“WAEC wishes all candidates for the examination success and a wonderful experience,” the statement said.
