This online media platform understands that the examination body disclosed this in a statement released by the acting head of the Public Affairs Unit of WAEC, Moyosola Adesina.

The statement reads, “In line with global best practices, the Nigeria National Office of the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) wishes to inform the general public and all its stakeholders that it has concluded plans to migrate its WASSCE for Private Candidates Examination Diets from Paper and Pencil Test to Computer Based Examination (CBE).

“The innovation will commence with WASSCE for Private Candidates, 2024 – First Series, which is slated to be held in February 2024. While the Objective Tests will be fully Computer Based, the Essay and Test of Practical papers will be hybrid, in which the examination questions will be delivered on screen, and candidates will be required to write answers on the answer booklets given to them.

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

“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.
