WAEC also mentioned that candidates would have the option to complete the entire examination using the Paper and Pen mode, should they prefer this method for all subjects.

Additionally, the council provided a “Walk-in-Candidate” option for those who may not register within the regular window.
This allows candidates to register 24 hours before the specific paper they wish to take.
