EKO HOT BLOG reports that according to the council, the objective or multiple-choice questions will be presented on-screen, and candidates will submit their responses directly on the screen.

For essay and practical questions, while these will also be displayed on-screen, candidates will provide their answers in the traditional answer booklets provided.

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.

The statement further announced an extension of the registration period for the examination. “The registration period has been extended to Tuesday, October 29, 2024,” WAEC stated.

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.
