WAEC GCE Computer-Based Exams
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) General Certificate Examination (GCE) for 2024 is set to undergo a significant transformation, with a primary emphasis on Computer Based Testing (CBT). This innovative approach will be primarily utilized for Objective papers, where candidates will be required to answer all questions entirely through the CBT format. On the other hand, the examination is adopting a hybrid approach for the essay and practical tests. In these sections, while the questions will be presented on computer screens, candidates will record their answers on paper. This blended method aims to streamline the testing process while maintaining the rigour and integrity of the examination.
