This has been what every secondary school student is waiting for the announcement of the WAEC Examination Date. Students have been un-hold waiting to write their senior secondary school examination which is (WAEC).
But due to the world outbreak of the deadly virus (COVID-19) also known as coronavirus which affects the whole world at large. Students have never had the chance to go for their exams before the shutdown of schools. Today marks a great day for those of us that are planning to apply for WAEC.
Just some days back, the announcement was made that WAEC will begin from August 2020 and will last till the month of September. In other to get more information, you have to keep on reading through this article and you will find out more details in it.
WAEC Examination Date
There are so many reviews on this same article WAEC examination date which you are going through right now. The month and the date where stated but due to some other review, the starting date is different from one another.
Since the date is not yet specified, we the Nigerians are hoping that the exam will surely start in August. Before then, if there be any information about the specific date, we will surely inform you of it. But for now, the date is not yet known but have in mind that the WAEC examination will begin as of August.
WAEC Examination Registration Date
The update at hand about WAEC examination date stays that students that have not registered but hoping of writing the WAEC exam.
That the registration has started and the date is June 10th and will be ending by July 31st, 2020 this year. My advice for those of us that have not yet registered for the examination or if you are a parent that has not registered his or her child for the exam.
Should do that before the registration date will be over to avoid late registration. Before now, I had articles on WAEC before the shut-down of schools, if there is any need to get more information about the late information on this site here they are.
You can read through this article “How WAEC Tracked Exams Malpractice” and also “When is WAEC 2020/2021 Exam Starting”.
WAEC Examination Preparation
Right now, that the announcement of starting WAEC examination date has been made, I think it is time for us to get prepared. As a student who is looking toward writing the WAEC exam, he or she needs to be ready because WAEC does track examination malpractice.
So, if we are having the mind that there must be a way to pass the exam. I’m afraid there may be no room for examination malpractice and if you were caught am afraid that may be the end of your exam for that day. To get ready for the exam, my advice for you all that are sitting for the exam is to;
- You have to pay attention to your studies and also be serious with your books.
- Set a reading timetable for yourself and make use of WAEC past questions and answers for you to build up your ability.
- Reading your books along with the WAEC examination syllabus.
- Have confidence in yourself by believing in yourself that you will make your papers.
- While reading, make use of your pen and paper in other to jolt down some important key points.
- Make sure you go through all the examination rules before going for the exam.
- Set questions and answer for yourself to test your ability.
- Also, pick a reading partner that will study with you before the exam.
By doing all of these things, I assure you that there is nothing that will make you not to pass your exams. You can as well visit the WAEC official website for more information by entering www.waecnigeria.org using your computer or mobile smartphone web browser like Chrome.
