The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has disclosed that its Computer-Based West African Senior School Certificate Examination (CBWASSCE) will commence on Friday, October 25 and is expected to last till Friday, December 20, 2024.
According to a WAEC spokesman,
โThe examination will adopt the hybrid mode of delivering the examination, which implies that the objective or multiple-choice questions would be rendered onscreen and candidates would be required to give their responses on the screen, while the essay and practical questions will be rendered on-screen, likewise, but candidates would have to give their responses using the answer booklets providedโ.
WAEC earlier announced that candidates for the November 2024 WASSCE will have the option of choosing between Computer-Based Tests (CBT) and Paper-Based Tests.
According to WAEC, the objective test will be fully computer-based, while the essay and test of practical papers will be hybrid (that is, a combination of paper-based and CBT models).
The Council informed all intending candidates that the registration period has been extended to Tuesday, October 29, 2024.
โSimilarly, the โWalk-in-Candidateโ opportunity (for candidates who register 24 hours before the particular paper of their choice is due to be taken) will be open at the end of the registration,โ the body said.
