The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) says it will commence its Computer-Based West African Senior School Certificate Examination (CBWASSCE) for private candidates from October 25, 2024.

According to a statement released by the examination body on Tuesday, October 22, the exercise is expected to last till December 20, 2024.

“The examination will adopt the hybrid mode of delivering the examination, which implies that the objective or multiple-choice questions would be rendered onscreen.

In addition, candidates would be required to give their responses on the screen, while the essay and practical questions will be rendered onscreen, likewise.

However, candidates would have to give their responses using the answer booklets provided,” a WAEC spokesperson, Adesina Fadekemi, said.

Meanwhile, the examination diet has provided an option for candidates who wish to use Paper and Pen mode, for the whole examination papers.

The Council informed all intending candidates that the registration period has been extended to Tuesday, October 29, 2024.
