How to Pass WAEC Examination Excellently
Here are tips on how to prepare and pass your WAEC examination excellently;
1.Use the WAEC syllabus to study
Studying the WAEC syllabus is the secret to passing the SSCE exam with an excellent grade. The West Africa Examination Council (WAEC) syllabus contains topics that you must study.
The syllabus serves as a guide for students to read topics they would encounter in the exam.
Studying outside the syllabus is the sure way to failure. You must read only the topics in the syllabus
By default, every school uses the WAEC syllabus from SSS 1 to SSS3 learning. It is advisable to go through the syllabus not to omit any topic during your study.
The WAEC syllabus serves as a guide to how what you should study. For example, you will know which topic to read first before going on to the next.
At the end of this post, I have included a link to get the WAEC syllabus for all WASSCE subject.
2.Create a study time table
Creating a perfect study timetable is necessary for you to perform well in your exam. You have to assign a different subject for each particular day. For example, you can decide to study Physics on Monday, Chemistry on Tuesday and so on.
Your daily study schedule should not include numerous topics that you are unable to read.
Make a study program for yourself that you can stick to every day.
Read at a pace that you are comfortable with. You should not be intimidated by your friend's ability to read five topics in one day. When you don't know your reading capacity, don't use this technique.
The first person to complete the syllabus will not be rewarded. The only thing that matters is that you pass your examinations with flying colors.
Start your preparations early enough to cover the syllabus no matter what your reading pace could be.
Creating a perfect study timetable is not enough. Stick to it every day. I know that studying for an exam is not an easy task, but you must persevere to burn the midnight candle.
Do not give up or try to encourage your laziness. It is far more fulfilling to pass your WAEC once and for all in one sitting than to rewrite the exam next year.
The time to pay the price for an excellent result is now. Make sure that you stick with your study timetable.

Reading and studying is the only way to pass your examination with flying colours. There are no two ways about it. It is the only secret to how you can make A’s in WAEC.
Reading your notes and textbooks is not enough. You must study between the lines to understand the topics in the syllabus.

5.Practice WAEC past questions
A Nigerian student is pursuing his education.
The best approach to pass your WAEC exams is to study old questions and answers. Purchase a booklet of previous questions and answers.
As you practice these questions, you'll gain a better understanding of how WAEC constructs their exams. The theory section of previous questions will assist you in understanding how to respond to essay questions.
Do not make the typical error of memorizing the answers from the previous question booklet. You must exercise problem-solving skills. The goal of the previous questions is for you to learn how to answer them on your own.
It is required to obtain a copy of previous questions and answers, as well as an explanation of the answers.
Now is the greatest time to prepare for your WAEC exam. You can start studying for the SSCE exam even if you are in SSS1 or SSS2.
Do not put off your preparations till the last class of senior secondary school.
It is not too late to begin your preparations if you are currently in SSS 3. Make a study program that suits your needs.
