The reason being that, WAEC is an international exam and their questions usually covers so many topics ranging from the ones you were taught in SSS 1 down to SSS 3 topics.

So imaging studying for nine (9) subjects with each and every one of them covering three different sections. It’s not going to be an easy task. But the earlier you start preparing yourself for it, the more topics you will cover.

It will explain every topic of discourse better and will hasten up your understanding of the topics. Particularly, as an Art student, you wouldn’t want to joke with this.

Equally, textbooks are meant to compliment your reading. Also, with textbooks you’ll understand some questions that you are having difficulty providing answers to.

5. Read the instructions

Unlike the multiple choice questions (popularly called objective) papers, you are not to answer all questions in the WAEC theory parts. In fact, some of the sections are not for the Nigerian student to answer AT ALL.

Such is one of the reasons why you have to read instructions carefully. Passing waec exams is not all about writing the writing, answering the right correction meant for your country matters too.

6. Answer all questions

Usually, the giving instruction in all WAEC multiple choice question papers is to “answer all questions”. Thus, always make sure to do that in all the subjects you registered.

Where you don’t know the correct or appropriate answer, don’t leave it blank, pick any of the options you never can tell which one is the correct.

After all, you might be lucky enough to guess and thick the correct answer but leaving the question blank (unanswered) can never be.

7. Study your note according to waec syllabus

Covering all the topics you’ve treated right from SSS 1 down to SSS 3 is one thing and covering “WAEC recommended” topics, even more, for the exam is another.

Reading and preparing yourself for waec examination in accordance with Waec syllabus is another advantage towards having A’s in the exam.

Reason being that WAEC set it questions based on the topics its recommend for each class in its syllabus for each subject.

So you don’t necessarily have to read every single topics in each subject from SS 1 class to SS 3. Instead read only the recommended topics as contained in the WAEC syllabus.

8. Forget about Expo

The last clue on how to prepare and pass waec in one sitting is to forget about expo. That is to say, shun any forms of examination malpractice.

It’s not smart to depend on expo and it’s a bad idea. Whether you get from the internet or from your teacher, try as much as you can to avoid it.
