The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has officially announced the transition from the traditional paper and pencil test to the Computer-Based Test (CBT) mode for the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE).
This transformative move was disclosed in a statement released on Monday by Moyosola Adesina, the acting head of the Public Affairs Unit of WAEC.
The transition to the CBT mode is a significant shift in the examination system, marking a departure from the conventional testing method.
The statement emphasized that this innovative approach aligns with global best practices and aims to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the examination process.
The commencement of this new examination format is set to take effect with the West African Senior School Certificate Examination for private candidates scheduled for February 2024.
According to WAEC, it aims to leverage technology to provide a more secure, streamlined, and accessible examination experience for candidates.
Candidates, educational institutions, and other stakeholders are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the upcoming changes and prepare for a smoother transition to the Computer-Based Test mode.
