Here’s Why WAEC Will Serialise Some Subjects In The 2023 WASSCE

According to the West African Examinations Council, it is going to serialize some topics and questions in the 2023 WASSCE.

The serialisation process simply means that all candidates in the same hall will receive the same question, but with different question numbers. This move is to curb exam malpractices.

Addressing the media, the Head of Public Affairs at the Council, John Kapi says the chosen subjects will be serialised because those subjects can’t be compromised.

“Serialisation is not anything that is landing from space. Besides nothing has changed about the structure of the questions. It is just that we have serialised some of them. It is our trade secret, and we want to maintain that. We are not unduly punishing anybody, it is the same question just that there is some serialisation. There are some of these papers that are high stake and so for those high stake papers we would want to serialise them.”

“Secondly it is a very expensive venture to get into, it is time-consuming and all of that. And so we concentrate more on the high stake papers and then there are a few of them that we consider as low risk, and so we don’t serialise those ones,” he said.

A total of 447,204 candidates drawn from 975 schools are expected to sit for this year’s WASSCE.

The 2023 WASSCE for school candidates has officially started. Some Candidates are currently on their practical work.

Candidates who are yet to write their first paper should study past questions. One secret most candidates doesn’t know about the BECE and WASSCE is that, WAEC doesn’t really set new questions. About 90% of all WASSCE and BECE questions are all past questions. WAEC usually frame the questions to make it new, but it’s a past question.

Candidates should also concentrate on the last five WASSCE past questions; which include; 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

Avoid Total Dependence On Teachers And Tutors For Exams Preparation.If you think total dependence on your teacher will help you pass your exams, then you are wrong. As a WASSCE candidate, you have to do a lot more on your own. Constant reading, preparation and looking for additional materials on the subject matter will broaden your mind, understanding and make your answers richer d unique.

Do not over depend on your tutor, do more for your self and increase your understanding. Today, almost everything you are learning is available on the internet.
