2023 WASSCE TIPS

However, there are some places candidates can get some tips for the 2023 examinations. These places will give candidates about 95% sure questions.

They include;

1. Past Questions

One thing most candidates aren’t aware is that WAEC doesn’t really set new questions for the WASSCE or BECE. All questions set by WAEC are past questions. For this reason, all candidates who wish to get ‘APOR’ must take a look at the previous years’ past questions. Candidates should solve the last five years’ past questions.

2. Text Books

There are text books for each WASSCE or BECE subject. The test books are designed based on the GES and WASSCE syllabus. All answers to most WASSCE and BECE questions can be found in those text books. This is why candidates must be with their books in this period.

3. Teachers

In these last days, candidates must always be in class to get some tips from their tutors. Teachers have been teaching the subject for a long time and knows the areas WAEC usually concentrate more. They also know how WAEC marks papers. They are the best persons to get your ‘APOR’ from.
