Top 5 Insider Secrets You Should Know About WASSCE for Private Candidates

If you want to sign up for the next West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) in The Gambia, Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria, or Sierra Leone, you should be ready to carefully read what I’m about to say.

Your success (let’s assume you don’t fail) will depend a lot on how well you know these trade secrets and how you use them to your advantage.

My goal is to make sure you have all the information you need to avoid the pitfalls and get fully ready for the WASSCE so you can do very well on it.

Let me tell you more about the 5 secrets about WASSCE for private candidates that you need to know.

1. You can start signing up for the test in January or February.

That’s about three weeks after the new year began. Don’t forget that. Start getting yourself ready to sign up early. Remember that you will have to pay an extra 50% of the original fees if you sign up late. I don’t think you want to waste that much money.

2. It’s very risky to believe what other people say about the WASSCE registration.

On the official website for WAEC/WASSCE registration for Private Candidates, you can find all the information you need about the WASSCE registration process.

All you need is a device that can connect to the internet, and you’re good to go. If you Google the right set of words, like WASSCE REGISTRATION PRIVATE CANDIDATES, you’ll find the right website where you can find out a lot of information for yourself.

3. Some smart guys might be able to trick you.

After about the middle of February, take the time to go to the WAEC website and look up the exact official fees.

4. Gangs of WASSCE result-grade scammers are out there taking advantage of candidates who don’t know what’s going on.

You can’t get real WASSCE grades from these so-called “connection men” or “WASSCE Grade doctors” that will get you anywhere worth going.

As usual, these con artists will be on the loose during the next exam period. My only piece of advice to you is this: be careful.

5. A WASSCE qualification will be more important in the years to come.

Without a WASSCE certificate, it’s hard for young people in English-speaking West Africa to do much of anything right now.

Why do you ask? Because every school and organization in your country and around the world has agreed that it is the only high school diploma from English-speaking West Africa that can be trusted.

The WASSCE certificate is the first step for anyone from Anglophone West Africa who wants to continue their education at the university level or get a job right away.

How do you feel about this last secret? This is the easy answer. You can’t take chances with your WASSCE for private candidate’s preparation.
