WAEC Exam Preparation Guide - Edwin Ogie Library

WAEC Examination Guide for Students

Welcome to the Edwin Ogie Library! This guide is tailored to help you succeed in your WAEC exams by following the structure and marking schemes laid out by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC).

📌 Understand the WAEC Scheme of Work

  • Review each subject’s official WAEC syllabus.
  • Break it down into weekly or monthly study plans.
  • Use past questions to identify frequently tested topics.

📝 How to Answer WAEC Questions Step-by-Step

  • Read the Instructions Carefully: Never rush into answering. Take 2 minutes to fully understand the requirements.
  • Underline Keywords: Identify command words like “Explain,” “List,” “Describe,” “Calculate.”
  • Plan Your Answer: For theory or essay questions, outline points first.
  • Answer What Is Asked: Don't add irrelevant info to fill up space.
  • Use Bullet Points: For listing or highlighting key facts. It’s easier for WAEC markers to grade.
  • Use Formulas and Units: In Physics, Chemistry & Maths, write formulas first before solving. Don’t forget units!
  • Label Diagrams: In Biology/Geography, neat and labeled diagrams score higher.

📊 Marking Scheme Awareness

  • Each question carries specific marks. Don't waste too much time on low-mark questions.
  • Break long answers into steps—each step usually earns a mark.
  • Include definitions, laws, or principles clearly. WAEC allocates marks for these.

🕐 Time Management During Exams

  • Start with questions you are confident in.
  • Spend about 1 minute per mark. A 10-mark question = 10 minutes max.
  • Leave space for skipped questions and return later if time permits.

📚 Practice Makes Perfect

  • Practice using WAEC past questions for each subject.
  • Time yourself in a quiet space like the actual exam.
  • Study in groups when needed—teach one another!
