Each of your WAEC subjects will have an objective paper of approximately 50 questions with options lettered A–D.
And doing well in your subjects’ objective papers will increase your chances of getting an A (or at least a B) in that subject.
1. Respond to all questions
All WAEC objective papers instruct you to “Answer all questions,” so make sure you do so.
Do not ignore the 50 objective questions.
Even if you don’t know the answer, choose any of the options at random because guessing the answer is preferable to leaving it blank.
A guess may be correct by chance, but a blank cannot be.
9. Shade clearly
You’d be given an OMR sheet to shade the appropriate boxes to show your WAEC exam details and your answers to the objective questions.
Be sure that all your shadings are dark enough to be seen without stress.
How will this help you pass WAEC in one sitting?
Well…
What’s worse than choosing a truly correct answer only for the computer to fail it because it thought you didn’t choose any answer?
OMR sheets are often marked by computers that are programmed to recognize only dark shades.
So when you shade faintly, the computer will assume that you didn’t shade any answer for that box.
If this error happened in the exam detail boxes, the result for that subject might be withheld.
And if it happened in the answer boxes, no mark will be awarded for that particular question.
So to prevent such computer error from withholding your result or reducing your total objective score for that WAEC subject, shade clearly.
Use pencils that give darker shades on paper. HB’s are recommended.
