First off, the council said that the 2023 WAEC exam would be held May and June. This gives candidates enough time to study for the examination and guarantees that it will be written before rainy season, which could disrupt the test’s logistical planning.

The CBT format also offers the benefit of making it possible to grade test scripts accurately and quickly, which will speed up the process of releasing results.

Additionally, the council will send a team of invigilators to every testing center to make sure the test is administered fairly and openly. The exam’s setting must be conducive for learning, and candidates must not commit any type of malpractice, according to the invigilators.
