The West Africa Examination Council- WAEC has affirmed the Exam Body shall be going fully into CBT Exam starting from 2026 Exams. Ahead of the full scale, WAEC conducts trial computer-based essay test ahead of 2026 exams on 23rd October 2025.
The West African Examinations Council has conducted a trial test on essay writing ahead of the Computer-Based WASSCE for School Candidates in 2026.
The exercise, led by the Head of WAEC’s Nigeria National Office, Dr Amos Dangut, took place on Thursday at the WAEC Training and Testing Centre, Ogba, Lagos.
Senior secondary school students participated in the trial, designed to familiarise them with the upcoming computer-based format combining both objective and essay components.
Dangut explained that the initiative aims to prepare candidates for full digital examination participation while gradually bridging technological gaps among schools across the country.
Recall that the council in September reaffirmed its plan to migrate the WASSCE to a fully CBT format by 2026.
It said the transition, which began with private candidates in 2024, has already made “significant progress and will be scaled up nationwide ahead of next year’s deadline.”
