Is WAEC examination difficult/easy?

In my opinion, WAEC examination is an easy examination to pass as long as you prepare very well for the examination. Yes, it is really easy. The reason why many students still fail WAEC examination these days is because they made it difficult for themselves by not preparing for the examination at all. In fact, most students in Africa now rely on different forms of examination malpractice to pass, which is apparently not good.

I am not saying this to make you feel calm or frightened about the impending WAEC examination. What is am saying is nothing but the truth. That notwithstanding, it is also pertinent to know that 40-50% of candidates who write WAEC examination every year still fail it. The percentage is really scary nowadays.

Here is the logic, WAEC is very easy but due to fear, tension, poor preparations and others, students continually fail the examination. Just last week, I met a student who is to write the impending 2024 WAEC examination.

When I asked him about how he was preparing so far, he told me not to worry, because he had already paid money for examination malpractice in a miracle center. This really got me. At that point I realized that one of the reasons why many students still fail WAEC examination is because they actually want to fail.

WAEC is easy but indolent students will always say it is too difficult or too stressful to prepare for WAEC considering the number of books one needs to read to pass the examination. In addition to this, some students have also made the examination difficult by staring up fear and tension in themselves before writing the examination.

Suffices it to say that you can never pass any examination successfully with fear and tension in your your mind. That is one of the most general problem amongst WAEC candidates today. Immediately you mention WAEC to any WAEC candidate, he/she will be in great tension. I guess it is because you have been preoccupied by other people who equally believes that the examination is difficult.

Like I said before, WAEC examination is easy to pass. If you really want to pass WAEC examination, you need to read assiduously, and go through my article on how to pass WAEC for more tips. Currently, there is no other tentative way to pass WAEC examination except by reading. Students who have given cold shoulders to this, will continue to say that the examination is difficult.
