Over 55% of students that take the West African Senior Certificate Examination (WASSCE) in Ghana, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone each year at least since 2000. The Gambia and Liberia may fail the exam or have really poor grades, which causes some of them to remain at home for an additional year feeling lonely and miserable.
Note that failure in this context refers to failing to earn a passing grade in any of the three required disciplines, including math and English.
The answer to passing Mathematics in the WAEC is not to cheat or enroll in “special centers,” but rather to study diligently.
Keep in mind that if you cheat to pass, you will have to cheat in college as well. It’s possible that mathematics will always be a part of your life.
Do the following in order to pass WAEC Mathematics:
- Begin with the basics. The main issue with most pupils is that they have a weak foundation. The only subject I am aware of with relevant themes is mathematics. Foundational subjects include things like quadratic equations, simultaneous equations, the Pythagorean theorem, indices, etc.
- Master a few subjects. All you need to do is master one subject extremely well; you don’t need to be an expert in every subject. topics like modula arithmetic, building, and graphs
- You need to practice in order to fully understand a subject. The questions on the test can be about things you don’t know.
- Practice makes perfect. The most crucial key is this one. I recently published a book called “I-CAN-SOLVE-IT” as a result of this. It contains historical WAEC maths exam questions from 1988 to 2015.
Tips To Pass English & Mathematics
Here are some advice for passing math and English to maintain this pattern and enhance it:
1. Create a Time Table
A timeline is a very helpful tool for ensuring exam success. It aids in meticulous time management and greatly assists in assisting in the identification of the areas that require attention.
2. perfect through practice
It’s great that some people are naturally brilliant at arithmetic, but if you have trouble with numbers, practice is your best chance.
Get access to approved practice tests, study through them, and by the time the exam rolls around, you’ll be more prepared to handle any questions that may come up.
3. Put important points on a study sheet.
You might think about making a study sheet that you may carry with you as you get ready for the test.
According to WikiHow, you can increase your memory for crucial material by listing all of the formulas, ideas, phrases, and other details you believe you will need to know to pass the test and then writing them down on a notecard or piece of paper.
Keep it with you and pull it out anytime you have a chance to read it.
4. Adhere to the syllabus
Paying attention to the syllabus not only helps you save study time but also enables you to cover the topics required by the testing organization.
5. Pay attention to the following topics when in English:
Part of speech, Tenses, Rules of Concord, Vocabulary (this will help you to express yourself well) and Essay/Letter writing. Punctuation and correct spelling are also essential. Here’s a free resource from WAEC.
