The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) is an established authority that conducts the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for students in their final year of senior secondary school. This examination is a significant educational milestone for students residing in five English-speaking West African countries: Nigeria, Ghana, Gambia, Liberia, and Sierra Leone.
The WASSCE is a comprehensive test that evaluates the academic achievements and capabilities of students across a broad spectrum of subjects, which include the sciences, arts, and commercial studies. The performance in these exams is crucial as it often determines the future educational and career opportunities for the candidates.
To facilitate a smooth examination process, WAEC releases a detailed schedule known as the WAEC timetable. This timetable is meticulously planned and published well in advance of the actual exam dates, usually a few months prior. It serves as an essential tool for students, educators, and schools, providing them with the necessary information to prepare for the examinations effectively.
The timetable outlines the specific dates and times allocated for each subject’s examination, tailored to the curricular requirements of each participating country. By having access to this schedule, students can devise a strategic study plan, allowing them to allocate sufficient time for revision and practice in each subject area.
The latest WAEC timetable for the academic session of 2025/2026 has been made available, catering to the needs of science, arts, and commerce students in all the listed countries. This updated schedule is designed to help students navigate their exam preparations with clarity and focus, aiming to enhance their readiness for this pivotal academic challenge.
