The only way this could be archieved is if every student is made an avid computer literate!

A lot of work needs to be done from the grassroot level.

Haha, do you know what you're saying?
Answering chemistry, biology, physics nd so on, practicals with a computer? Nd also, theory questions?

It's actually possible, but one has to be a typist!

Most students can use the computer, but they're not fast in typing compared to how fast one could be when writing with a pen.


If waec plans on implementing cbt in the nearest future, the government should make computer study compulsory right from primary one.
