I have marked Mathematics scripts in WAEC for like five years now. In all that time i have not come across a centre where the candidates did not cheat. How did i know this:

1. Students write Mathematics terms in words e.g. 2y = 4 as "two y equals to four". This shows that the answers are being dictated to the students

2. Students answering the same set of questions, in the same order, making the same mistakes and using the same method.

3. Most times, the students end up scoring scores like 35%, 34% , 36%, 35% , 32% e.tc. These scores are quesitonable because there is little or no spread.

The above candidates may still manage to credit Mathematics if they can score at least 45 out of 50 in their objective. This is not difficult to do.

If a student scored 35% in theory and 45 in obective, his/her total score will be 80/150. If you reduce this to percentage, you get 53% which is a credit.

With this, I can say confidently that the results of most of your students were not obtained by their own effort.

WAY FORWARD

1. JAMB must be curbed from all forms of examination malpractices. This will help filter the cheats and savage our universities
2. Students should realised that if they cheat to pass WAEC they will have to continue to cheat all the days of their life.
3. Parents should stop arranging for special centres for their children.

You can add yours.

Who do you think is benefiting from this?

The fault is wit dos special centre schools whose main purpose is to make money were student pay above 60k for waec and neco

Yea right, so what brought about he who's without sin? op is trying to reduce malpractice and you are here saying he who's without sin..... are you saying everyone should keep quiet about exam malpractice?

You are right, majority of us have been involved in exam malpractice before either directly or indirectly. What makes it wrong is to continue in it. you can not cheat and make lasting success.
