How Does An Adult Take WAEC? by charity00: 12:26pm On Mar 17, 2012
How does an adult who finished SS3 but never took WAEC go back and take it?

You can't go back to secondary school if you are over 25 can you?

So what do you do if you want to sit for the WAEC and you haven't been in secondary school for 6 or 7 years?

@ poster

you might have to check with WAEC.

you can also ask a school principal and see if you can sit for the exam without going back to secondary school.

i dont know if that's allowed though.

And op, simplt take a GCE exam. Its somehow purposely designed for those who need waec result.

If there's an age limit of taking WAEC, I am not aware.
I left primary sch from primary five and so I didnt take the first school leaving cert which incidentally is important in today's Nigeria. I was in SS1 when I sat for it amongst pupils who were between ages 9 - 11. If getting a Waec result is important to you, age shouldnt be a barrier

yes, GCE is also an option.


ask a school principal in your area. You can also find a safe part of the north, where you can take the exam,assuming you have people you know, there. Older students arent such a rarity like we have in the south. Rural areas in any part of nigeria are also an option.



anyway, i also got this from the waec website:


Q. Who are those qualified to sit for the WASSCE?

A. In the case of the school examination, the prospective candidate must be in the SS 3 class in a recognized school,
For the private candidates' examination, any one of the following categories may enter for the WASSCE:

a. Those who have attempted the WASSCE in previous years;
b. Those who have attempted the GCE and obtained a pass in at least three subjects;
c. Those who have passed the Teachers’ Grade two examination.

It is only during the exam period dat u will have to put on d uniform in the school premises and write ur exams like other students, mind u i am saying from exprience hope dis information can help

There was a woman who told us about her testimony too. She did not also do her SSCE before she left School. But she also registered for WAEC in a school and bought their uniform. She just enrol herself for an evening class after work she goes to evening class. The funnest thing about this case is that she had three children in which one of them too is in secondary school. Fortunately with God on her side she passed with good grades which she used in gaining admission to higher institution. Good Luck.
