First, congratulations to her on such a significant accomplishment.

The WAEC result she has is already a reflection of her ability or competence.

To write the exam and pass, I am sure she applied the needed efforts and studied beyond the range of her current syllabus or the syllabus required at her level.

The purpose of school is to facilitate learning or aid teaching, the purpose of the exam is to get evidence that the students has acquired knowledge, the result again is an evidence that she has acquired knowledge.

Is exam a good test of knowledge? I don’t know a better one.

Is her result an evidence of her knowledge? Certainly, at the moment.

Was it possible, she was assisted in her exam center during the course of the exam, and the result is not actually a reflection of her ability? Absolutely possible.

These questions and many more, which you have first hand access to, should drive your decision about the fellow.

If the result is a reflection of her ability, then I see little point in her repeating the process. The truth is, more students from secondary schools in Nigeria don’t get the green light on their first attempt of the external examination <WASSCE, NECO>.

Do they repeat the final class? No, they attend private tutorials and take the private exams. Are they then inadequate? No, they are not.

If the result is a reflection of her ability, I think she should be given the opportunity to forge ahead, she should use the time that may be wasted in the pursuit of what she already has, to pursue what she is yet to have or gain.

What matters is, she doesn’t stop learning… so register her in a reputable learning center where she will be prepared for her subsequent exams (UTME & Post UTME).

I believe the UTME consolidate further even on WAEC in terms of the confidence required. The UTME questions are more technical and demanding in knowledge; this implies, she will still be gaining knowledge at the secondary level, but a knowledge her supposed peers do not have access to, and a specific knowledge oriented towards her intended course of study in the higher institution. Her actual peers now are those who have passed WAEC and are preparing for the UTME.

However, if there is any indication, that the result is not a reflection of her ability, and that she is still much lacking the knowledge she is to be imbued or instructed in her final secondary class; then I think she should focus on learning and acquiring the expected knowledge at the level.

If her competence level, is slightly behind, then you should enroll her in both UTME and the SSCE simultaneously, with the UTME being the priority.

If fund is only available for one or limited fund, let her go for the UTME, then complement the UTME, with her also attending tutorials for those wanting to write WASSCE. She would gain the needed knowledge from such tutorial.

However, whatever you do, be reasonable in the pressure you apply on her; it’s important you apply pressure, so her ability don’t rust away. Her success is not an excuse for binge watching of series or TV shows. However, cut her the needed slacks.

If she intends studying accounting, she is currently qualified to write the ICAN exams at the ATS level. Again, such exam is only a further consolidation of her existing learning and knowledge.

All the best to her.

my parents pulled my brother out while in ss2. He had his neco result last year. He did waec this year and got five A1s mathematics inclusive and others are b2 and b3. No credits

Ps - he scored 295 in jamb and he did all that in a public school.

I think bulk of the performance is from the learner. If your kid if a fast learner and ambitious... He or she should meet up.
My brother did that without breaking the bank. He used some of my old textbooks and we bought new ones too...
He spend bulk of his time reading and sometimes play games. Hes dosent get tired of reading.

The best is allowing your kid finish ss 3, but if you think hes able to learn on his own will little or no guidance. You can take the above risk. the performance depends on his innate abilities.

southniyikaye:
pls let her finish ss3.. Most courses taught in ss3 is to integrate them into 100level..
It will affect her if you pull her out..
Henhen Mr abbey, abeg na ibadan me self dey o, incase any job pop up sir, I am readily available..
I am a family man in a very dicey situation now, God bless..

Overrated833:
Let her finish ss3 please oo e get y

munezo:
You are a blessed man.

I will advise you to allow her finish with her peers next year, and do the exam again for an improved result. Pulling her out at SS2 may look like she didn't complete her secondary education, which may be needed later in the future. Also consider the valedictory service, awsrds, year book and other 'serenren' that she will miss if she doesn't finish with her mates.

She can then prepare well for her JAMB afterwards

olasaad:
Pulling her out may affect her later in university. Let her continue with her mates. She will need the ss3 experience when she enter 100level
