if it's true that you are an examiner please explain the meaning of this in details for me
He is right. This may be for any of the following reasons:
1) The candidate number entered while checking the result is wrong.
2) The candidate was not actually registered, but the school managed to fake everything to deceive the candidate and they succeeded. I have seen this severally. Don't doubt it. They can sort supervisors, print fake I'd cards and manipulate other factors.

OPEN LETTER TO #WAEC

DEAR WAEC
It saddens my heart to write on this note. The issue on ground is making me want to ask myself if examination is the true test of students ability... Of course not, how can the whole of a Centre fail one subject... All students in a particular Centre failed just one subject without explanation from the examination board.

This surely leaves me with the conclusion that WAEC is an under utilized examination board and as such not capable of conducting exam in the country,. Little wonder why waec result is unacceptable outside West Africa. Few years from now.. I'm so sure that students will get an eye opener and they will loose confidence in WAEC then opt for #NECO. Why will you jeopardize students future with your negligence and incompetence? Waec has been politicized and as such we no longer rest our confidence in WAEC.
WAEC... Waste And Exploits Commoners (WAEC)
This teacher is a full oo. waec, this guy has expose his skul...pls dat centre shuld b investigated and ponished because it shows there was exam malpractice in dat centre. how will all d students fail d subject.

Re: Teacher Writes An Open Letter To WAEC Over Results by cdz: 10:21am On Aug 08, 2016
First off, the language, the logic and the claim of the op is flawed. I don't know what subject you teach, but your language certainly could do with some polishing. Second, WAEC isn't flawed just because your school didn't get what you anticipated. Your school is just ONE school. Perhaps you should ask other schools what they think and how they fared. Finally, who on earth told you that WAEC is not acceptable beyond West Africa? Please get your facts right. WAEC results can take you anywhere in the world.

Your write-up has no element of credibility: you mention no school, no specific subject and no specific grade.

"they will soon LOOSE confidence...".
Little wonder your students failed your subject in their SSCE exams. I have absoute confidence in the conduct of examinations by WAEC. I speak as one who failed a subject in the said exams before and I knew exactly why I got a D7. the Following year, I had a B2 in the same subject. Please make sure you teach your students not only the right thing, but how to answer questions correctly. A student might know what to write but not how to answer questions.

And by the way, are you sure you didn't pass them "chokes" during the exams that later backfired?

I would differ with the writer if the letter. As an examiner with WAEC, I have had a centre where the students score between range less than 5.

The major cause may not be far fetched except we will not tell ourselves the truth. This is as a result of examination malpractice. Once the source material is wrong, what do you think of others copying from that wrong source?

Let's not play the ostrich. It is not WAEC's fault.
That's not possible..... The brilliant ones don't cheat and I believe that at least 10 of them will be at the centre

Probably there was wide spread cheating in that subject in that center.

But I think this year waec result is a greek gift from apc government.

WAEC passed many many people any how.

TRUE TALK.
I once witnessed a case whereby the students in a centre were crying after writing the exams because the "answers" given to them were those for the previous year, and the said students were foolish enough not to scrutinize such "help" offered them before swallowing and downloading them hook, line and sinker.
I have seen another case whereby I collected the material given to them and compared it with the questions asked, I discovered only about 25-30% of the answers were correct.
I recently saw the result of a student that went to a village school to enable him engage in exam malpractice. All I was seeing was D7, E8, F9. Even in subjects like Civic Education
It even takes a genius to be able to correctly "download" the source materials in a way that will make him/her pass such exam.

The bottomline is; EXAMINATION MALPRACTICE DOES MORE HARM THAN GOOD.

Truth: All your students failed the subject.
Reason: They all copied the wrong thing.


Education has been bastardized in Nigerian schools


When I was serving in the north, you need to witness when they were writing WAEC to believe the level of examination malpractice going on.


It got to a point I was wondering if they are actually writing an exam


They didn't bother doing the malpractice(runz) in secrecy


Students were moving from one hall to another, sitting on the tables and all sorts of nonsense

From what I heard from a Waec official, the exam body don't really do fair marking. They intentionally mark certain states higher than some other states. For instance, Lagos state has the highest marking criteria and that simply means when a student in Lagos gets a C, another student in a state like kano or borno with the same raw score will be graded with an A.
This is simply the reason why you will see schools in some states getting all As and they can't defend it in post UME.
Post UME to me is a true test for a potential undergraduate academic ability.
Sorry to tell you but this comment of yours is a fallacy. The same marking guide used to mark Lagos is also used to mark every other state and West African country partaking. The marking guide is put together with the collaboration of teachers from several schools and country.

opt for NECO? I laugh in Swahili.
So NECO is more widely accepted than WAEC?

WAEC doesn't mark everyone down in a center for exam malpractice. If you mark a script and report exam malpractice, you will have to give instances and all the affected candidates will be examined one after the other by at least 3 officers and scrutinized seriously before a conclusion can be gotten.

From my simple experience of invigilation and WAEC marking, WAEC should not be blamed. It could be a glaring malpractice of the highest order.

There was a case of a projectile calculation in physics, I think WAEC 2010 in Lagos, where a ball was projected from a tower of a particular height and the total height covered by the ball was required to be calculated. Students finished the exam and a couple of them narrated to me how interesting it was and showed me the expo that got to them from a so called tutorial master from another centre. I looked through and realised that only the height covered by the ball from the top level of the tower was calculated (a correct value though) but was supposed to be added to the height of the tower in order to get the overall height. I must say here that almost all the students that sat for the exam in the hall wrote that same thing in the expo.

Now, you are an examiner marking the scripts from this centre, you marked the first 50 out of 150, saw they were all making that same error including other very obvious ones, marked another 50, same error, what would be your conclusion? Then you question, how can all students make exactly the same error of this kind and at the same time?

In so many cases, many students forget expos (hard copy) in their answer booklets and submit as it is. how would you expect the examiner to react after he compares the forgotten expo with other students scripts and realises good correlation.

last year I got D7 in literature and that was the best result in the school. when I wrote GCE in 2014 I had a C, even though I wasnt offering literature then. wrote neck and had a B. so waec isn't as transparent as we've been led to believe
