While WAEC marking is not an employment opportunity, and cannot even be quoted in the CV as a viable working experience but facilitates your chances of been employed by good schools, the advantages of coordination and marking is stated below:

1. It puts some coins in the pocket. In about five (5)days of using your leisure to mark, you are guaranteed at least N15,000 which has been reviewed upwardly Can serve some purposes;

2. The informative content of the coordination is helpful for teachers. Helps you know the best way to prepare students for the examination. It also enriches the teacher's research and lesson notes;

3. it keeps youths busy esp those unemployed youth and those earning little from their school. The positive thing about it is experience of how to mark waec scripts.

Please, invited or not, if you live near the state capital, check the marking venues used for coordination. Gate-crash (if not invited) and you may be fortunate to get a pack.

Gatecrashers are welcomed nationwide.

WAEC coordination starts:
31st May , 2018 for Chief Examiners and Team leaders!
1st June , 2018 for Examiners and Asst. Examiners.
Coordination ends 3rd June , 2018
Time: 4:00pm

Gate crashers should go to the venue with their relevant certificates (both original and photocopies) and make sure attendances are taken for the 3 days.

Distribution of parcels begin on 5th June, 2018 to all existing examiners and the lucky gate crashers

A hint though from my experience as a gatecrasher, ATTENDANCE at coordination classes is NECESSARY for the 3 days. CONSISTENCY in the 3-day coordination meeting will secure you a chance. Normally, parcels are issued to those who attend the coordination classes, but Chief and Team leaders can be funny, by keeping parcels for invited examiners who do not attend the 3 days coordination. So, "shine your eyes". Note that some marking venues "MAY" issue out parcels to examiners when they are done with the coordination for that day.

Examiners: They mark the scripts of students using a prepared marking guide. Documents required
Your First Degree/HND


Checkers: They cross check the marks awarded to the students and ensure they are properly totalled.
OND, ONLY-Reviewed in 31st May, 2018. To apply as a checker, visit the venue on the day of coordination, address your letter to THE HEAD OF MARKING VENUE, (then add the name of the town). Submit the letter to the Secretarial staff i.e the secretary of the marking venue.

Checkers are usually invited for a test. A test would be conducted for checkers. Basic mathematics. Addition and subtraction. Accuracy and speed is very necessary. I think 20 questions for 10 minutes.

Hint: Just be fast. Your score depends on when you will start checking as the higher the greater number of days
Simple arithmetic. 15 minutes to answer 15 questions and also sum up some figures on the rows and columns.
E.g
56+3-1=

3/3+1/3=

2.5 + 3and1/2

Sq.root of 144 etc.

NB Go to any marking center close to you with the required credentials and attend the coordination session ina subject close to what you studied in school. No body helps anyone here, I marked during my service year, in fact they were begging me to pick more packs and I refused because of the short time frame.

It is worthy to note that they pay per subject multiplied by the number of scripts given to you e.g I think they pay N15 per script for Maths. if you are given 600 scripts that will be N15*600= N9,000.00. coupled with other allowances such as coordination fee, transport,feeding etc. Marking fee varies per subject, you will get to know one applicable to your subject at the marking venue, but the least is N8 per script. That's not the only incentive, as there are others like Lump sum, coordination fee etc that will sum up your pay around 12,000 - 15000 if you have about 320 scripts.
You take scripts home for marking and submit progressively to your Team Leader for vetting and then to your subject script officer for checking. By progressively, I mean that you don't wait till you finish marking the entire scripts issued to you before submission. As you mark, you submit by center/school basis. A parcel usually consists of 2, 3, 4 or 5 schools/centers.

Finally, Damaged, missing, mutilated scripts then u find yourself in the police net without negotiations, even on ypur sick bed, WAEC will come and collect their script, even in your grave they won't spare your corpse for their script, they will wake you up and collect their scripts then ypu can rest in peace.bitter truth.

In my own case I marked
Physics ll
Attendance = 2500
Marking = 3196.38 (334scripts x 9.57)
Lump sum = 5344 (334scripts x 16)
Coordination meeting assistant examiner= 3600
Total = 14640.38
Minus 5% tax = 159.82
Total pay = 14480.56.

NCE holders are not eligible to mark.

Checkers N900 per day. Lagos and Portharcourt N1,200 with food, I am sure if the food is still applicable till date.

P.S: It is a serious offense for a gatecrasher/Examiner to have two parcels. Its an offense in WAEC extant examiner rules.

Wish you all success!!
