The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) is set to mark a significant milestone as it prepares to conduct its first Computer-Based Test (CBT) mock examination for the 2024 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE). This move signals a shift towards embracing modern technology in the assessment process.
Scheduled for tomorrow, the CBT mock exam aims to familiarize candidates with the electronic testing format, reducing anxiety and enhancing their confidence in navigating digital assessments. WAEC’s decision to integrate technology aligns with global educational trends, fostering adaptability and aligning students with digital skills essential for the 21st century.
The shift to CBT also promises a more efficient and secure examination process, mitigating challenges associated with paper-based testing. As WAEC takes this progressive step, it reinforces its commitment to providing a contemporary and robust evaluation system for the region’s educational landscape. Students, educators, and stakeholders eagerly anticipate the outcomes of this inaugural CBT mock exam as a precursor to the main WASSCE, heralding a new era in West African examinations.
