The general question most WAEC and JAMB candidates usually ask is, “how do I start preparing for WAEC & JAMB? or What are the steps to start preparing for WAEC and JAMB? Its normal to ask these questions especially during the period of exams.

To get really prepared for WAEC and JAMB you need to understanf what is happening when you see the WAEC exam failure statistics between 2011 to 2019 below.

WAEC Exam Failure Statistics between 2011 to 2019.

About 78.65 failed the WAEC exam in 2010
69% failed in 2011
62% failed in 2012
70% failed in 2014
70% failed in 2016
63% failed in Maths and English in 2018

These statistics are not to scare you off about the exam but to help you know how you should prepare very well to pass in one sitting.

I want you to understand that things have now changed about what it takes for you to get admission with NECO, WAEC and JAMB.

First, you must not only have credit passes in your subjects, but MUST have ‘A’s and ‘B’ in all your courses including a high score in your JAMB Exam if you want to score a strong Post UTME aggregate in order for you to secure admission.

Secondly, not all universities in Nigeria put their candidates through a Post UTME test. So you can put in all your abilities into coming up with an outstanding NECO, WAEC and JAMB results once for all.

To start preparing for WAEC, you must set a time to practice past WAEC exam questions. This would help you become familiar with how the exam questions are set also and prepare you ahead of time. With over 8 years of past WAEC questions and detailed solutions available on the app, you can easily prepare for your WAEC exam.
