WAEC SYLLABUS-All subjects

Importance of the WASSCE / WAEC syllabus

Table of Contents [hide]

They include:

 

Prevents confusion on policies relating to a course

The WASSCE / WAEC syllabus was created by WAEC to ensure a fair and impartial understanding between the instructor and students such that there is minimal confusion on policies relating to a course.

Provides an outline of topics to cover prior to the WASSCE

The WASSCE / WAEC syllabus provides an outline of topics students should cover before they sit for the WASSCE / WAEC exam. However, this doesn’t necessary mean that questions on the WASSCE / WAEC exam would come from every topic on the WASSCE / WAEC syllabus.

Some questions on the WASSCE / WAEC exam may require knowledge of abstract topics.

For example, students who plan to write Elective / Further Mathematics on the WASSCE are required by WAEC to study Trigonometry. However, questions on trigonometry may require knowledge of Algebra from General Mathematics.

Keeps students up to international education standards

The WAEC syllabus also keeps students up to international educational standards.

For example, topics to be covered on the WASSCE / WAEC Chemistry syllabus are similar to those that should be covered on the SAT II Chemistry syllabus. That’s why students who study topics covered on the WASSCE / WAEC syllabus can easily attain a high score on the SAT Subject test on Chemistry.

 

Helps prevent failure

There are many reasons why students fail to pass the WASSCE / WAEC exam with good grades. One of these reasons is that they are not aware of every topic they should master prior to the WASSCE / WAEC exam.

It’s worst considering most textbooks or teachers don’t cover all the topics the WASSCE / WAEC syllabus for their respective subjects’ states. Some students don’t even have access to WASSCE / WAEC syllabus in their respective schools. It’s like preparing for a war without having an idea what are the capabilities, tactics, or terrain of your enemy.

 

Before you write the WASSCE…know this

You are not fully prepared for the WASSCE / WAEC exam if you are not conversant with the topics WAEC instructs you should treat before you write the test—you could crash.

Solving WASSCE past questions is a good thing, at least, we all know that most of what WAEC does is to recycle or repeat old questions. However, they could bring an unpopular question to a future exam—don’t be caught unawares. The WAEC / WASSCE syllabus (for different subjects) we provide on this page is your friend. With it, you’d be aware of topics to cover in your study.
