The exam

What is WASSCE?

WASSCE is the West African Senior School Certificate Examination, a school leaving exam (Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, Liberia and The Gambia). Conducted by the West African Examinations Council for school candidates and separately for private candidates. Each subject usually has an objective paper, an essay or theory paper, and practical or oral tests where relevant. Candidates sit a broad set of subjects with English and mathematics compulsory. Grades are reported per subject and universities require specified combinations, often alongside a national entrance test such as Nigeria's UTME.

Who takes it: Students finishing senior secondary school in West African countries, who need the certificate for university admission and many jobs.

How to prepare

Studying for WASSCE, step by step

  1. 01

    Prioritise

    Theory papers reward full, well-labelled answers and correct terminology; practise writing them out in full, not just picking options.

  2. 02

    Practise

    English and mathematics are needed for nearly every course, so make them non-negotiable daily subjects throughout the year.

  3. 03

    Avoid the traps

    Use the official syllabus and marking schemes to focus on topics examined regularly rather than covering every textbook chapter equally.

  4. 04

    Ask, then watch

    Type or say a topic in your own words; the tutor plans a storyboard, one picture per idea, and explains it step by step.

  5. 05

    Interrupt and check

    Say "wait, why?" mid-explanation and it answers on the picture; a checkpoint question ends every lesson.

  6. 06

    Your papers

    Upload past papers and notes so the practice follows the exam, and use Tests for graded tests.

Ask it anything

Questions WASSCE students ask

  • Explain how to write a formal letter for English Language.

Questions

Asked, Answered

Can LetMeTeach help me prepare for WASSCE?

Yes. Ask any topic from the WASSCE syllabus and the tutor plans a lesson pitched to the exam, explains it out loud with live visuals, stops when you interrupt, and asks a checkpoint question. Theory papers reward full, well-labelled answers and correct terminology; practise writing them out in full, not just picking options.

Can I use my own WASSCE past papers and notes?

Yes. Upload PDFs and images, such as photos of class notes or a past paper, up to 3 files per session and 10 MB each, and the tutor grounds the session in them. The Tests section adds tests from a question bank and AI tests, graded on the server.

Does it teach in the language I study WASSCE in?

LetMeTeach teaches in 26 languages (including English and French) and plans the lesson in the language you choose rather than translating it. The Free plan includes 7 hours a month with no card.
