2025 WAEC GCE Timetable for 2nd Series

By  Updated on 

The official timetable for the 2025 WASSCE Second Series for private candidates is now out. Exams begin 24 October and end 18 December. Read on for dates, practical details, and the full breakdown you really need to stay on track.

WAEC GCE 2025 Timetable Is Out, and It's Time to Get Serious

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has finally dropped the timetable (for candidates in Ghana, Nigeria, The Gambia, Sierra Leone, and Liberia) for the 2025 second series of WASSCE for private candidates. If you’re planning to sit this one, the countdown has already begun.

Your first paper? That kicks off on Friday, 24 October. The last one? Thursday, 18 December. Yep, it’s a two-month marathon. A bit scary? Maybe. Manageable? Definitely—if you play it smart.

Here’s the thing though: it’s not just about dates and subjects. There’s a maze of practicals, oral exams, staggered sets, and project work. And let’s not forget those weird footnotes only meant for specific countries.

Don’t panic. We’re breaking it down.

Special Notes You’ll Actually Want to Read

So, What Should You Do Now?

Honestly? Get organised. Download/Print the full WAEC GCE 2025 timetable (PDF 98KB), mark your dates, and stick it on your wall. Or fridge. Or bathroom door. Whatever works.

Also, keep a separate list of the project subjects and oral tests—those tend to get missed because WAEC doesn’t assign fixed times.


Now is a good time to ditch the last-minute lifestyle and plan ahead. Sure, the timetable looks like a beast, but with a bit of structure, it’s just a big puzzle you’ll solve one subject at a time.

Start slow, stay steady, and don’t ghost your revision schedule.

Catch your breath now. The real hustle starts soon.
