Why the Timetable Matters

The WAEC timetable is more than just a schedule. It’s a strategic plan that enables candidates to structure their revision and study effectively. By providing a clear outline of the exam dates and times, students can prioritize their study areas, ensuring that ample time is allocated to each subject. This organised approach to preparation is instrumental in building confidence and enhancing performance.

Key Dates and Sessions

The Gambia, Liberia, and Sierra Leone are countries in West Africa and are near the line that divides the Earth into the eastern and western halves. They use the same time as Greenwich, England, which is called Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) or UTC+0. This means they follow the time mentioned below.

Nigeria is also in West Africa but it’s to the east of this dividing line. Nigeria uses West Africa Time (WAT), which is 1 hour ahead of GMT, or UTC+1. So, Nigerian students should add 1 hour to the time shown in the timetable below.
