‘EXPO’ WAEC

• Facebook
• Twitter
• Pinterest

Do not seek any WAEC ‘expo’ in May/June or GCE WAEC Examination online nor should you indulge in any ‘expo’ or rather examination malpractice. Perhaps you did for 2021 and in 2022, but don’t use ‘expo’ any longer to write your examination. ‘Expo’ destroys a student’s future and makes him not realize his full potential.

Examination malpractice is destroying our education system and it takes away the interest in learning among Nigerian students. I strongly urge you not to ever think of indulging or involving in an ‘expo’, whichever form of it. Pay attention to your studies. If you prepare for your exams, you will surely pass.

Do not indulge in any WAEC ‘EXPO’ even NECO or JAMB EXPO or any other exam be it internal or external. ‘EXPO’ WAEC, NECO, or JAMB undoubtedly ruins one’s potential, career, and life.

WAEC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Candidates’ Searched FAQs on Google Search

Here are 6 WAEC candidates’ most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) on Google Search

When is WAEC Registration and Examination for 2022/2023 Starting & Closing? When is the Result Release Date?

Many WAEC students and prospective school and private examination candidates for 2022 and 2023 might be asking: ‘’When will WAEC Registration & Examination for school 2022/2023 start & close & Result Release Date’’? Others may be asking: ‘’When is the WAEC registration and examination starting and closing dates for private examination (first series and second series)’’? The rest may be asking, ‘’Is WAEC Results for 2021 or 2022 out?

We shall in this blog post provide you a timeline for registrations – starting and closing dates, examination dates (usually provided with the release of the examination timetable), and the result release date for 2020, 2021, 2022 & 2023 WAEC school candidates (WAEC May/June) and private candidates GCE First Series & Second Series (November/December) examination

How much does WAEC Registration Cost? What is WAEC Examination Registration Fee?

Examination candidates paid a fee of N13,950 to the bank or any other WAEC-accredited credit platform to obtain an e-Registration PIN and an information CD with which to proceed with the online registration for the WAEC examination in what can be termed the Registration Form & Fees.

In a nutshell, WAEC Registration Form for 2019, 2020 and 2021 cost N13,950 per candidate.

However, since the onset of 2022, prospective WAEC examination candidates are now required to pay a fee of N18,000 instead of N13,950 to obtain the e-Registration PIN and an information CD and further complete the registration online in what can be termed the Registration Form & Fees be it for school candidates’ examination (May/June) or private candidates examination first series (January/February) and second series (November/December).

So, the 2022 WAEC Registration Form costs N18,000. Previously that the 2023 WAEC Registration Form is expected to remain unchanged at N18,000 per candidate.

Is 2022 WAEC Result coming out? When will WAEC results for 2022 be out? When should I expect my WAEC result to be out?

As of the time of this article, WAEC has released results for January/February Private Candidates GCE First Series, May/June School Candidates, and November/December Private Candidates GCE Second Series for 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 except for the 2022 GCE Second Series which is on-going at the moment.

However, the clear answer to the question: ‘Is WAEC result out?’ and ‘When will WAEC result for 2022 be out?’ is that WAEC announced that results of any WASSCE conducted by the body would be released 30 days after the examination but the WASSCE School Candidates for May/June 2021 was released 45 days after ending on 8^th October 2021 same as for May/June 2022.

The bottom line is that you should expect your WAEC result to be out no later than 45 days after the last paper is taken.
