As you prepare for the 2024 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), having the correct marking schemes is essential. These marking schemes help students, teachers, and schools better understand the expected answers and grading approach used by WAEC.
It’s important to note that sometimes, certain textbooks may contain information or answers that are not aligned with the WAEC marking scheme. This is why it’s crucial to use trusted and recommended resources for exam preparation.
Both the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) and WAEC need to actively monitor and remove textbooks that provide inaccurate information. While marking exam papers, examiners may discover that some definitions and answers do not meet WAEC’s standards. Unfortunately, once marking begins, it’s too late to address these inconsistencies.
To avoid these mistakes in the future, some schools implement retraining programs for teachers after receiving reports from the chief examiners. This ensures that teachers stay updated on any changes or corrections in the marking schemes, preventing them from teaching outdated or incorrect information.
