In a statement on Tuesday, the Council said registration period had been extended to Tuesday, October 29, 2024.
“The examination will adopt the hybrid mode of delivering the examination, which implies that the objective or multiple-choice questions would be rendered on-screen and candidates would be required to give their responses on the screen, while the essay and practical questions will be rendered on-screen, likewise, but candidates would have to give their responses using the answer booklets provided”, it said.
WAEC clarified that candidates who prefer the traditional Paper-and-Pen mode will have the option to take the entire exam using that method.
To accommodate more participants, the registration period has been extended to Tuesday, October 29, 2024.

“All intending, as well as registered, candidates are advised to take advantage of the numerous learning resources provided by the Council.
