The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has announced the commencement of the first-ever free Computer-based Test mock exam for private applicants participating in the 2024 first-series West African Senior Secondary School Examination (WASSCE).

Moyosola Adesina, the acting head of the Public Affairs department, made this revelation in a statement on Monday.

This is ahead of the actual computer-based test’s first series, which is set to start nationwide for private candidates on Wednesday, January 31, according to the statement.

The statement read, “The mock examination will hold on January 23 and 24, 2024. Candidates are expected to log on to the mockcbt.waec.org.ng portal from their phones or personal computers to take the examination.

“The mock examination portal will be accessible all day for the two days. Candidates would be allowed to access the mock examination page a second time if the first attempt fails.

“Information containing login details of registered candidates will be sent to their respective email addresses and phone numbers as soon as registration closes.

“Also, a link to the tutorial video on how to use the examination portal will be made available on all our social media platforms.”
