Introduction

The West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) is the final certification examination for third year students. It also acts as the main criteria for selection to tertiary institutions. The WASSCE examination is conducted in May/June for students who are still in school and in September/October for private candidates- popularly known as NovDec.

In addition to the core subjects, candidates must select three to four elective subjects depending on their course of study to meet the full requirements of the examination.
