SEC Tutorial

Mistakes students made in the last WAEC CBT GCE (Jan/Feb) based on actual reports, not assumptions. This is exactly what your child should avoid.

❌ 1. Poor Computer Familiarity (Biggest Problem)

Many students knew the subject but failed because of the system.

• Struggled to use mouse properly
• Couldn’t navigate between questions fast
• Wasted time trying to understand the interface

They ran out of time even when they knew answers.

⏱️ 2. Terrible Time Management (Worse in CBT)

CBT exposed weak students immediately.

• Spending too long on one question
• Not using “skip and return” strategy
• Panic due to on-screen timer

👉 In CBT, this problem became more serious because:

• Timer is always visible
• No relaxed flipping like paper

________________________________________________

🧠 3. Overdependence on “Expo” (It Backfired)

Many students came expecting answers to leak like before.

But CBT changed things:

• Questions were serialized (different versions)
• Some still copied blindly

• Students had same wrong answers
• Performance dropped

________________________________________________

⚠️ 4. Weak Understanding of Questions (Surface Reading)

Because questions were on screen:

• Students rushed reading
• Misread instructions
• Clicked wrong answers quickly

👉 CBT punishes careless reading more than paper.

🔌 5. Panic During Technical Issues

Real issue during the GCE:

• Network failure
• System delays
• Movement between centres

👉 Mistake students made:

• Panic instead of staying calm
• Lost focus after disruption

________________________________________________

✍️ 6. Poor Theory Coordination (Screen vs Paper Problem)

Students struggled with:

• Looking at screen → writing in booklet
• Forgetting parts of questions
• Misnumbering answers

Because:
• No question paper to hold
• Everything is on screen

________________________________________________
📉 7. Lack of CBT Practice Before Exam

Many students went in unprepared for the format.

• First time using CBT in a real exam
• No mock practice
• No familiarity with timing

🚫 8. Careless Clicking Errors

Common but deadly mistakes:

• Clicking wrong option
• Not reviewing answers
• Submitting too early

________________________________________________

9. Drop in Performance Due to Adjustment Issues

Performance dropped not because exam was harder, but because:

• Students couldn’t adapt to CBT
• Anti-cheating measures made guessing harder

Arsenal F.C. won and everywhere was quiet like a graveyard.

If we had lost, Chelsea F.C. fans would have filled the streets 🤣

Yet somehow, we’re the ones they call the noisy team.
