Because the ideas have always been the same. The aspects of life on which the examiners base their WAEC English essay past questions remain almost unchanged.

In another post on this site, I share with you the secrets behind how the guys at WAEC set their essay questions.

Resource List

We go through great lengths to provide the best resources for students preparing for the WASSCE and below are links to some of our popular WASSCE resources which can be very useful in preparing for the WAEC exam.

If you’re not interested in reading other important information on this page, then use the first link below to navigate to the WASSCE Past Questions section on this page.

Brief Information About The WASSCE

The West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) is a standardised test taken in Anglophone West African countries, namely: Ghana, Liberia, Gambia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone. It is administered by The West African Examination Council(WAEC) and is usually taken by students who wish to proceed to the University in their country or abroad.

The WASSCE is written 3 times a year ( January/February, May/June November/December) and tests candidates according to the topics on the WAEC syllabus.

The content in each WASSCE paper (for a specific subject and year) is usually the same from one Anglophone West African country to another. Questions on the WASSCE theory section may be specified to be answered by candidates from a particular country.

A WASSCE question paper on a particular subject may be entirely cancelled and changed in a region when the West African Examination Council (WAEC) heading that region suspects a leakage of examination papers before the start of the exam or for other reasons.

WAEC sets WASSCE questions following its guidelines on the WASSCE Syllabus . The WASSCE Syllabus is usually the same from one country to another so don’t worry if the paper is from Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Liberia or Gambia.

Are WAEC Past Questions Important?

Footballers, bodybuilders, teachers, doctors, etc., perform regular practise to improve in their profession. Therefore, students who wish to prepare for the WASSCE need to practise with actual questions that have been asked on the WASSCE.

The WASSCE / WAEC past questions on this page and other WASSCE prep materials on Larnedu are meant to help students achieve the grades of their dreams.

Key Benefits Of Regular WASSCE Practise

Speed: It’s no secret that there are almost no new/original question on the WASSCE as similar questions or exact-match have repeated throughout history. Therefore, regular practise of our WASSCE past questions makes you familiar with most question types hence making you faster on the exam day. This can give you enough time to review your work.

Exposure: Regular practise exposes you to your weaknesses and gives you a chance to improve before the exam.

Decreases chances of exam anxiety: Regular and efficient practise improves your confidence before the exam.

Nothing is guaranteed in life, but an attitude of regular practise can go a long way in increasing your probability of passing the WASSCE in flying colours.

Students often cram before a test, but the research shows distributed practise, studying over many sessions, results in better long-term retention, the researchers write. And while most students see testing as an undesirable necessity of education, the fact is that testing also improves learning. Practice testing may work through a number of mechanisms. When students retrieve target information, their related knowledge is activated. Practice testing may also help students organize information. “One concern here is that students who do well in earlier grades, in which learning is largely supervised, may struggle later, when they are expected to regulate much of their own learning, such as in high school or college,” write the researchers. “Teaching students to use these techniques would not take much time away from teaching content and would likely be most beneficial if the use of the techniques was consistently taught across multiple content areas, so that students could broadly experience their effects on learning and class grades.” http://www.ernweb.com/educational-research-articles/learning-techniques-effective-study/ ErnWeb.com

Understanding WAEC Examination

If you are a student in West Africa, you are probably familiar with the West African Examination Council (WAEC). WAEC is responsible for conducting and administering the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) which is taken by students in their final year of secondary school. The SSCE is a standardized test taken in Anglophone West African countries, including Ghana, Liberia, Gambia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone.

The SSCE is divided into two categories: the May/June examination and the November/December examination. The May/June examination is taken by students in their final year of secondary school, while the November/December examination is taken by private candidates who were unable to take the May/June examination.

The examination is divided into two parts: the theory examination and the practical examination. The theory examination is a written test that assesses the student’s knowledge of the subject, while the practical examination assesses the student’s ability to apply their knowledge in practical situations.

The SSCE covers a wide range of subjects, including English Language, Mathematics, and three or four other subjects chosen by the student. The examination is designed to test the student’s knowledge and understanding of the subject matter, as well as their ability to apply that knowledge in practical situations.

It is important for students to prepare adequately for the SSCE by studying past questions and answers. Past questions and answers provide students with an idea of what to expect on the examination and help them to identify areas where they need to focus their studies. There are many resources available online where students can access past questions and answers, including the WAEC website and other educational websites.

How to Effectively Use Past Questions

If you’re preparing for the WAEC exam, past questions and answers are an excellent resource to help you study effectively. Here are some tips on how to use them:

1. Identify Your Weaknesses

Before you start using past questions, it’s important to identify your weaknesses . Look through your notes and try to figure out which topics you struggle with the most. This will help you focus your study efforts and make the most of your time.

2. Practice Regularly

Once you’ve identified your weaknesses, it’s time to start practicing. Set aside some time each day to work through past questions and answers. This will help you get used to the format of the exam and improve your speed and accuracy.

3. Analyze Your Answers

After you’ve completed a set of past questions, take the time to analyze your answers. Look for patterns in your mistakes and try to figure out why you got certain questions wrong. This will help you avoid making the same mistakes in the future.

4. Create a Study Plan

To make the most of your time, create a study plan that incorporates past questions and answers. Set aside specific times each day to work through them, and make sure to focus on your weaknesses.

5. Use Them as a Diagnostic Tool

Past questions and answers can also be used as a diagnostic tool. If you consistently struggle with certain types of questions, it may be a sign that you need to go back and review that topic in more detail.

By using past questions and answers effectively, you can improve your chances of success on the WAEC exam.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

When it comes to preparing for WAEC exams, there are some common mistakes that students make that can negatively impact their performance. Here are some of the most common mistakes to avoid:

1. Not Starting Early Enough

One of the biggest mistakes that students make is not starting to prepare early enough. It’s important to give yourself enough time to cover all of the material that will be on the exam. Waiting until the last minute to start studying can lead to a lack of preparation and poor performance on the exam.

2. Focusing Only on Past Questions

While it’s important to practice with past questions, focusing solely on them can be a mistake. The exam can cover a wide range of topics, and relying only on past questions can leave you unprepared for questions that are not covered in the past questions.

3. Not Covering the Entire Syllabus

Another mistake that students make is not covering the entire syllabus. It’s important to make sure that you have covered all of the topics that could be on the exam. Leaving out certain topics can lead to missed questions and a lower score.

4. Not Managing Time Effectively

Time management is crucial when it comes to the WAEC exam. You need to make sure that you have enough time to answer all of the questions on the exam. Failing to manage your time effectively can lead to missed questions and a lower score.

5. Not Taking Care of Your Health

It’s important to take care of your health during the exam period. Lack of sleep, poor diet, and stress can all negatively impact your performance on the exam. Make sure to get enough sleep, eat a healthy diet, and take breaks when needed to help ensure that you are at your best on exam day.

By avoiding these common mistakes, you can increase your chances of success on the WAEC exam. Start early, cover the entire syllabus, manage your time effectively, and take care of your health. With proper preparation and a clear mind, you can achieve your desired score.

Once upon a time, in a quaint little village nestled amidst rolling hills, lived a humble baker named Alfred. Alfred was known far and wide for his exquisite bread-making skills and his genuine love for his craft. Every day, he would wake up at the crack of dawn, meticulously knead the dough, and bake the most mouthwatering loaves of bread the villagers had ever tasted.

One sunny morning, as Alfred began his usual routine, he realized to his dismay that his pantry was nearly bare. The flour, the main ingredient for his delectable bread, was running dangerously low. Panic surged through his veins as he contemplated the thought of disappointing his loyal customers by having to close his shop for the day.

With a heavy heart, Alfred decided to take a stroll through the village, hoping to find someone who could spare him some flour. He knocked on every door, but to his dismay, everyone seemed to be facing the same shortage. As he wandered the village streets, he noticed a peculiar sight—a young girl named Lily sitting on a bench, holding a half-eaten loaf of bread.

Curiosity piqued, Alfred approached the girl and kindly asked her about the bread. Lily explained that her family was going through tough times, and they could only afford to buy half a loaf of bread. With a sympathetic smile, Alfred shared his predicament, explaining his shortage of flour and his fear of disappointing his customers.

Without hesitation, Lily’s face lit up with an idea. She offered Alfred the half loaf of bread, suggesting that he could slice it, toast it, and sell it as a breakfast option to those who couldn’t afford a whole loaf. Intrigued by the young girl’s wisdom, Alfred agreed and thanked her for her ingenious suggestion.

Alfred hurried back to his bakery, his spirits lifted by the prospect of providing something rather than nothing to his customers. He meticulously sliced the half loaf into thin pieces, carefully toasted them until they turned a beautiful golden brown. As the aroma of freshly toasted bread wafted through the air, the villagers’ curiosity drew them to the bakery.

Word quickly spread throughout the village that Alfred had created a new breakfast option, and the villagers flocked to his shop, eager to try it. To their delight, the toasted bread was a huge hit. The villagers praised Alfred’s ingenuity and commended him for making the best out of a challenging situation. The half loaf that Lily had offered turned out to be a saving grace, not only for Alfred but also for the villagers who could now enjoy a delicious breakfast despite the scarcity of resources.

Days turned into weeks, and weeks turned into months. The village gradually emerged from its difficult times, and Alfred’s bakery flourished once again. As a gesture of gratitude, Alfred decided to share a portion of his profits with Lily’s family, ensuring that they, too, could enjoy the fruits of their ingenuity and generosity.

The saying “Half a loaf is better than none” resonated deeply with the villagers and became a constant reminder of the power of making the best out of any situation. Alfred, Lily, and the entire village learned that even in times of scarcity, a little ingenuity, resourcefulness, and a generous heart can transform half a loaf into a gift that nourishes both the body and the spirit.

THE IMPORTANCE OF REVIVING THE ACTIVITIES OF CLUBS AND SOCIETIES IN SCHOOLS

The school experience is more than just academics. It is also about discovering new interests, making friends and learning valuable life skills. Joining clubs and societies in school can help students achieve all of these things and more. However, in recent years, the number of students participating in these extracurricular activities has decreased. This article will discuss the importance of reviving the activities of clubs and societies in schools.

Firstly, clubs and societies provide a platform for students to explore their interests beyond academics. Students can join a club or society based on their hobbies, talents or passion. For instance, a student interested in photography can join the photography club, while a student who loves music can join the music club. Being part of a club or society allows students to meet like-minded individuals, share ideas and broaden their knowledge. By participating in these activities, students can discover their hidden talents and develop skills that can be useful in their future careers.

Secondly, clubs and societies help students develop social skills and build friendships. Students who join clubs and societies are often exposed to a diverse group of people. This helps them to learn how to interact with others who have different backgrounds or personalities. Being part of a club or society also gives students a sense of belonging and community. They can make new friends, share experiences and create memories that will last a lifetime.

Thirdly, participating in clubs and societies can help students develop important life skills such as leadership, teamwork, and time management. Clubs and societies often have officers and leaders who are responsible for organizing activities, managing resources and leading meetings. By taking on these roles, students can improve their leadership skills and learn how to work effectively as a team. They can also learn how to manage their time and prioritize tasks, which is an essential skill for success in any field.

Lastly, being part of a club or society can help students stand out when applying for college or jobs. Colleges and employers are often interested in applicants who have demonstrated leadership skills, teamwork and a commitment to extracurricular activities. By participating in clubs and societies, students can showcase their skills and experience, which can give them an advantage over other applicants.

In conclusion, reviving the activities of clubs and societies in schools is crucial for the overall development of students. These extracurricular activities provide a platform for students to explore their interests, develop social skills, build friendships, and acquire important life skills. It is important for schools to encourage students to participate in clubs and societies and provide the necessary resources and support to make these activities successful. By doing so, schools can create a vibrant and engaging environment that will benefit students both academically and personally.

CONCERNS OVER THE LACK OF MAINTENANCE OF PUBLIC FACILITIES

I write to express my deep concern regarding the persisting issue of the neglect and inadequate maintenance of public facilities across our nation. It is disheartening to witness the sorry state of these essential assets that are meant to serve the public, and I believe it is high time we address this pressing matter.

First and foremost, the neglect of public facilities has a significant impact on the quality of life for citizens. Parks, playgrounds, community centers, and other public spaces are meant to foster a sense of community and provide recreational opportunities for individuals of all ages. However, due to the lack of maintenance, these facilities have become dilapidated, unsafe, and unsightly, discouraging their use and depriving people of valuable spaces for leisure and social interaction.

Moreover, the deterioration of public facilities poses potential risks to public health and safety. Crumbling infrastructure, broken equipment, and unkempt surroundings can create hazardous conditions, leading to accidents and injuries. The lack of regular inspections, repairs, and upgrades further exacerbates the risks, making it imperative for authorities to take immediate action to ensure the well-being of the public.

Furthermore, the neglect of public facilities sends a discouraging message about our society’s priorities. Public spaces are a reflection of our collective values and commitment to the well-being of our communities. When these spaces are allowed to decay, it conveys a lack of concern and respect for public resources and undermines the sense of civic pride. It is essential that we preserve and enhance these spaces, as they contribute to the overall development and happiness of our citizens.

To address this issue, a collaborative effort between government bodies, local communities, and concerned citizens is crucial. Firstly, adequate funding must be allocated to support regular maintenance and upgrades of public facilities. This can be achieved through budgetary allocations, public-private partnerships, and community-driven initiatives. Additionally, it is vital to establish a comprehensive system for regular inspections and maintenance, ensuring that repairs are promptly undertaken and preventive measures are implemented.

Furthermore, citizen engagement plays a pivotal role in maintaining public facilities. Encouraging community participation through volunteer programs, awareness campaigns, and partnerships with local organizations can foster a sense of ownership and responsibility among citizens, leading to better maintenance and utilization of these spaces.

In conclusion, the lack of maintenance of public facilities is a pressing concern that demands immediate attention. By recognizing the importance of these spaces, allocating adequate resources, and promoting community involvement, we can restore and revitalize our public facilities, creating environments that enhance the quality of life and strengthen the social fabric of our nation.

Yours sincerely,

SECTION B COMPREHENSION [20 marks] You are advised to spend about  30 minutes  on this section.

6.  Read the following passage  carefully  and answer the questions on it.

Our planet is at risk. Our environment is under threat. The air we breathe, the water we drink, the seas we fish in, and soils we farm, the forests, animals and plants which surround us are in danger.

New terms and words describe these problems: acid rain, the greenhouse effect, global warming, holes in the ozone layer, desertification and industrial pollution. We are changing our environment. More and more gases and waste escape from our factories.

Rubbish, oil silages and detergents damage our rivers and seas. Forests give us timber and paper, but their loss results in soil erosion and also endangers wildlife.

The richer countries of the world are mainly responsible for industrial pollution. This is where most of all the commercial energy is produced. In developing countries, poverty cause people to change their environment, to overgraze grassland, to cut down trees for new land and firewood, to farm poor soil for food.

The United Nations Environmental Protection Agency says that an area of forest the size of Sierra Leone disappears every year. Trees are cut down for timber which is used for building, furniture, paper and fuel.

They are also destroyed to provide land on which to graze animals and build new villages and towns. But trees have many other important uses. Trees protect the land from heavy downpour of rain and their roots help to hold the soil together.

Forests are also the home of many living things. The Amazon forest contains one fifth of all the species of birds in the world. In our forests, there may be plants and animals which could help in the discovery of new medicines of crops.

To rescue and conserve our beautiful world, we must act cooperatively. Individuals, communities, nations and international associations, all have the responsibility. By learning to protect the natural environment, we can manage the earth’s resources for generations to come.

(a)  The risk referred to in the passage is of what origin? (b)  From the passage, it can be deduced that the inhabitants of developing countries ______ (c)  According to the passage, the size of forest depleted ______ annually. (d)  The writer holds the richer countries responsible for industrial pollution because of their what? (e)  The message of the writer of the passage is the need for what?

SECTION C (SUMMARY) [30 MARKS] You are advised to spend about 50 minutes on this section.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions on it. You cannot expect to go through life without meeting problems. Difficulties, perplexities and frustrations are an inevitable part of human experience.

Accepting this idea of the inevitability of problems will help you to approach them in a robust frame of mind rather than thinking that you are a victim specially singled out by malignant fate.

When confronted with a problem, the first thing to do is gather all relevant data to get acquainted with the facts of the case.

Then write down exactly what the problem is, stating it simply in black and white. This gives you something definite with which to come to terms. The problem is assessed and you will now have something concrete to deal with. Next, give serious thought to the problem, making sure that such thought does not degenerate into worry as worry accomplishes nothing. Aim at clear, dispassionate thought, viewing the problem as if it were a friend’s and not your own. Look at it from all angles and from the point of view of all concerned.

You court disaster if you are entirely selfish in your outlook. The single important purpose of all this is to discover all possible solutions to the problem.

Having examined the problem broadly and impartially, carefully examine all the possible solutions or courses of action. The knowledge that you have done this will keep you from useless regrets later, when you can remind yourself that all courses of action were examined and you chose what appeared to be the best. Next, eliminate all proposed solutions which are seen on further thought to be impracticable.

You will now find that your list has been whittled down to two or three possibilities. At this stage it is often a good plan to get out into the open air. Go for a walk or a ride, preferably somewhere with wide horizons. There, out in the open, review the problem afresh. You will find it appears less formidable.

Ask yourself how the difficulty will appear in ten years’ time or even one! This fresh review will enable you to make a final choice as you turn to the remaining solutions and, before you return home, decide which one you are going to adopt. As you go to sleep that night, let your last thoughts be upon your decision. If, in the morning, you still feel it is the best one to take, go ahead.

If you have a friend who is capable of giving sound advice, consult him. Do this before your final decision, so that you will have the benefit of his views before you decide. Talking things over with another is always a great help.

It enables you to isolate the problem and to decide which on which factors are important. Even if the friend offers no advice, a sympathetic ear will help you. Furthermore, as you describe to your friend the courses open to you, you will see them in clearer light. Some will appear impossible even as you speak.

Alternatively, one will appear most attractive. In dealing with problems, remember the time factor. Although some problems solve themselves in time, and delaying tactics is therefore the best form of action for them, most other problems generally get more complicated the longer they are left. You should, therefore, get to grips with the problems immediately they occur.

All told, reasonable foresight and imagination can prevent many problems ever arising. Tact, thoughtfulness and responsible conduct can also keep life largely problem-free.

In six sentences, one for each, summarize the steps to be taken when faced with a problem and

7. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions on it.

Armed robbery is one of the most condemnable crimes in the contemporary society. People have been maimed or killed for their money or belongings in the past, but never has robbery with VIolence been experienced on such a large Scale as observed recently. Armed robbery is typically motivated by the desire to obtain money and valuables. However, some armed robbers engage in the crime with the intention of boosting their status. Whatever the motivation, the act is inhumane and can result in injury and sometimes the death of the victims. It is rather unfortunate that in almost all modern societies there are always

groups of unemployed young people. Some are unemployed because they have little or no education and lack skills. What is even worse, these young people are often unprepared for and unwilling to do any manual work to earn an honest living. They tend to blame society for their plight and retaliate by indulging in acts of crime and lawlessness. They grab money and valuable properties of their victim to enable them to survive in a society which seems to ignore them. To reduce the instances of armed robbery parents should do their best to nurture their children in the right way because charity begins at home. They should instill good values in them and should not hesitate to correct them early in life when they bring home something that does not belong to them. The rich on the other hand, who are mostly the target of armed robbers, provide another cause. Some show off their wealth ostentatiously, live flamboyantly, go about in flashy and sophisticated cars, shop from one exotic island to another on holidays, and brag about all their escapades on social media much to the annoyance and envy of the unemployed youth. To bridge the gap between the haves and the have-nots, the government should provide the necessities for its citizens. Social services should be made available to those without jobs. The proVision of such amenities to cater for the entire populace would help to improve the living conditions of the unemployed and underdeveloped. The adequate provision of infrastructure would ensure that every individual has access to the basic comforts of life.

The breakdown of traditional systems. resulting in loss of moral and spiritual values, has made wealth the only thing of value in the eyes of the youth. The ostentatious display of ill-gotten wealth is applauded and the society hardly questions its source. Many young people therefore engage in all manner of nefarious activities including armed robbery to make money in order to enjoy the delight and comforts of modem life and above all, be celebrated by their society. Law enforcement authorities can further reduce the spate of armed robberies by monitoring places known for high incidence of the crime. Constant and intrusive patrols of crime-prone areas can deter potential offenders.

(a) In three sentences, one for each, Summarize the factors that make some youths go into armed robbery. (b) In three sentences, one for each, summarize how armed robbery can be reduced.
