WAEC GCE Timetable 2025 Secon Series (Nov/Dec)

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has officially released the WAEC GCE Timetable 2025 Second Series for private candidates. This year’s examination is unique as it will be the first WAEC GCE ever to be conducted using the Computer-Based Test (CBT) method.

According to WAEC, the exam will begin on Friday, October 24, 2025, and end on Thursday, December 18, 2025. All candidates are therefore advised to take note of their subject schedules and prepare adequately ahead of time.

Who Can Write the WAEC GCE Second Series 2025?

The WAEC GCE Second Series is designed for individuals who wish to sit for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) privately. It is ideal for:

School leavers who want to improve on their previous WAEC results.

Workers or adults who couldn’t sit for WAEC while in secondary school.

Private learners or self-taught students who prefer to study outside a traditional classroom environment.

The WAEC GCE certificate is the same as that awarded to school candidates and is accepted by universities, polytechnics, and employers across Nigeria and other West African countries.

About the 2025 WAEC GCE CBT Format

For the first time in history, the West African Examinations Council will conduct its GCE Second Series using a Computer-Based Testing system. This means all sections, objective, essay, and test of orals will be taken on a computer under strict supervision.

WAEC has stated that this transition to CBT is aimed at improving exam integrity, reducing malpractice, and aligning with global assessment standards. Candidates are therefore encouraged to familiarize themselves with the CBT environment before the exam date.
