WASSCE Liberia study guide

WASSCE Liberia · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.

The West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) is the school-leaving examination of the West African Examinations Council, which describes itself as West Africa's foremost examining board, established by law to determine the examinations required in the public interest in English-speaking West African countries, to conduct those examinations, and to award certificates comparable to those of equivalent examining authorities internationally. Liberia is one of the five countries listed on WAEC's site, alongside The Gambia, Ghana, Nigeria and Sierra Leone. The certificate is taken by senior secondary candidates and by private candidates who need it for university and college admission, employment, and professional or licensing routes. This study profile organises preparation around four core areas - English Language, Mathematics, Integrated Science and Social Studies - because candidates who fall short in these areas find that strong optional-subject grades cannot compensate for them. The WASSCE Liberia study guide has 4 sections and about 1,137 words.
