NECO SSCE study guide
NECO SSCE · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) is the school-leaving examination conducted by the National Examinations Council (NECO), one of the examinations the Council lists under its mandate. The Internal SSCE is taken by candidates at the end of their secondary school education; the External SSCE exists for candidates who have already attempted the examination and have deficiency(ies) to make up. Candidates should treat the SSCE as a multi-subject credential: it is not a single paper, and results are reported subject by subject, so your preparation plan should be built around the subjects you register for rather than one syllabus. NECO also states that the examination can be taken digitally through its Computer Based Test (CBT) platform, and that digital exams are now available for candidates in the United Kingdom. Topics on this exam: Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE), Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), and National Common Entrance Examination (NCEE). The NECO SSCE study guide has 3 sections and about 1,047 words.
