Very often, tertiary institutions such as the universities admit students who obtain grades better than C6. Thus grades between A1  – C5 are preferred. Students who want to make the grades must work hard, see the exams as a boxing competition, and enter the ring with their 2020 WASSCE grading system in their hands.

Students who will sit for the 2020 WASSCE must work hard to make the all-important grades to merit entry into any tertiary institution.

Preparation toward the WASSCE 2020 exams has not been easy as COVID-19 led to its postponement. This has surely impacted the students as many might have wished the exams were taken earlier however, it is better late than never. We challenge all WASSCE students to go out and do their best when the exams start on Monday, July 20th 2020 across the country.

All students, invigilators and stakeholders must be safety conscious and obey all the COVID-19 safety protocols fully. The GES and WAEC must also play their roles in ensuring the needed PPEs are supplied and on time.

Sad to say that the probability that examination leakages will occur is high. But we must all do our best to report such issues and expect WAEC to act when such news is broken.
