WAEC Rules You Must Follow
WAEC has strict exam rules. Violating them can cost you a subject — or your entire result. Read these carefully.
What Will Get You Disqualified
- Bringing notes, phones, or papers into the hall
- Copying or switching scripts
- Starting early, ending late, or causing disruptions
- Helping others cheat (even whispering)
- Registering in more than one centre
- Allowing someone else to write for you (impersonation)
- Tearing answer booklets or ignoring instructions
- Using pen where pencil is needed or vice versa
- Sharing questions or answers online during exams
- Mass cheating or organized malpractice
- Threatening or fighting exam officials
Tip: If WAEC cancels a subject, it means only that subject is lost. If they cancel everything, your entire result is gone.
