Secrets of making A1 waec grades in all your subjects?

 

In this second part of the article, we will be looking at how to score A1 in all subjects in the waec exams.

I will be exposing the secrets that most of the top-performing students in every waec exams us to score the top grades in the Waec Grading System.

Now, just to be clear…

WAEC grades can have a very significant impact on your post-secondary school academics, especially because your grades determine your chances of gaining admission. Professional courses like Medicine, law, pharmacy and engineering will require a lot of ‘As’ in most subjects. Even highly-sought universities like the University of Illorin, the University of Lagos, University of Ibadan use waec grade as a way of screening students.

So, it’s important for you to do very well in your waec and score ‘As’ if you want to get into your dream university and study your dream course without hassle.

Without further hassle, let’s analysis some of the secrets of getting an excellent grade in all subjects in waec:

  • Ensure you concentrate and focus in class in the last few months preceding the WAEC examinations. It is the most effective way of improving on the knowledge you have gathered so far and been adequately prepared. Avoid all forms of distractions or truancy. Not showing up in class might cause you to miss out on some vital information that will most certainly show up during the exam day.
  • There’s nothing better than jotting down vital details. It will help you retain whatever you are learning better. Always have the habit of taking notes in class as it will help in your studying process and preparation.
  • Make sure you prepare daily. Don’t give chance for frivolous or distractive activities. Always be occupied with studying. Read past questions at home and critically analysis them with your friends, it will help you gain valuable insight. There are always some questions that waec always repeat yearly. Have a study time table to help you study consistently.
  • A great secret of high performance in waec examination is the use of a study aid called mnemonics. It is a memory trick and learning technique that can help you remember some areas in your notes such as types, categories, examples and functions. Be careful not be mix them up when mastering them. Mnemonics are exceedingly helpful in science-based subjects like mathematics, physics and chemistry.
  • I have already emphasized the value of past questions. Past questions will assist you in understanding the question pattern of the examination bodies, it will help you to know what to expect. It is a great way of being prepared. Waec past question will also allow you to know your area of weakness so you can figure out how to prepare. You can get free past questions here.

The most important thing to note is that failure to prepare means preparing to fail. What separates the high-performing waec student from his counterpart is adequate preparation and intense studying.

I would love you to please me understand how WAEC grades.
