What are serialised papers in WAEC exams?

Serialised papers are examination question papers with the same set of questions but arranged in different orders for each candidate. This method is used to reduce cheating during exams.

What mistake did WAEC Nigeria make in the 2025 WASSCE?

WAEC Nigeria mismatched question numbers and answer keys during the marking of serialised papers. This caused correct answers to be marked as wrong, leading to mass failures and grading discrepancies.

Did WAEC Ghana use serialised papers in the 2025 BECE?

Yes. WAEC Ghana used serialised papers in subjects such as Religious and Moral Education and Science during the 2025 BECE.

How can WAEC Ghana avoid Nigeria’s mistakes?

WAEC Ghana can prevent similar marking errors by: Training examiners thoroughly on handling serialised papers; ensuring correct mapping of answer keys to question numbers; and conducting rigorous quality control checks before result release.

What would happen if WAEC Ghana makes marking errors?

Mistakes in marking could delay the BECE results release, disrupt the school placement process, reduce public trust, and affect thousands of students’ academic progression.
