For the sake of this article, I will explain how Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology are marked.

Mathematics

A candidate asked – will I pass if I answered 3 out of 5 questions in WAEC mathematics theory? SSCE mathematics comprises of 50 objective and 13 theory questions.

The theory questions are divided into part I and Part II.

You are to answer ten questions in mathematics theory; all the questions in Part I and five questions in Part II.

The objective questions take 40% of the total mark while the theory makes the remaining 60%. Therefore, for you to score A, you must answer 40 correct questions in the objective and at least 8 in theory.

To pass WAEC Chemistry, Physics and Biology are easy if you understand what I am about to explain. These three subjects have practical, objective, and theory section.

The practical section takes 35% of the mark, the 50 objective questions take 25%, and the theory makes the remaining 40%. So it means that if you want to pass these subjects, you must do the theory, the practical, and objective well in that order.

English Language There are 160 objective questions (oral English included) and the theory (comprehension, essay writing). The objective section – 40% The theory section – 60%
