WAEC Releases Timetable For Resit Of Cancelled BECE Papers

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has released the final resit timetable for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) papers which were cancelled.

The WAEC cancelled five of the nine subject papers upon detection that the questions had leaked and gone viral on social media.

Candidates will therefore resit the five papers on Monday, June 29 and Tuesday, June 30.

English Language 2 (Essay) will be the first resit paper on Monday. It will start from 9am to 10am, followed by Integrated Science 2 (Essay) at 11:30am to 12:45pm.

The Religious and Moral Education 2 paper will also be written on Monday at 2pm to 3pm.

On Tuesday, candidates will write Mathematics 2 from 9am to 10am.

The Social Studies 2 and 1 paper will follow from 11:30am to 12:30pm.

According to WAEC, both papers are to be taken at one sitting without a break as usual.

Where the duration indicated on the question paper differs from that on the timetable, the one on the question paper will be followed.

With regards to extra time for blind, deaf and dumb candidates, they would be allowed one and half times the time allotted to other candidates.
