Start with a familiar subject. Pick the most recent year available and download the question paper. Print it or view digitallyβwhatever helps you focus better.

Start Practicing βFrequently Asked Questions
How many past papers should I solve?
Ideally 5-10 papers per subject. Start solving them 8-12 weeks before exams. Quality over quantityβunderstand every wrong answer.
Are older past papers (2022-2023) still useful?
Yes! Question patterns and topics repeat. WAEC exams are very consistent year to year. Use older papers to build breadth of practice.
Should I memorize answers or understand concepts?
Always prioritize understanding. WAEC occasionally tweaks questions, so conceptual knowledge beats memorization. You'll adapt to new variations more easily.
What if I'm scoring low on past papers?
Don't panic. This is why you practice early. Return to our subject guides, identify concept gaps, then retry the paper after learning. Improvement is your goal, not initial perfection.
When should I stop doing past papers and start final revision?
1-2 weeks before exams, shift to reviewing weak topics and formula review. Last past paper should be 2-3 weeks before your exam date.
