“The examination will adopt the hybrid mode of delivering the examination, which implies that the objective or multiple-choice questions would be rendered onscreen and candidates would be required to give their responses on the screen, while the essay and practical questions will be rendered on-screen, likewise, but candidates would have to give their responses using the answer booklets provided,” a WAEC spokesperson, Adesina Fadekemi, said.

Meanwhile, the examination diet has provided an option for candidates who wish to use Paper and Pen mode, for the whole examination papers.
