The 2023 school-based West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) will last for seven weeks, spanning May 8 to June 23.

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) announced this at a pre-examination press briefing Thursday in Lagos.

The Head of National Office, Patrick Areghan, noted in his remarks that a total of 1,621,853 candidates across 20,851 government and private schools registered for the examination.

The new development is coming as the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) is rounding off the 2023 edition of its entrance examinations into tertiary institutions.

JAMB conducts the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME) for admission seekers nationwide, and this year’s examination, which was scheduled to hold between April 25 and May 2, has been extended to Saturday, May 6, for candidates who missed the examination for genuine reasons.

Examination bodies in Nigeria, including WAEC, JAMB, and the National Examination Council (NECO), among others, have always compared notes to adjust their calendars to avoid clashes of activities.

Most times, the same candidates sit for different examinations, and the examination bodies have said it is good to protect their interests by avoiding clashes of timetables.
