The selection process for WAEC examiners is meticulous and structured to ensure accuracy and consistency in marking.

All appointed examiners undergo thorough training in all aspects of the marking scheme through a simulated exercise known as co-ordination. This exercise ensures that examiners are well-versed in the marking requirements before they start assessing scripts.

During the marking process, examiners work in small groups, supervised by experienced Team Leaders. The Team Leaders oversee the marking progress and adherence to guidelines. These Team Leaders, in turn, are overseen by Chief Examiners, who bring further experience to the assessment process.

Upon the completion of marking, WAEC employs Checkers to verify the accuracy of marks awarded by examiners and ensure the proper transfer of scores to score sheets. This meticulous process underscores WAEC’s commitment to maintaining the credibility of its examinations.
