WAEC Timetable 2025 for School Candidates May/June

The clock’s ticking. And it’s louder now. WAEC has dropped the full 2025 May/June timetable. No whispers, no rumours. Just hard dates and early mornings. Whether you’re in Nigeria, Gambia, Liberia, or Sierra Leone, this timetable matters. Because between April and June, you’ll be tested on more than just knowledge. Timing, planning, stamina—those matter too.

So this is it. The roadmap from Thursday 24 April to Friday 20 June 2025. It’s long. It’s packed. It’s real. You’ll need to weave through practicals, essays, orals, objectives, performance tests and more. Not just read them—understand them. Because missing one detail might cost you a whole subject.

Let’s walk through what matters.

When Does WAEC 2025 Start?

WAEC exams kick off on Thursday, 24 April 2025, and run straight through till Friday, 20 June 2025. That’s two months of mental sprints, practical marathons, and everything in between.

But don’t get comfortable just knowing the start and end. Every single day between those dates holds weight. The first exam might be Foods and Nutrition; the last could be Physical Education, Woodwork, or Insurance.

The exam days are intense. Some will have three papers back-to-back. Others may give you a breather—but not enough to relax.

WAEC’s Quiet Rules That Catch People Off Guard

You’ve probably heard about what’s allowed and what’s banned in the exam hall. But some of WAEC’s instructions hide in the fine print.

1. Question Paper vs. Timetable? The Paper Wins

If there’s a clash between the paper’s instructions and the printed timetable, follow the paper.

2. Early Access to Questions – Yes, it’s a thing

Certain subjects are pre-loaded. Their questions are handed out days or weeks in advance:

• Visual Art 3A & 3B: Schools get instructions two weeks before.
• Block Laying & Concrete Work: Candidates receive questions three days early.
• Projects like Leatherwork and Dyeing: Delivered to candidates two weeks ahead.

So if your school tells you “we got the paper,” believe them. And prepare accordingly.

3. Special Timing for Special Needs

Blind, deaf, or mute candidates are granted 50% extra time. If a paper is 1 hour, they get 1 hour 30 minutes.

It’s not a favour. It’s WAEC policy.

Simple and Effective Exam Tips

Here are some clear tips that will help you perform well:

• Start revising early: Don’t leave your studying until the last minute.
• Use past questions: Practising past WAEC questions will help you get comfortable with exam patterns.
• Stay healthy: Eat well, get enough sleep, and take short breaks during revision to keep your mind sharp.
• Arrive early: Being early for exams reduces stress and gives you time to prepare mentally.

Forbidden Items – Don’t Let Them Ruin Your Exam

Even if your centre is lenient, WAEC isn’t. The rules are clear. These items are banned:

• Phones (yes, even if it’s off)
• Smartwatches
• Bluetooth devices
• Tablets
• Programmable calculators
• Any suspicious gadget

Caught with one? You’re out. No excuses.

Helpful Resources to Crush WAEC

Don’t just rely on your school notes. These materials will help you sharpen your edge:

• WAEC subject syllabi
• WAEC past questions with answers
• Sample WAEC marking schemes

Use them. They exist for a reason. If nothing else, they help you see how WAEC thinks.

Exam Survival Tips: Beyond Books

Success is never just about reading. Sometimes it’s about the small habits that build big results.

• Start early: Revision in February beats cramming in April
• Sleep properly: Groggy brains fail simple questions
• Eat well: Garri and groundnut might not cut it before a 3-hour paper
• Be punctual: Arriving 10 minutes late is basically arriving 40 minutes too late

So, What Now?

The timetable is out. You’ve seen it. Hopefully, not just skimmed it. The days are numbered, and every hour matters. Don’t just read the rules. Don’t just glance at dates. Sit with them. Highlight your subjects. Mark the double-paper days. Flag the ones where your name could disappear if you miss the practical.

This isn’t the time to guess. It’s time to get serious. WAEC doesn’t do second chances in the same year. You pass, or you repeat.

Your move.
