About WAEC Resit
WAEC Resit has no different from the WAEC GCE first series exam that Nigerian candidates used to write in the beginning of every year ( i.e: January/February). Its an option for school candidates who fail to pass all the required subjects during their formal schooling are not expected to rewrite the entire exam. Instead, they can register for the private candidate exam, where they can register only the specific subjects they failed.
