WAEC Rules You Should Not Ignore

Break the rules, lose your results. Some mistakes are simple, but WAEC won’t take them lightly.

What Will Get You Disqualified

1. Smuggling items into the hall: Papers, notes, phones or gadgets? You’ll lose your subject or all results.
2. Double scripts or cheating: Copying, switching papers or getting help from others will cancel your entire results.
3. Ripping answer sheets or starting early, ending late or causing noise? You risk losing that subject.
4. Helping others cheat: One-year ban.
5. Passing notes or whispering answers: You and the person you helped will lose the subject.
6. Impersonation: That’s arrest-worthy. Two-year ban if caught. Both you and your stand-in.
7. If WAEC suspects foreknowledge: Everyone involved can lose their results. Schools or centres could be blacklisted.
8. Mass cheating (half the class caught): All lose the subject.
9. Fighting, insulting exam staff, or using weapons: Two-year ban and arrest.
10. Using pencil where pen is needed or ignoring booklet rules: Subject result cancelled.
11. Registering in two centres: All your results gone.
12. Destroying evidence of cheating: Same result — cancelled.
13. Posting live questions or answers online: Goodbye results. Officials involved? They’ll face the police.

Tip: Losing a subject means that subject alone is cancelled. Losing everything means your entire effort is wiped out.
