WAEC GCE 2nd Series 2025: Complete CBT Timetable Released

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has released the official timetable for the 2025 GCE Second Series examinations, marking a historic shift as WAEC introduces Computer-Based Testing (CBT) for the first time in this examination series.

Examination Period

The WAEC GCE 2nd Series CBT examinations will run from Friday, 24th October 2025 through Thursday, 18th December 2025. This represents a significant departure from the traditional paper-based format that candidates have been accustomed to over the years.

Historic CBT Format

This examination marks the first time WAEC is conducting its GCE examinations via Computer-Based Testing. The transition aims to enhance the examination process, reduce malpractice, and provide faster result processing for candidates.

How to Access Your Timetable

All registered candidates can access the CBT timetable through official WAEC channels. However, candidates are strongly advised to download their personalized timetables from their individual portals rather than relying solely on the general timetable, as examination schedules may vary based on centre allocations.

Preparation Tips

Given the new CBT format, candidates should familiarize themselves with computer-based testing environments before the examination. Practice with CBT software and past questions to build confidence with the digital testing interface.

Important Notes

• Download your personalized timetable from your WAEC portal
• Ensure stable internet connection when accessing timetable files
• Practice with CBT mock tests before your actual examination
• Arrive at your examination centre early to complete biometric verification

Candidates experiencing difficulties accessing the timetable should try using a stable WiFi connection or contact WAEC support for assistance.
