Don’t Mess Around: WAEC Rules That Can Wipe Out Your Result

Look, WAEC isn’t playing. You mess up, they don’t just cancel one paper—they can wipe your entire result. Here’s what’ll get you into trouble:Bringing stuff into the hall: notes, phones, cheat papers—just don’t. You’ll lose that subject or everything.
Copying, switching papers or receiving help: Whole result gone.
Tearing your answer sheet, starting before time or shouting: You’re done for that subject.
Helping others cheat: One-year ban.
Whispering or passing notes: You and your “partner in crime” lose the paper.
Getting someone else to write for you (impersonation): Police might get involved. Two-year ban.
Posting live questions or answers online: No result. Centre staff caught? Police again.
Mass cheating (like half the class copying): Whole class fails that subject.
Registering in two centres: All results gone.
Fighting, using weapons or threatening exam staff: Banned and arrested.
Using pencil instead of pen, or breaking exam booklet rules: Paper cancelled.
Destroying proof of cheating: No result for you.


You’ve got the info now. No need to panic. Just take it one step at a time. Stay sharp, read smart and maybe avoid last-minute cramming this time (yeah, we’ve all done it). GCE doesn’t have to be a horror story—unless you ignore the rules.
