Before you sit it

How WAEC Physics is set.

West African Examinations Council (WASSCE) sets 50 questions in Physics, answered in 120 minutes β€” about 144 seconds a question. Practising against that clock is the part most candidates skip, and it is the part that costs marks.

We hold 237 published Physics questions spanning 2021 to 2025. You can practise any single year’s paper, or sit a full timed mock that mirrors the real interface β€” the navigator, the flags and the auto-submit included.

Every question you get wrong comes back the next day, then at longer gaps until it sticks, and your home page leads with your weakest subjects.
