Important Notes

Discrepancy in Timing Between Question Paper and Timetable:
- If there is a difference in the duration indicated on the question paper compared to the timetable, the time specified on the question paper should be followed.
Distribution of Question Papers Prior to Exam Dates:
- Visual Art:
  - Paper 3A: Instructions will be provided to schools two weeks before the examination date.
  - Paper 3B: Question papers will be distributed to candidates two weeks prior to the exam.
  - Paper 3C: Candidates are required to complete their projects within six months of the examination year. The submission deadline for art pieces will be communicated by the Council.
- Block Laying, Bricklaying and Concrete Works 3 (Practical):
  - Question papers will be issued to candidates three days before the examination.
- Project Work Papers:
  - Question papers for project work in Painting & Decorating, Dyeing & Bleaching, and Leather Goods Manufacturing & Repair will be sent to candidates two weeks before the exam. Schools will inform candidates of the exact delivery dates.
Additional Time for Candidates with Special Needs (Blind, Deaf, and Mute):
- Candidates with special needs are entitled to one and a half times the duration allotted to other candidates.

Navigating Through the Timetable

Begin Early: With the timetable in hand, starting your revision early cannot be overstressed. Early preparation allows for a thorough understanding of each subject, reducing pre-exam stress.
Plan Your Study: Use the timetable to create a study schedule that covers all subjects adequately. Pay special attention to subjects you find challenging.
Practice and More Practice: Past papers, practical exercises, and sample questions are invaluable in preparing for the WASSCE. They familiarize you with the exam format and question styles.
