Now let’s first look at the selection process.

WAEC Examiner Selection Process

The WAEC selects examiners through a meticulous selection process, ensuring accuracy and consistency in marking. Normally, before the actual marking commences, an expert team will develop and structure a comprehensive marking guide, and it is mandatory for all appointed examiners to undergo training in the marking scheme through a simulated exercise.

Once the marking process commences, examiners work in small groups, supervised by Team Leaders, who oversee progress and adherence to guidelines, and Chief Examiners, who bring additional experience to the assessment process.

After the completion of the marking, WAEC employs checkers to verify examiner marks’ accuracy and ensure proper score transfer, demonstrating their commitment to maintaining the credibility of their examinations. This stage is very important.
