Is GCE Harder Than WAEC?
One the big question, which one is easier to pass, is it waec or GCEbasedse on experience and from oun point of view, we are going to tell you what we think about the issue.
First, one of the reasons why the GCE was organized in the first place is to help some people who finished secondary school without a good result, so instead of going back to rewrite the exam, you will just carry register for GCE and get the same certificate.
The only difference is that WAEC is called O’Level while the GCE is better called A’Level or advanced level.
For someone that had done waec before, it will not be hard for them, if you are rewriting that same year but for those that have stayed long before going for the Exam, it might be hard for them.
In our former post, we talked about WAEC questions always being tricky even if it is simple people will always see them as hard questions.
With all that said, it will be wise to say that GCE is harder than WAEC not minding the fact that WAEC I tricky.
GCE is always hard but also has the Same grading system as WAEC.
