Please Note that Physics will be written on ~~Wednesday 8th May, 2020~~.

Let us keep the ball rolling.

As this period sets in, there has been so much seriousness in the mind of every WAEC 2020 candidate.

This is as a result of the upcoming West African Examination that is about to commence.

Every person writing WAEC needs serious guidance at this time because no man knows it all.

This is an examination that is being conducted in all Schools in Nigeria, therefore, it is always an important time in the lives of SS3 students.

Due to this fact...

There have been so many queries on this blog, asking us to provide them with guides and some Past questions and answers on Physics that will be set by WAEC.

In response to these questions...

We in Schoolsniger have decided to create this page in order to help all applicants in passing their examination with good grades without any stress.

As a note, below is the report about Last year's Physics examination.

They have also given candidates weakness and suggested some remedies to help them improve in 2020 May/June exams.

How to prepare for WAEC Physics Essay & OBJ Exam 2020? - Question & Answer

Before we go on to give you the Questions and answers on WAEC Physics...

let us first of all guide you on how you can prepare and pass with good scores and As.

Passing this subject is very simple.

It all depends on how you will see because what we understand here is that WAEC is not setting the questions so that candidates will not have the answers.

What we mean is that they are not hard.

You simply need to follow the tips given below and everything will go straight throughout this period of WAEC.

#1: Put God First

Everything one has in life has been pre-destined for one to have. Nothing happens by chance...

you need to recognise your creator and giver in everything you want to do.

Put God at the top of your priority while preparing for WAEC Physics Answers.

He can do all things.

Have you ever heard someone complaining of not remembering what he or she read in the test hall?

Has it ever occurred to you?

If yes, then,

the solution to this is for you to recognise your creator and tell him that you've handed everything into his hands.

#2: Set up your Reading timetable and Study Extensively

Once you have prayed to God...

the next thing is to start reading immediately.

Laziness is not a friend to anyone at all.

How do you start your reading?

The first thing to do is to schedule your time, that is, prepare a timetable for your studies.

You must make sure that it favours you and that you'll not miss it for anything.

Whether it is at night or day time,

the most important aspect is to schedule when you are free.

Once you're done with that...

begin reading work very seriously.

Look for the quietest area and hide.

#3: Study with WAEC Syllabus for Physics (Expo)

Most candidates make the mistake of just reading their books like a novel.

No, you want to get this subject into your head, then you must read it with care. Read as if you want to know.

Studying without a syllabus especially for WAEC Physics question and answers will not help you at all.

The syllabus is there to guide you on the topics you are to read. It will also give you the subtopics and will direct you properly.

He'll be very delighted to hear that and will give you without wasting any time.

#5: Do not Miss classes

You should not miss classes so easily if you want to pass WAEC Physics questions with correct answers.

This is because most of those things your teacher will say will appear in the exams and that will be of great help.

Remember...

one mark can change your story in WAEC.

So, do not joke with lectures when it is time.

Again, you can pay a tutor to take you after the normal school hours, it helps a lot.

This will give you the confidence that you need to write your exam without shaking.

# Say no to Malpractice

Malpractice does not help anybody.

If you cheat and pass today, a day is coming when you shall not be able to cheat.

What you know shall be required of thee.

Therefore, it is pertinent you write it on your own and forget about malpractice.

Remember, a little form of misconduct can lead to the cancellation of WAEC Physics exam in your centre.

Write the questions and get your answers correctly without involving in any problem.

With these tips, we are convinced that nothing will happen to your answer sheet at all and you'll pass successfully if you adhere to it.
