While WASSCE private candidates prepare for the 2024 NovDec, a 2024 NovDec Timetable (2024 WASSCE PC Timetable)  has been released by WAEC.

The timetable with the heading “West African Senior School Certificate Examination For Private Candidates, 2024—Second Series Final International Timetable Updated September 2024” has been sighted by Education-News Consult.

What We Know About the 2024 NovDec Timetable

In some member states of WAEC, such as Nigeria, the Private WASSCE is administered to candidates twice in the year but once in Ghana. The timetable in circulation, although it has “Second Series Final International Timetable,” Ghana’s WAEC office is yet to confirm officially if this is the same timetable to be used by candidates who will be writing the examination in Ghana.

Per the timetable in question, the 2024 NovDec exam is scheduled to commence on 25th October with Food and Nutrition 3 (Planning Section), which is a practical paper. The timetable has 20th December as the final day for the examination. On that day, students will write the English Language to draw the curtains down on the examination.

Our checks from the WAEC Ghana Portal show that WAEC has released the WASSCE PC timetable which is a bit different from the one that has been in circulation for Nigeria and other WAEC member states.
