    Are you preparing for the new WAEC Computer-Based Test (CBT) and feeling a bit nervous? Don’t worry — you’re not alone! Many students are also wondering how to use a computer during the exam.

     

    The good news is that the WAEC CBT system is simple and beginner-friendly. You only need a few basic computer skills to succeed. This guide will help you understand everything — from logging in to selecting answers and submitting your paper safely.

    Basic Computer Skills You Should Know

     

    1. How to Use the Mouse

    The mouse lets you move the pointer on the screen. You’ll use it to click on your chosen answers (A, B, C, or D), move to the next question, or submit your exam.

     

    Left-click = Select or confirm your choice.

     

    Right-click = Not needed during the exam.

    ✅ Tip: Practice clicking gently so you don’t double-click by mistake.

     

     

    2. How to Use the Keyboard

    You’ll need the keyboard mainly to type your exam number, password, or login details.

     

    The Enter key is used to confirm an action.

     

    The Arrow keys can help move between questions (in some CBT setups).

    Common Technical Issues and What to Do

     

    1. System Freezing or Hanging

    If your screen stops responding, don’t panic. Raise your hand — the technical staff will handle it, and your answers will stay safe.

     

    2. Login or Network Errors

    If the system fails to log you in, wait a few seconds. If it continues, quietly inform the supervisor.

     

    3. Mouse or Keyboard Not Working

    If your mouse won’t move or the keyboard stops responding, avoid hitting it. Report to the invigilator — they’ll change your seat or fix the issue.

     

    4. Timer Still Running After Submission

    If the timer keeps counting even after submission, don’t worry. Once you’ve clicked Submit and confirmed, your answers are already saved.

    Pro Tip 💡

     

    Never try to fix any technical problem yourself during the exam. Always call for help from the officials on duty.
