Legit.ng earlier reported that WAEC said the CBT would feature fully computer-based objective tests, with hybrid formats for essays and tests of practical papers.
According to WAEC, the objective test will be fully computer-based, while the essay and test of practical papers will be hybrid (that is, a combination of paper-based and CBT models).
