A Recap of the Marking Schedule
The marking of WASSCE scripts followed a detailed and well-structured timeline to ensure accuracy and fairness. The process was divided into three key phases:
- Zonal/Team Leaders Coordination: This critical phase, aimed at aligning the marking standards, was completed before the main marking process commenced.
- Assistant Examiners: From November 4 to November 29, 2024, assistant examiners brought their expertise to the forefront by evaluating examination scripts in various subjects.
- Marking Commencement: The official marking of scripts kicked off on November 7, 2024, and continued until November 29, 2024.
The conclusion of the marking phase signals the start of the final steps toward releasing the results.
