To practice is the act of rehearsing a behaviour over and over. It could also
be defined as engaging in an activity again and again.
Practicing a craft, game, etc., is usually done for the purpose of gaining
improvement or mastery in that field. Sports teams practice to prepare for
actual games. Musicians practice before their actual shows, and more.
So, practicing more WAEC past questions is another factor that puts you on the pathway of achieving better grades on the WASSCE.
How practicing WAEC past questions can help you
The specific behaviour
here is taking more timed WAEC practice tests (past
questions) frequently. Make sure you solve at least
a WAEC past question everyday. After each timed test, grade yourself
(be strict in doing this). Also try to decrease the total time required for
each test by 10 minutes.
Practicing more WAEC past questions is a method of learning and of
acquiring experience. It brings about acclimatization. Acclimatization, in the sense that you longer reserve any
fear towards the WAEC. It's just an exam that mainly tests you on what
you've been taught in school. Practicing more WAEC past question could help you
develop a strategy for the exam. For example:
Kofi has practiced all WAEC past questions on the Elective
Maths from year 2000 to year 2012. He noticed that he normally gets all
correlation questions correct. He then decides that he must surely answer
all correlation questions on the main test day.
Things to Note When Practicing WAEC Past Questions
If practicing from a "past question and answer book." Meet your
teacher for confirmation when you doubt.
Do not solve the same past question over-and-over again within the same
time period. Once you've marked yourself and corrected your wrongs—move
to a different set of questions or exams. You could come back later to practice
that past question again. Move on to answer other past questions; cover as much
as you can.
Practice in groups. You could have your friend grade your work, while you
grade his or hers.
Pay cognizance to new tricky or difficult topics or questions that appear
on any WAEC past question paper.
