The WAEC syllabus for the Information and Communication Technology is the topic you must study to sit for the examination. It contains the aims and objectives, notes and format for the Information and Communication Technology exam.
Studying Information and Communication Technology is necessary for your exam preparation. It will serve as a guide for you to know the topics to read. There are also notes on concepts you should pay attention to learning.
Exam preparations without using the Information and Communication Technology are like going to the farm without your agricultural tools. You will end up not being productive.
Ensure you begin your exam preparations using the syllabus.
