Built for WASSCE candidates, and the schools and parents preparing them. This page answers the questions in the order you will probably ask them: what it does, what it runs on, what it costs, what you install, and what happens when something goes wrong.

What it does

The WASSCE papers, objectives and theory, with the Wi-Fi off.

SmartLearn WAEC is WASSCE preparation for candidates in Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, The Gambia and Liberia, and it works with the data off: 34,298 questions from past papers across 34 subjects, full mocks under exam conditions, and theory answers marked on the device — typed, or photographed from the page you wrote them on. A daily plan counts down to the exam, a mistake notebook brings back every question you missed, and Insights shows where you stand against the five credits a university asks for. It runs on Windows, Mac, Android, iPhone and iPad, and subjects install as packs you can download once and pass on.

  1. Exam Room

    A full paper under exam conditions: the real year's questions in booklet order, the clock, a calculator, and the marks for each question. Flag a question and come back to it, and see at a glance how many are answered, flagged and not yet seen. Under examination conditions, as in the hall, the clock cannot be paused and it submits the paper for you when time is up.

  2. Theory Room

    Papers 2 and 3 are where the grade is decided. Type your answer, calculations included, or photograph the pages you wrote by hand — or choose a scanned PDF — and SmartLearn reads it and marks it on the device, part by part, showing what each mark rests on. English and Literature essays are marked on content, organisation, expression and mechanics. Every mark is tentative until you accept or change it: it is a guide to your answer, not an official WAEC grade.

  3. Insights, against the university benchmark

    Five credits, with English and Mathematics among them, is what a university asks for — and Insights tells you, subject by subject, where you stand against it and what is costing you marks. Speed and accuracy, your mock history, and a report to export as a PDF for a parent or a teacher.

And the rest of what it does

  1. A plan for every day, and a mistake notebook

    Set your exam and your subjects, and the planner schedules each day from your own answers, counting down to the WASSCE. Every question you get wrong goes into the mistake notebook and keeps coming back until you get it right.

  2. Practice, three ways

    Study is untimed, and the explanation appears the moment you answer. Practice is timed, and you may pause. Focus practice goes straight to your weakest topics. Choose by subject, topic or year.

  3. Kace, who answers from your own subjects

    Ask in your own words — for past questions on a topic, the meaning of a word, or what the syllabus says about photosynthesis. Kace answers from the questions, dictionary and syllabus installed on the device, so it works offline too.

  4. A library, not just a question bank

    The WASSCE syllabus for every subject; an offline dictionary of 147,306 words; a formula and constants reference; the Literature set texts with a study guide for each; and a pronunciation drill with real recordings for the English Test of Orals.

  5. The Lab

    Practicals you can rehearse before you are in the laboratory: titration, qualitative analysis, a spring, a cooling curve and germination — and a drill in reading the instruments the practical paper asks about, from the metre rule and thermometer to the burette.

  6. SmartLearn Survival

    A game for the break between study sessions that asks questions from your own subjects, with a high-score table on the device and, if you choose to join it, a global one that shows a nickname and never your name.

  7. Network Exam, for schools

    A school sits a paper together on its own network. One Windows PC or Mac hosts the sitting; students join from the app or from a browser on the same Wi-Fi, with no licence of their own. No internet is involved.

  8. One device, several students

    Each student gets a profile with their own plan, mocks, mistakes and marks. Sign in to a Ratelsoft account to keep your progress if you change device — that is optional, and marking never leaves the device either way.

When something goes wrong

Questions we get asked.

And the answers we give, in the words we would use on the phone. If yours is not here, it reaches a person.

01 How do I buy it?

Choose a licence in the price list on this page and pay by card or bank transfer. The activation code goes into your Ratelsoft account; enter it in the app, or sign in there. On iPhone and iPad, SmartLearn WAEC is bought inside the app, from the App Store.

02 What can I do for free?

Free to install, with real questions from every subject to try before you pay — objectives and theory, marked. Activating unlocks every question in every subject, and the sample stays yours either way.

03 Which countries is it for?

All five English-speaking WAEC countries: Nigeria, Ghana, Sierra Leone, The Gambia and Liberia. Choose your country and your subjects when you set up, and your revision plan follows them. In Ghana it covers both the new curriculum and the old syllabus that private candidates sit.

04 Which exam is it for?

For the May/June 2027 WASSCE, and the November/December and January/February GCE series. The papers, the syllabus and the subject packs are built around the WASSCE.

05 Does it really mark my theory answers?

Yes — on the device, never on a server. Type the answer or photograph what you wrote, and SmartLearn marks each part against what the question asks for and shows you why. Treat the mark as a guide: it is tentative until you accept it, and it is not an official WAEC grade.

06 Can I share subject packs with a friend?

Yes. Each subject is a single pack file. Download it once here or in the app, then pass it on by flash drive, Bluetooth or WhatsApp, and install it with "Install from a file". The free packs open anywhere; a subject pack opens fully only on a device where SmartLearn WAEC is activated, and shows its free sample until then.

07 Will it work without internet?

Yes, once it is installed and activated. Practice, mocks, theory marking, Kace and Insights all run on the device.

08 Can I move my licence to a new device?

Yes, twice, within two years of first activating it. Release the licence in the app on the old device while it is online, then activate on the new one. If the old device is lost, contact us.

09 How is this different from SmartLearn JAMB?

Different exam, different papers, different marking. JAMB is a multiple-choice CBT; WASSCE is objectives and written theory, and the theory is where the grade is decided. SmartLearn JAMB is on sale today and is the right product for UTME and Post-UTME.

10 Is this an official WAEC product?

No. SmartLearn WAEC is not an official product of, or endorsed by, the West African Examinations Council. It uses past papers, and its marks and benchmarks are guidance, not WAEC results.
