The Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) conducted by WAEC is the examination that marks the end of secondary education. In other words, it is the final examination that secondary school students write usually towards the end of their SS 3.

The success rate of students taking part in this examination keeps declining with every passing year. There are many reasons responsible for this outcome.

But one of the reasons is that most of the candidates do not prepare well for the examinations. Many just depend on the lesson notes from their classes. Others read just any textbook they can lay their hands on. They fail to realize that it is not all textbooks that provide a complete coverage of the syllabuses of WAEC subjects.

The essence of this post is to enlighten you on WAEC recommended textbooks for English.

But I’m also going to drop the following links for you here:

• NECO recommended text books for English examination.
• Link to WAEC syllabus for English.
• List of subjects offered in senior secondary school.

English Language

English Language is about the most important subject for every secondary school student. No one can list their core subjects without mentioning English regardless of whether they are Science or Arts students. The English Language is very important for any candidate who wants to further their studies in the tertiary institution. This is mainly because English is our lingua franca and most courses are taught in the language.

In some cases and for some courses, schools give special considerations to candidates who fail Mathematics. But there is hardly any condition for which a waiver is given to those who did not credit English. So English is that important.

In view of the above, every candidate offering English wants to get a high grade. But this is only possible through strenuous preparation, making use of WAEC syllabus for English, the recommended textbooks and your lesson notes.

Like you already know, my focus on this post is WAEC recommended textbooks for English. But as you learn about the textbooks and purchase them, do not neglect your teachers’ lesson notes. They are experienced summary of the key points you would find in your textbooks.

WAEC Recommended Textbooks For English 2024

WAEC recommended textbooks for English are textbooks that WAEC examiners have taken time to go through and determined that they provide the best coverage, approach and explanations of the topics in English syllabus.

This is one of the several reasons why WAEC is a  standard external examination body. They provide their candidates with both syllabuses and recommended textbooks.

The syllabuses state the scope of the subjects and the learning objectives. The recommended textbooks are the ones that cover the syllabuses adequately using the best teaching approach.

WAEC expects every SSCE candidate who desires to ace the examinations to make use of both the syllabuses and recommended texts in their preparation.
