The WAEC Recruitment 2026 aptitude test/CBT venue information is now being circulated for applicants across different states in Nigeria. Candidates who applied for the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) recruitment are advised to check the examination information available to them carefully and prepare adequately for the Computer Based Test (CBT).
According to the venue information currently available, applicants in several states have been assigned different schools, CBT centres, WAEC offices and other approved-looking locations for the recruitment examination.
Important: Candidates should not rely solely on social media posts or forwarded messages when confirming an examination venue. If you have received an official WAEC recruitment invitation, examination slip, SMS, email or portal notification, use the venue stated in that communication as your primary reference.
For applicants who have not seen a clearly stated venue, some candidates have reported being advised to visit the WAEC office nearest to them for clarification. One applicant also reported having written the examination despite not initially seeing a venue assigned to them.
Update
Applicants are currently receiving text messages containing their examination number and link where they can take their aptitude test wherever they are without going to the exam centre.

What WAEC Recruitment Applicants Should Know
Applicants should understand that a recruitment CBT venue is not necessarily the same for every applicant in a state. Large recruitment exercises may use several examination centres depending on the number of candidates and available facilities.
Therefore, do not assume that every applicant in your state will write at the same venue.
Your official invitation, examination slip, recruitment portal notification, email or SMS should take priority over an unofficial WhatsApp or Facebook message.
If you cannot find your venue, contact the appropriate WAEC recruitment channel or visit the relevant WAEC office for clarification.
Candidates should also avoid paying individuals who claim they can change examination venues, guarantee employment or provide leaked CBT questions.
What to Bring to the WAEC Recruitment CBT
The information supplied for applicants states:
- Internet-enabled device
- Valid ID – original and photocopy
- Writing materials
Candidates should also carry any examination invitation, acknowledgement slip, application printout or other document specifically requested in their official recruitment communication.
It is advisable to keep both physical and digital copies of important recruitment documents.
Valid Identification Documents
Where identification is required, candidates should take an acceptable government-issued or officially recognised identity document. The exact documents accepted should be confirmed from the official examination instructions.
Candidates should not present photocopies alone when the instruction specifically requires the original document.
WAEC Recruitment 2026 CBT Tips
Preparing properly can make a significant difference during a computer-based recruitment test.
1. Arrive early
Do not plan to arrive at the venue just before the examination starts. Traffic, security checks, candidate verification and registration can cause delays.
2. Know your venue before examination day
If possible, locate the centre before the test date. This is particularly important if the venue is in an unfamiliar part of town.
3. Take your identification documents
Keep your original ID and photocopy ready. Also carry your examination invitation or other documents requested by WAEC.
4. Practise CBT questions
Candidates should practise questions involving:
- English Language
- Mathematics and numerical reasoning
- General knowledge
- Current affairs
- Logical reasoning
- Verbal reasoning
- Basic computer skills
The actual subjects and format may vary depending on the recruitment exercise.
5. Read every question carefully
Do not rush through questions simply because the examination is timed. Read the instructions and understand what is required before selecting an answer.
6. Manage your time
If a question is difficult, move on and return to it later where the CBT system permits this.
7. Avoid examination malpractice
Do not attempt to use unauthorised materials, mobile phones or assistance from other candidates. Such conduct could lead to disqualification.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Applicants should avoid the following mistakes during the WAEC recruitment CBT:
Ignoring official instructions: Always read the examination notification carefully.
Going to the wrong venue: Several venue lists are circulating online, and some states have more than one centre. Confirm your assigned centre before travelling.
Arriving late: Late arrival may create unnecessary problems during verification.
Forgetting identification: Candidates without the required identification may experience difficulty during screening.
Paying for fake recruitment assistance: No genuine recruitment process should require applicants to pay an agent to guarantee employment.
Believing leaked questions: Messages claiming to contain WAEC recruitment examination questions may be fraudulent or designed to scam applicants.
Using an unauthorised device: Only take devices or materials that are permitted under the examination instructions.
Application and Examination Tips
Candidates should keep their recruitment information safe until the entire process is completed.
Take screenshots or print relevant confirmation pages where appropriate. Save emails and SMS messages relating to the recruitment process.
If your venue appears different from what you see on social media, do not automatically assume that the social media information is correct. Your personal examination invitation should be treated as the more relevant source.
Applicants who have already written the examination should monitor official communication for information about subsequent stages of the recruitment process.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the WAEC Recruitment 2026 CBT venue the same for everyone?
No. Recruitment examinations may use different centres across states and locations. Applicants should confirm the centre assigned to them.
What should I do if I cannot find my examination venue?
Check your recruitment invitation, email, SMS, application portal and other official communication. If the venue is still unclear, contact WAEC or visit the appropriate WAEC office for clarification.
Can I write the examination at any WAEC office?
Applicants should not assume that they can write the CBT at any WAEC office. Only attend a venue that has been officially assigned or confirmed for you.
What should I bring to the examination?
The circulated instructions state that candidates should come with an internet-enabled device, original and photocopy of a valid ID, and writing materials. Also bring your examination invitation or any other document specifically requested.
What if my state has two different venues circulating online?
Do not choose one randomly. Confirm the correct venue using your official WAEC recruitment communication before travelling.
Is the WAEC recruitment CBT difficult?
The difficulty can vary depending on the position and examination format. Candidates can improve their preparation by practising numerical, verbal, logical reasoning, English and general aptitude questions.
Can someone help me secure a WAEC recruitment appointment?
Be careful with anyone promising guaranteed employment in exchange for money. Recruitment decisions should follow the official selection process.
What happens after the CBT?
The next stage depends on the recruitment exercise and the position applied for. Successful candidates may be contacted for further screening, interviews, document verification or other stages.
Final Advice to WAEC Recruitment Applicants
The WAEC Recruitment 2026 aptitude test is an important stage for applicants who have been invited to participate. Candidates should prepare seriously, arrive early and take all required documents with them.
Most importantly, verify your examination venue before travelling. The list circulating online contains repeated entries and, in some cases, more than one venue for the same state. Therefore, applicants should not depend exclusively on forwarded messages.
If you have already written the examination, keep monitoring official WAEC communication for further updates. If you have not yet written and cannot identify your venue, contact the appropriate WAEC office or recruitment support channel for clarification.
Remember: your official examination invitation or WAEC communication should take priority over an unverified social media or WhatsApp venue list.
