Before You Start Answering the 2012 WAEC English Language Objective Questions
1. Don’t be in a rush.
2. Don’t choose the first option that seems right.
3. Examine all the options before deciding on the correct one.
4. From time to time, pause and view the section’s instructions once again to be sure you are doing the correct thing. Sometimes, confusion can set in and you will start answering nearest in meaning instead of opposite in meaning.
