5. Thumbprint. Thumbs printing helps the WAEC board to recognize you as one who wants to participate in the examination that specific year. Your registrar will help you to sort it out. It either takes you to a computer cafe or brings in the person who will do the thumb printing for you. Better still you can decide to do it yourself.

Candidates who are from another school or those who are already done with secondary school but did not make it with their results and are ready to re-sit for another year are regarded as external candidates.
1. Please Follow steps one, two, and three given above for internal students. Be aware that your exam fee is different from theirs. Since you are from outside the school you will be required to pay more.
2. Check if your email address is still functioning, if not retrieve it or go for another.
