Does NECO have theory questions in their exam, or is it only obj? What are the best ways to answer these theoretical questions?

Questions like this will be answered in this article. Kindly read to the end to better understand how it works.

Does NECO Have Theory Questions in the Exam?

Yes, they do. All Subjects in NECO have their theoretical and objective questions. Some subjects like physics, biology, and chemistry have the practical part when you will carry out an experiment and write your answers to the questions.

NECO is not like JAMB, where all questions are objective.

Tips For Answering Theory Questions

I did NECO some years ago, and here are some tips I can give you, which can come in handy, especially when you want to answer the theoretical questions in the exam.

1. Write your name and NECO number first. Before even going through the questions, fill out the required details. Don’t make any mistakes in your name or NECO registration number.

2. Read the questions and instructions. The question may be simple, but not following the instructions can lead to failure. Always understand the questions and instructions before you even think of writing your answers.

3. Your handwriting matters. NECO is not CBT, where a computer marks your scripts. Teachers or professional markers mark them. Some may have trouble understanding your answers if your handwriting is nothing to write about. I know nobody is perfect, but make it legible enough and neat.

4. ITK. Don’t do more than what was asked for. If the question tells you to answer 4, answer only 4. I have seen some candidates who decided to play smart and answered more than the required questions, negatively affecting their performance.

You don’t know it all, and some examiners can decide to deduct your marks when you try to do more than what they asked for.

WAEC vs NECO: Which is Better?

I assume you already know the answer to this question: WAEC. WAEC beats NECO, hands down. NECO is just an alternative to WAEC; the difference is clear. I don’t need to stress more about why WAEC is better than NECO.

Some higher institutions in Nigeria prefer WAEC results to that of NECO. Whichever is better for you, ensure you have an excellent WAEC result.
