WAEC WASSCE 2-Hour Sprint

Reading and interpreting unseen passages; identifying main ideas, supporting details, tone, purpose, and writer's attitude; making inferences and drawing conclusions from textual evidence in WAEC prose selections.

Simplifying algebraic expressions; expanding and factorising expressions including quadratic expressions; manipulating algebraic fractions; evaluating expressions given specified values; and applying algebra to word problem solving.

Scalar and vector quantities; displacement, velocity, acceleration; equations of uniformly accelerated motion (s = ut + ½at², v = u + at, v² = u² + 2as); graphical analysis of motion (gradient = velocity/acceleration, area = displacement); and free fall under gravity.

Atomic models and quantum numbers; electron configuration (Aufbau principle, Hund's rule, Pauli exclusion); ionic bonding and properties of ionic compounds; covalent bonding using Lewis structures; coordinate bonding; VSEPR theory and molecular shapes (linear, trigonal, tetrahedral); hybridisation (sp, sp2, sp3); and intermolecular forces.

Ultrastructure of plant and animal cells using electron microscopy; functions of cell organelles (nucleus, nucleolus, mitochondria, ribosome, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi body, chloroplast, lysosome, cell membrane); the fluid mosaic model of the cell membrane; and differences between plant and animal cells.

The law of demand and the demand curve; factors causing shifts in demand (income, tastes, price of related goods, expectations, number of buyers); the law of supply and supply curve; factors causing shifts in supply (technology, costs, government policy); market equilibrium; and how price controls (price floors and ceilings) create market imbalances.

The meaning and importance of a constitution as the supreme law; the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (as amended) and its key provisions; Chapter II (Fundamental Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy); the federal character principle; and constitutional development in Nigeria from 1960 to present.

Analysis of selected African and international novels for WAEC; narrative techniques, narrative voice, and structure; characterisation, plot development, themes (colonialism, identity, tradition versus modernity, gender, class), and social commentary; critical interpretation of authorial choices; and essay writing skills for prose analysis in WAEC.

Types of maps (topographic, choropleth, dot, isopleth, pictogram); map scales: linear, ratio, and statement scales; representation of relief using contours (height, gradient, intervisibility); extracting information from maps: direction, bearing, distance, area, and geographic features; and solving WAEC map interpretation questions.

Rock types and the rock cycle; weathering processes (physical, chemical, biological) and their role in soil formation; soil profile and horizons (O, A, E, B, C, R); soil composition: mineral particles, organic matter, water, air; soil pH and its effect on crop growth; and soil degradation: erosion, leaching, salinity and their control.
