WAEC (AM)

WAEC (AM) refers to the West African Examinations Council's (WAEC) examinations conducted in the Additional/Alternate Mathematics subject. This abbreviation is often used informally within the West African educational context to specifically distinguish the Additional/Alternate Mathematics examination from other WAEC subjects. Additional/Alternate Mathematics is an optional, more advanced mathematics subject offered in addition to the core Mathematics subject. It covers more complex mathematical concepts and is often taken by students pursuing further studies in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields. The "AM" suffix, therefore, acts as a shorthand to identify this specific examination.
