You must prepare for the test by studying the Auto Mechanical Work WAEC syllabus. The format, notes, and goals for the Auto Mechanical Work exam are all included.
The Auto Mechanical Work syllabus must be studied in order to be prepared for the exam. You can use it as a guide to help you decide which topics to read about. Additionally, there are notes on ideas that you ought to learn carefully.
Exam preparation without reference to the Auto Mechanical Work syllabus is equivalent to visiting a farm without your farm equipment. You won’t be effective in the end.
Make sure to use the syllabus when you start your exam preparations.
The West African Examination Council’s Auto Mechanical Work syllabus and suggested textbooks are included in this section (WAEC).
If you have any questions, please ask them in the comment area. I look forward to hearing from you.

Section A: This will include 10 brief, structured questions that you have 30 minutes to answer for 20 points.
Five essay questions will make up Section B. Candidates must respond to any four questions in 1 hour and 45 minutes to receive 60 points.
Paper 3: This practical test will last for two and a half hours. There will be two required questions totaling 80 marks.
Schools must receive a list of required materials at least two weeks before the test date so that they can purchase the necessary supplies and make any necessary preparations.
Alternative to Practical
In the alternative, the Council may consider assessing candidates’ level of theoretical proficiency with the practical skills outlined in the syllabus in the case that materials for the real practical test cannot be obtained.
There will be two sets of mandatory questions for this alternate test, which must be answered in 112 hours for a total of 80 points.
