It is also arguably the hardest as it is the last external examination a secondary school student sits for before they start preparing for their tertiary education.

Rated in A, B, C, D, E, and F grading levels, getting a distinction often reflects the unmatchable academic brilliance of a secondary school leaver.

In this report, YEN.com.gh will be looking at four students who have performed excellently at the examination.

1. Victory Yinka-Banjo

In 2020, the 17-year-old was celebrated for her academic brilliance after she got straight A's in her WAEC. Victory also passed other international exams like IELTS in flying colours.

The lady who is preparing to study medicine at the Federal Univerisity of Technology, Owerri also scored 345/400 in her Post-United Tertiary Matriculation Examination.

Government needs to take note

With the rare excellent results the country has been seeing in the examination in recent times, there should be a move towards creating a scholarship pool.

This will help students with exceptional performance to further their education.

She was once expelled

Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh earlier reported that a Nigerian lady, Angela Sughnen, narrated how she bounced back from a very bad place in her life to achieving a first-class.

In a long Facebook post on Tuesday, November 30, the lady said she was a 400 level student in a Nigerian university with a 2.1 grade when she got involved in examination malpractice and was going to be expelled.
