While some youths sweat and rack their brains for answers to questions at the ongoing West African Senior School Certificate Examination, others have perfected the art of getting cheap grades through some websites which obtain questions before the start of exams.
According to investigation by PUNCH Metro revealed this on Tuesday.
Our correspondent had pretended to be a candidate sitting for the WASSCE being administered by the West African Examination Council.
He subscribed for answers to Commerce (Objective and Theory) from five of the result-peddling websites – naijaclass.com, examcrown.com, examsort.com, waecexpo.com and guruslodge.com.
While naijaclass, examcrown, examsort and waecexpo demanded N400 MTN recharge cards to send a link to the answers of the exam and N800 for direct answers to phones, guruslodge demanded N800 to send the answers directly to candidates’ phones.
Candidates were, however, urged on the websites to make subscriptions for all the papers and pay into certain account numbers provided on their websites in order to get discounts.
Provisions were made for “Very Important Persons.”
There were alleged testimonies of some candidates who had passed their exams after using the services of the websites.
They also displayed excellent WASSCE results of some candidates, whose names were deliberately blurred to conceal their identities.
After we sent recharge cards to designated phone numbers on Monday, the operators of the websites, after some hours, sent confirmation texts.
