WAEC Physics Practical Questions And Answers 2023 Guide 

The WAEC physics practical is worth 40% of the total mark you can get on the WASSCE, NECO, or GCE physics test.

So many students want to know what the WAEC physics practical questions and answers are. In reality, nobody can answer your real questions. But a serious person can only show you what you need to know and how to answer the questions.

Please keep in mind that WAEC will send your teachers the 2023 Physics example, and it will be up to them to teach you how to answer likely questions on the WAEC physics practical.

Also, physics teachers at many secondary schools already have the WAEC practical example set up, which means that your school would have received a list of the equipment that will be needed. From this, teachers can figure out what kinds of practical questions might come up on the test.

The WAEC Timetable says that the Physics practical has two options (Alternative A and B), and the questions are split into three groups: mechanics, light, and electricity.

So, in physics, you also need to know how to make a good table of numbers and how to plot a graph if you want to do well on the practical. The link to "How to Plot a Graph" shows the standard WAEC way to plot a graph during practical.

This article isn't about the questions and solutions, but I will tell you some important things to remember.

Paper 3 is a practical test for school candidates or an option for private candidates who don't want to take the practical work paper. Candidates will be required to respond to any two of the three questions in 2 hours and 45 minutes for a total of 50 points on each paper version.

Things you need to know to answer WAEC practical questions in physics

1. titles (make sure to include the unit in the table and graph)

2. Your numbers must be at least 2 decimal places (d.p). Keep an eye out for d.p.

3. Systematic mistakes, big mistakes, and not following the rules are always punished.

4. Make sure the axes of your graph are clear.

 5. Use a fair scale.

6. You must plot all your points properly

Likely precautions in WAEC physics practical

2. Noted/corrected/avoided zero error on stopwatch/clock/meter rule

3. Avoided draught

4. Avoided conical oscillation

5. Ensured that support was rigid

6. Ensured bob of the pendulum was free from table

Light

1. Avoided parallax error in reading meter rule/protractor

2. Optical pins inserted vertically

3. Reasonable spacing of pins

4. Well-sharpened pencil used

5. Repeated readings are shown on the table

6. Surface of the prism cleaned

7. Surface of the lens cleaned

8. Lens kept upright

Electricity

1. Key opened in between readings

2. Tight connections used

3. Avoided parallax error when taking readings on a voltmeter or ammeter

4. Clean terminal ensured

5. Avoided zero error on voltmeter or ammeter

6. Repeated readings are shown on the table
