Struggling with WASSCE Maths? Stop guessing. Let’s fix the gap step by step.
MATHEMATICS HELP FOR WASSCE
Stop Guessing. Start Understanding.
You’ve done the past questions. You’ve copied the notes. But the same mistakes keep showing up in your Mathematics. That usually means there’s a gap somewhere that nobody has spotted yet.
The Maths Clinic helps SHS and NOVDEC students find that gap, understand it, and fix it one step at a time.
Built from what the Chief Examiners keep pointing out.
Curriculum-Checked
Topics checked against the 2023 SHS curriculum. Old-syllabus topics are marked.
Learner-Centred
Patient help. No shaming, no rushing.
The evidence
12 years of WAEC reports. The same few gaps.
We read every Chief Examiner’s report for Core Mathematics we could find, from 2011 to 2025, and checked each topic against the 2023 SHS curriculum. The marks are not lost at random.
9 of 12
reports name turning word problems into equations as a weakness.
2023 · 2024 · 2025
Three reports in a row name illustrating information in a diagram as a weakness.
2019 · 2020 · 2021
Candidates drew graphs well but lost marks for not showing evidence of reading from them.
Struggling in Mathematics doesn’t mean you’re lazy. Most of the time, one topic has a weak spot underneath it, and that weak spot keeps costing you marks. These are the places where WAEC examiners see it happen year after year. Which one sounds like you?
Word Problems
You follow the story fine. The trouble starts when you have to turn it into an equation.
If you saw yourself in any of these, good. Now we know where to start.
WHY WE EXIST
Why The Maths Clinic Exists
Many students work hard. They attend every class, copy every note and solve past question after past question. Then exam day comes and the same mistakes are back. That isn’t laziness. It’s a weak spot nobody has found yet.
So we don’t start with “How many questions have you solved?” We start with “What’s causing this mistake?”
Every year, the WAEC Chief Examiner’s Reports list the same weaknesses in candidates’ scripts. Most of what you’ll find here comes straight from those reports, connected to what Ghana’s new SHS curriculum expects: thinking, explaining and solving problems, not memorising steps.
Study the Reports
We note the mistakes WAEC examiners see again and again.
Find the Gap
We trace each mistake back to the weak spot behind it.
Explain the Cause
You see exactly why it keeps happening, in plain language, with real-life examples.
Practise the Correction
You practise the right way until it sticks, so the old mistake stops coming back.
HOW TO USE THIS SITE
Start Where You Are
You don’t need to read everything. Follow these four steps and you’ll be working on the right thing.
1. Screen
Take the free 18-question check. It points to the area most worth working on first.
Sit with them for the free 18-question check. It takes about 10 minutes and points to the area to work on first, so time and money go to the right place.
We are preparing a class version: a diagnostic, answer keys and printable repair worksheets built from the patterns in WAEC reports. Tell us your school and class and we will contact you when it is ready.
A short pack that trains the skill WAEC flags most often: turning a word problem into the right equation. SHS 2, SHS 3 and NOVDEC learners can join the list to try it first and tell us honestly what worked.
I’m Dickson Sarpong, an NTC-certified Senior High School Mathematics teacher in Ghana. In the classroom, I see bright students lose confidence in Mathematics. Most of them can do it. Nobody has taken the time to find out what’s going wrong. That’s why I started The Maths Clinic. If you’re struggling, you don’t need more pressure. You need someone to find the gap, explain it clearly and help you fix it. That’s what I’m here for.
Thank you for your support, and thanks for how you made me understand graphs. I came across graphs in statistics today, and it was easy for me to plot my own while others were finding it difficult. I have to thank you once again. 🙏
