Which WASSCE Core Mathematics topic to open first

14 October 20266 min read

This page is for a WASSCE student in Ghana, and for the parent sitting nearby. It answers one job: which topic to open first in Core Mathematics. The next step is a free check of this subject, then an account if you want the result kept.

Core Mathematics is on almost every SHS timetable. The marks sit in algebra setup, a diagram, a table, or a trig ratio. Elective Mathematics does not replace this paper.

What should you open in Core Mathematics?

Stay inside these topics. They are the ones listed for WASSCE Core Mathematics on the subject page. A different book's chapter titles can wait.

  • Algebra. Algebra is one block of the paper. Geometry is a different block. Do not revise them in the same half hour.
  • Geometry. Geometry is one block of the paper. Statistics is a different block. Do not revise them in the same half hour.
  • Statistics. Statistics is one block of the paper. Trigonometry is a different block. Do not revise them in the same half hour.
  • Trigonometry. Trigonometry is one block of the paper. Algebra is a different block. Do not revise them in the same half hour.

What does a short week look like?

  • Evening 1: Algebra. Twenty to thirty minutes, then stop.
  • Evening 2: Geometry. Twenty to thirty minutes, then stop.
  • Evening 3: Statistics. Twenty to thirty minutes, then stop.
  • Evening 4: Trigonometry. Twenty to thirty minutes, then stop.

After one of those evenings, take the free Core Mathematics diagnostic. You will see On Track, Improving, or At Risk. That label is for you. It is not a WASSCE grade.

Where do you go next?

The subject page is Core Mathematics for WASSCE. If you want the class and the subjects saved, create a free account. You can read this page first. The account is one screen: name, email or phone, and a password.
