The WAEC Computer Studies Practical Specimen 2026/2027: WAEC Computer Studies Practical (Paper 3) focuses on applied skills in MS Word, Excel, CorelDraw, and database management, requiring proficiency in document formatting, data analysis, graphic design, and folder management. Key tasks include creating certificates, designing logos, designing database reports, and performing calculations

The exam tests practical skills in word processing, databases, spreadsheets, graphics, and file management. In MS Word, candidates create formatted documents like flyers, certificates, and tables using tools such as WordArt and text effects.

Database tasks involve creating and managing databases (e.g., a supermarket system) with tables, queries, and reports. In MS Excel, students perform data entry, apply formulas, and format sheets for tasks like payroll or billing.

CorelDraw is used for graphic design projects such as logos and magazine covers. File management requires proper creation and naming of folders according to exam instructions.

The exam typically lasts 2 hours, consists of about 3 questions (45 marks), and demands accuracy and regular saving of work.

Preparation Tips: Practice past questions (e.g., from WAEC resources), and focus especially on CorelDraw and database tasks, as they are often more challenging.
