Having worked through every WAEC mathematics paper from 2015 to 2025, six topics appear without fail — usually worth close to half the marks between them.
- Number bases
- Indices and logarithms
- Quadratic equations
- Circle theorems
- Trigonometry and bearings
- Statistics and probability
This does not mean ignore everything else. It means that if you are short on time, these six give you the highest return per hour.
