NECO Timetable 2023 is Out: Are you studying for the National Examinations Council’s (NECO) Senior Secondary School Examination (SSCE) in 2023? If that’s the case, you can use this page to print or download the timetable.
The National Examinations Council (NECO) is an examination body in Nigeria that conducts the Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (SSCE) for students in their final year of secondary school. As the exam draws near, one of the most important resources for students is the NECO timetable, which provides information about when each exam will be held. In this article, we will discuss everything you need to know about the NECO timetable for 2023.
When will the NECO 2023 Exam Take place?
The NECO 2023 exam will start on Monday, July 3rd, and Friday, August 11th, 2023. The examination will be conducted across the country, and students will be required to sit for different subjects on different days, depending on their exam timetable.
Where can I get the NECO 2023 timetable?
The NECO 2023 timetable is available on the official NECO website (www.neco.gov.ng) as well as other reputable education websites in Nigeria. You can also get a copy of the timetable from your school or educational institution.
How do I use the NECO timetable?
To use the NECO timetable effectively, you need to understand how it works. The timetable is divided into two parts: Part A and Part B. Part A contains the subjects that will be taken in the morning session, while Part B contains the subjects that will be taken in the afternoon session.
To use the timetable, locate your subject in either Part A or Part B and check the date and time that it is scheduled to be taken. Make sure to note down the date and time for each of your subjects, and plan your study schedule accordingly. It is important to be well-prepared for each exam, so make sure you give yourself enough time to revise and practice before each test.
What if there is a clash in my timetable?
