As the 2025 WASSCE exams approach, one key area you must not overlook is the English Language Oral Test. This section of the paper is very important, and preparing for it properly can give you an extra boost in your English score.
The Oral Test is made up of seven different parts, each testing your listening and comprehension skills. You’ll need to pay close attention to instructions and be able to pick out subtle differences in pronunciation, sentence structure, and meaning.
To help you succeed, we’ve provided this WASSCE 2025 Oral Practice Set — complete with MP4 Audio Files and a downloadable PDF Question & Answer sheet.
