THE LIBERIA SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL CERTIFICATE EXAMINATION – PRIVATE (LSHSCE – PRIVATE)
The Examination will be administered to candidates who may or may not have sat the examination in the past. The examination will test the extent to which candidates have covered materials contained in the National Curriculum of the Ministry of Education for senior high schools. The detailed syllabuses for the Examination are distillation of the Ministry’s Curriculum and tutors should therefore regard them only as guidelines and not as ends in themselves. Candidates are expected to acquaint themselves thoroughly with the regulations since they form the basis for taking the examination. The responsibility for test administration lies entirely with the West African Examinations Council.
