How did you get to know of the questions since ICT questions don't come out of Examination Hall or you had the questions in advance. God save Ghana.

the question is correct. it gives two answers which makes it possible for a correct choice of 75% PROBABILITY. SO MST STUDENTS CAN CONSIDER THIS AS A BONUS QUESTION. THE ANSWERS ARE ARE C & D

So students are supposed to memorize all the menus of MS Word like the multiplication tables to be adjudged proficient?

In a real life situation, when one is using MS Word, the Menus will be present. The real task of the proficient user of the program will be determining which of the Menu items to use to accomplish a particular task.

The most appropriate question to test the skills of the students in MS Word would've been something like:

"Which of the following command sequences enables one to turn a written text into bold italicized lists?

A. Highlight text....>Click Bold...>Click Italic...>Click Bullets

B. Click Bullets....>Highlight text....>Click Italic.....>Click Bold

C Click Redo...>Click Bullets...>Click Bold...>Highlight Text

D etc. on similar variations of procedure.

Such a question will text knowledge of procedure rather than the rote memorization of Menu, which serves no purpose.

That is why our educational system from day nursery to PhD level since independence only produces book longs who can memorize(chew and pour) without any critical thinking skills and practical knowledge. Our filthy and unhygienic environment speak volumes. You are classified intelligent based on how fluent your English language is.

The question is discriminatory, unless every student has been made proficient in Microsoft Excel/word etc. Objectivity may mean 'external reality' but that should not be a sound test of knowledge. This is 'a malpractice' in NPP parlance and very shameful.

I told my colleagues about the ambiguity and vagueness of the question as two answers.

Another school of thought has it that the redo button is only active after the undo button has be used, but what ever be the solution, we hope WAEC will be smart to resolve this hitch and avert the possibility of future occurrences.

the option A and B are found on the formatting toolbar whilst that of C and D are located on the standard toolbar. Depending on question the correct answer should be both C and D

Question 30 was totally wrong too.
30. A rectangle can be drawn in word processing application using a
A. Arrow
B. Circle
C. Oval
D. Square

if option D is the correct answer ...hence making the question wrong ....this is because there is no drawing tool in ms word called square tool , instead we have a rectangle tool ....and we used rectangle tool to draw most 4-sided figures ...meaning we can use rectangle tool to draw a square ...not a square tool to draw a rectangle

Erica, i suppose we give respect to each others view irrespective of how wierd it may be. Insults and abusive words hardly send us anywhere. I'm sorry though, but i must be frank with you.
A critical look at the questions and further research showed that the C & D answers are right. We however believe WAEC to have experts in various course areas, let us wait on them, but i believe they will not pay deaf ears to constructive criticism.
