3RD TERM SS2 DATA PROCESSING EXAMINATION QUESTIONS

We have compiled these Data Processing questions specifically for the third-term examination. The objective (OBJ) section includes a blend of randomly selected past questions from 2022 and questions directly drawn from the approved syllabus. The theory section also aligns strictly with the syllabus and is not based on the WAEC format.

These questions are useful for teachers, students, and researchers alike. Feel free to explore and use them for lesson planning, exam preparation, or revision purposes.

We’ve also previously shared questions for the second term; the link to those will be added to this page. Kindly share this content with others who may find it useful.
