Examination bodies in Nigeria, such as WAEC, JAMB, and the National Examination Council (NECO), have always compared notes in order to adjust their calendars to avoid clashes of activities.
Most of the time, the same candidates take the various examinations, and the examination bodies have stated that it is in their best interests to avoid timetable clashes.
