What does ‘Two Sittings’ mean?

O’Level two sittings means two different WAEC, NECO or NABTEB results.

Say a candidate failed English in their first WAEC but passed it in their second WAEC or in NECO.

Universities that accept two sittings will allow such candidate to apply with the two results so that the English passed in the 2nd WAEC can cover for the 1st WAEC English failed.

But there are terms and conditions.
