Where NECO candidates lose marks
The mistakes that are specific to this exam, not generic study advice.
Assuming NECO is easier and revising less. The grading and the syllabus are the same standard as WAEC.
Skipping essay practice and relying on the objective paper.
Not showing working in calculations, which loses method marks.
Leaving the external (private) sitting unplanned when a WAEC result falls short. The two exams can cover each other.

-
2

Objective and essay questions on each topic straight after revising it.
-
3
English and Mathematics daily
