WAEC Agric Practical
Specimen List 2026
Think Agric is easy? Discover the hidden traps in the 2026 Agricultural Science practicals and how to secure your A1 before you enter the hall.
Warning: Agric is NOT Just About Identifying Tools.
A lot of students fail Agricultural Science practicals because they underestimate it. They see a "Cutlass" or a "Wheelbarrow" and think they have passed. But WAEC doesn't award marks for simple identification.
The examiners are waiting to deduct marks for misspelled Botanical Names, wrongly drawn and labeled farm implements, and incorrect classifications of pests. If you write "Cassava" instead of Manihot esculenta (correctly underlined), you lose the mark. If you can't state the exact maintenance practices for Specimen A, your grade drops.
Examspot VIP gives you the ultimate cheat code. We provide perfectly drawn tool diagrams, correctly spelled botanical names, and the exact WAEC-approved answers for every specimen hours before your exam.
Highly Expected WAEC 2026 Agric Specimens
The Agricultural Science practical is divided into four major sections: Farm Tools, Soil/Fertilizers, Crops, and Livestock/Pests. Here is what your school will likely prepare:
Group 1: Farm Tools & Machinery
- Specimens: Sickle, Rake, Wheelbarrow, Headpan, Shears.
- The Trap: You will be asked to draw and label these tools. A poorly proportioned drawing will cost you 5 marks.

Group 2: Soil & Fertilizers
- Specimens: Loamy Soil, Clay Soil, Sandy Soil, NPK Fertilizer, Poultry manure.
- The Trap: Differentiating between them based on capillarity, porosity, and texture properties.
Group 3: Crops & Weeds
- Specimens: Guinea grass, Waterleaf, Cocoa pod, Cassava tuber, Yam.
- The Trap: Botanical names! You must write them with the Genus capitalized and the species in lowercase, and they MUST be underlined separately.
Group 4: Livestock & Pests
Expect specimens like Ticks, Tapeworms, or Animal Horns. Knowing their life cycles and economic importance is mandatory.
Get Solved AnswersFrequently Asked Questions
When will the WAEC 2026 Agric specimen be out?+
The official WAEC Agric specimen list is delivered to schools around 2 to 3 weeks before the practical paper. This gives the Agric teachers time to gather the weeds, tools, and soil samples. Examspot VIP members will be notified instantly once the list drops.
Do I need to know botanical names for Agric practical?+
Yes, it is strictly required. For any crop or weed provided, the first question is almost always "State the botanical name of Specimen X." If you join our VIP group, we compile and spell-check all required botanical names for you so you don't lose cheap marks.
How do I draw farm tools perfectly in the exam?+
Agric drawings must be 2-dimensional (not 3D). You must draw with a sharp HB pencil, ensure continuous lines (no sketchy strokes), and use ruled guidelines for your labels. Our VIP answers include step-by-step images of exactly how the examiners want the tools drawn.
