Themes

The dataset covers health, employment and enterprise, school and community events, community facilities, environment and agriculture, technology and media, education, public conduct, moral/proverb topics, and family/youth issues.

score range: 11–50;
mean score: 38.95;
essay length range: 449–628 whitespace-delimited words;
mean essay length: 490.54 words;
real student scripts: none;
real student personal information: none expected. Names, addresses, schools, and situations inside essays are synthetic narrative content.

Generation methodology

Historical public WAEC Nigeria prompts and Chief Examiner observations were used privately to study task structure, genre conventions, and recurring performance issues. Historical questions, observations, scans, and marking guides are not included in this release.

The pipeline generated a structured blueprint, a synthetic essay under a controlled learner profile, two independent grading reports, and a final adjudication. Deterministic checks validated arithmetic, required fields, score bounds, word length, originality thresholds, and output length. Questions were screened against the private historical research corpus using sequence similarity and five-gram overlap thresholds.

Generation and grading used Gemini API model versions recorded in the private run provenance. Google states that it does not claim ownership over generated content; the dataset creator remains responsible for its publication and use.

Human-audit status

The planned publication gate required a 100-record human audit with at least a 95% pass rate. That audit has not yet been completed. Consequently, this is labelled a preview rather than a human-validated benchmark. Do not interpret the labels as expert ground truth.

The 20-record test split is useful for reproducible experiments but should not be used to claim agreement with real WAEC examiners.

Intended uses

supervised fine-tuning for educational feedback research;
evaluation of rubric-shaped response formatting;
analysis of compact offline educational models;
development of teacher-in-the-loop tools.

Out-of-scope uses

presenting a score as an official WAEC result;
replacing qualified teachers or examiners in consequential decisions;
ranking real students, teachers, or schools;
inferring protected attributes or first language from writing;
training systems without preserving the synthetic-data and uncertainty disclosures.

Known limitations

Synthetic essays do not reproduce the full distribution of real student writing.
Multiple generator/grader models may share correlated biases.
Labels may contain scoring, feedback, or realism errors despite automated gates.
The dataset is biased toward conventional on-topic compositions of approximately 450–630 words.
Genre and topic coverage may differ from future examinations.
The exact proportional treatment of Mechanical Accuracy for short scripts remains uncertain; short examples were excluded or routed to review.
