2. Draw a parallelogram: Input name, age, score

3. Draw a rectangle: Display name and age

4. Draw a diamond: Is score ≥ 80?

o Yes → Display Grade A, Well done → STOP

o No → Next decision
5. Diamond: Is score ≥ 70?

o Yes → Display Grade B → STOP

6. Diamond: Is score ≥ 60?

WAEC Examiner Tip 📝

If asked “Explain your flowchart”, write:

The flowchart accepts the student’s name, age, and score, then uses
decision symbols to determine the grade and display appropriate
comments.
