You can purchase this card at banks, authorized vendors, or through digital platforms like Remita and Quickteller.
The card typically contains a PIN and serial number that you’ll need to input when checking your result.
Ensure you buy it from reliable sources to avoid issues with the result-checking process.

What Should I Do if I Encounter Issues While Checking My WAEC Result?
If you face difficulties when trying to view your result, such as an error message, double-check that the details you entered are correct.
Ensure your scratch card has not expired, and the WAEC server is operational.
If issues persist, visit a nearby WAEC office or call their support line for further assistance.
Avoid sharing your card PIN with others, as multiple unauthorized attempts could lead to access restrictions.
