The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) is responsible for conducting the Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) across West African countries, including Nigeria.
Once you have completed your exams, one of the most critical steps is accessing your results.
Fortunately, WAEC has made it easy to check results online without the hassle of visiting physical offices.
How do I check my WAEC result online?
To check your WAEC result online, you need access to an internet-connected device, your WAEC examination number, and a WAEC result checker PIN or e-PIN.
Here’s the simple procedure:
- Open your browser and go to the official WAEC result-checking portal.
- On the home page, enter your WAEC Examination Number (this is a combination of your 7-digit center number and your 3-digit candidate number).
- Select your Examination Year and Type. If you sat for the WASSCE in 2024, for example, select the correct options.
- Enter the result checker PIN you purchased from authorized vendors or online.
- Enter your Examination Serial Number (provided on your WAEC photo card or ePIN slip).
- Click on “Submit” to view your results.
If the portal is experiencing high traffic, it may take a few moments to load. Be patient and avoid refreshing the page frequently.
Where can I get my WAEC result checker PIN?
The WAEC result checker PIN or e-PIN is required to access your results online.
You can purchase this PIN from authorized WAEC dealers or online platforms.
Many online vendors offer the e-PIN for sale, and you can buy it using mobile banking or other online payment methods.
After purchase, you will receive the PIN via email or text, which can then be used to access your results. Make sure you buy from verified sellers to avoid being scammed.
Can I check my WAEC result without a scratch card?
No, you cannot check your WAEC result without the result checker PIN or scratch card.
This PIN is essential because it provides access to the secure WAEC database where your results are stored.
However, the scratch card has largely been replaced by the e-PIN, which is more convenient and widely available online.
How much does it cost to check WAEC results online?
The cost of checking your WAEC result online depends on the price of the result checker PIN.
Typically, the e-PIN costs between ₦500 to ₦1000, depending on the vendor.
You can purchase the PIN online using various payment options, including bank transfers or card payments.
Can I check my WAEC result using my phone?
Yes, you can check your WAEC result using your phone.
Simply open your phone’s browser and navigate, then follow the steps listed above to enter your examination details.
As long as you have an internet connection and the required information, you can access your results without needing a computer.
How many times can I check my WAEC result online?
Each WAEC result checker PIN allows you to check your results five times.
After that, you’ll need to purchase another PIN if you want to view your results again.
Therefore, make sure you print or save a copy of your result for future reference after checking it the first time.
What should I do if I cannot access my WAEC result?
If you cannot access your WAEC result, first ensure that you’ve entered all your details correctly.
Double-check your examination number, year, and result checker PIN.
If the problem persists, it could be due to heavy traffic on the WAEC portal, in which case you should try again later.
If you continue having issues, contact WAEC support for assistance through their customer care line or email.
