What your WASSCE results mean

The WASSCE grading system uses a nine-point scale, ranging from A1 to F9. Here’s a breakdown of what they mean:

• A1 means you’ve mastered the subject.
• B2 and B3 demonstrate a good performance.
• C4, C5, and C6 are credit passes that meet the minimum requirements for university admission.
• D7 and E8 indicate that you barely passed and often require retaking those subjects.
• F9 indicates that you failed the subject and will need to retake it to qualify for tertiary education.

These grades help the university determine your eligibility, assess scholarship qualifications, and guide you on which subjects require improvement.

FAQs

What should I do if my WASSCE results are withheld?

If your WASSCE results are withheld, it usually means your exam is under review for possible malpractice. Common causes include cheating or the use of mobile phones. WAEC investigates before releasing such results.

How can I verify the authenticity of my WASSCE results?

Always check results through the official WAEC portal. If you need to confirm their authenticity, you can also request a verification of results from WAEC.

Can I check my WASSCE results multiple times?

Yes. One scratch card gives you three attempts. After that, you’ll need a new card for additional checks.

Conclusion

Once your results are released, check them immediately using the WAEC portal. Make sure you have your voucher and exam details ready. After viewing your results, save or print a copy for your records.
