Yes, the West Afican Examinations Council (WAEC) confirmed that the 2025 May/June WASSCE results are now live.

Over 1.7 million students sat for the exam. About 87 per cent of them made it out with at least five credits. English and Maths or not, credit na credit.

 

What You Need Before You Start Clicking

Before you rush to the site like someone chasing free Wi-Fi, just chill small. Gather these things first:

  • Your WAEC exam number – That’s your centre number plus seat number. Ten digits in all.
  • The PIN and Serial Number – Look for them on the Smart ID card you used for the exam. You know, the one with your sleepy face.

No PIN? No wahala. There’s a way to get another one. Let’s talk about that.

How To Buy A New WAEC Result Checker PIN

So your PIN vanished? Maybe your younger sibling used the card to draw robot or it just disappeared like money on the last day of the month. Either way, here’s how to buy a fresh one:

  1. Visit the WAEC Request Portal
  2. When the page opens, wait for your transaction reference to pop up on its own
  3. Under “Request Type”, pick Request For Service
  4. Then choose Sale of WAEC Direct Result Checker
  5. Enter your name, phone number and email
  6. Click to proceed and pay ₦4,250

Once payment goes through, your new PIN go land sharp sharp. Save it somewhere o. Don’t trust your memory too much.

How To Check Your WAEC Result Online

You’ve got the number, the PIN and the vibe. Time to check.

Head over to the WAEC Result Portal and do this:

  • Enter your exam number
  • Pick 2025 as the exam year
  • Choose School Candidate Result
  • Type in your PIN and Serial Number
  • Hit Submit

Don’t start double-clicking like the mouse is dragging you. Just wait. Give it a few seconds. Your result go show.

No Internet? Use SMS Instead

If your internet is moving like NEPA light during rain, there’s Plan B.

Text format looks like this:

WAECExamNumberPIN*ExamYear

Then send to 32327.

Only MTN, Airtel and Glo dey allowed for this one. If you’re on 9mobile, try the online route. Or borrow someone phone, no shame.

It costs ₦30. If that sounds painful, think of it like paying for one meat pie that didn’t have meat inside.

Example

If your number is 4250101001 and your PIN is 123456789012, your message should look like this:

WAEC4250101001123456789012*2025

Hit send. Wait. The result will show up in your inbox like an unexpected text from your crush.

Trouble? Something Not Working?

Let’s say you tried everything and your result is still forming hard guy. Time to call for backup.

WAEC
c Releases 2025 May/June Results Statistics with Over 38% Pass

WAEC has released the 2025 May/June WASSCE results with a sharp drop in performance compared to last year. This article breaks down the numbers, why fewer students passed with core subjects, and the issues WAEC is tackling behind the scenes. Keep reading to understand what really went down.

It started with the usual buzz. Parents whispering in church, classmates forming cool as they secretly refresh the WAEC site every ten minutes. Some people already checked theirs, others are avoiding their phones like they owe it money.

Well, it’s official. WAEC has released the results for the 2025 May/June exam. But this time, the gist no sweet like last year.

Out of nearly two million students who registered, about 1,969,313 actually showed up and wrote the exam. That’s across Nigeria and a few other countries—Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Equatorial Guinea. Yes, those ones too use our curriculum.

Now here’s where it gets tricky.

WAEC’s Head of Nigeria Office, Amos Dangut, didn’t sugarcoat anything at the Lagos press briefing. While 87.24 percent of the candidates scored credit and above in five subjects (regardless of whether English or Maths was among them), only 38.32 percent made it with both English and Maths included.

Last year, over 72 percent hit that mark. So this year’s result? A major drop. Roughly 34 percent gone, just like that.

Let that sink in.

What Went Wrong?

WAEC says they’ve been trying to clamp down on malpractice, and that may be why scores dropped.

One of the new things they did was “serialise” the objective papers in major subjects like English, Maths, Biology and Economics. That means your neighbour couldn’t easily peep and copy answers. If your version said “A”, theirs might say “C”. Game over for expo.

And honestly, it probably worked. Maybe too well.

According to Mr Dangut, more girls sat the exam than boys. A small win, maybe. 992,526 were female and 976,787 were male.

Also, WAEC made space for students with special needs—over 12,000 of them. From those with sight issues to others battling mental health conditions, the council said it did what it could to support everyone. Their results? Released too.

But not everyone got feedback yet. About 451,796 candidates are still waiting because of one problem or the other—like pending subjects or technical hiccups. That’s nearly a quarter of all who sat.

Still, WAEC promises to sort it soon. How soon? They didn’t say exactly, but fingers crossed.

Exam Malpractice

Even with all the anti-cheating moves, 262,803 candidates had their results withheld. That’s 13 percent of all test takers. The council suspects they got involved in some shady exam activity.

Now, investigations are ongoing. WAEC’s Nigeria Examinations Committee will later decide who gets punished and who gets cleared.

And guess what? It wasn’t just students. Mr Dangut called out some supervisors and invigilators for “helping” candidates. It seems some grown-ups decided to play smart too.

WAEC says it’s working with state ministries to make sure those officials face music.

WAEC GCE 2025 Second Series Registration Now Open for Private Candidates

Good news for students looking to take the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) General Certificate Examination (GCE) Second Series in 2025. The registration for this important exam has officially started, giving private candidates a chance to secure their WAEC certificate. This is a great opportunity for those who missed the first series, want to improve their previous results, or need the certificate for school admission or job applications.

The registration window opened on June 09, 2025, and will close on August 22, 2025. The cost of the registration form is ₦27,000, and you can get the registration PIN from WAEC offices, banks, accredited registration centres, or trusted agents across Nigeria. You can also purchase the PIN online through platforms like Remita for a smooth and secure process.

To register, visit the official WAEC registration portal at www.waeconline.org.ng. After getting your PIN, log in to the portal and follow the steps to fill out your details. Make sure to provide a valid email address and phone number during registration, as these will be used for important updates. WAEC has also introduced biometric features to verify candidates at exam centres, so follow all instructions carefully to avoid issues.

The WAEC GCE Second Series is mainly for private candidates, not school students. It’s perfect for people who are no longer in secondary school but need their WAEC results for further studies or work. The exams are expected to take place between November and December 2025, with the exact timetable to be released later. Keep checking the official WAEC website or trusted platforms like MySchool.ng for updates on the exam schedule.

Here are some important tips to ensure a successful registration:

  • Double-check your details: WAEC will not allow corrections to your information once the exams start. Make sure your name, date of birth, and other details are correct.
  • Get your Photo Card: You must bring your original Photo Card to the exam hall. Without it, you may not be allowed to write the exam.
  • Follow exam rules: WAEC is strict about malpractice. If you break the rules, you risk losing a subject or even your entire result. You could also face prosecution.
  • Stay safe: All candidates must follow COVID-19 safety guidelines during registration and exams.

For those preparing, WAEC offers a list of approved subjects for the GCE Second Series, including core subjects like Mathematics and English, as well as electives like Visual Art, Auto Mechanics, and Financial Accounting. You can find the full list on the WAEC website or at registration centres.

If you’re planning to use your WAEC results for university admission, remember that uploading your O’Level results to the JAMB portal is compulsory. Many schools in Nigeria and abroad accept a combination of WAEC and GCE results, as long as they meet the course requirements.

Don’t miss this chance to take a step closer to your academic or career goals. Register before the August 22, 2025, deadline, and start preparing for the exams. For more details or assistance, visit www.waeconline.org.ng or contact WAEC through their official customer service channels.
