WAEC 2025 SSCE Results Now Available: 62.9% Pass Rate After Technical Fix

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has resolved technical issues affecting the 2025 Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) results. All candidates can now access their complete and accurate results through the official WAEC portal.

Performance Statistics

After the technical correction, the overall performance improved significantly:

• 62.9% of candidates achieved credit and above in at least five subjects, including English Language and Mathematics

This represents the official pass rate after the system glitch was fixed. The percentage reflects candidates who meet the minimum requirement for university admission and most employment opportunities in Nigeria.

How to Check Your 2025 WAEC Results

Follow these steps to access your results:

1. Visit www.waecdirect.org
2. Enter your Examination Number
3. Select 2025 as Examination Year
4. Choose "SCHOOL CANDIDATES" as Examination Type
5. Input your PIN and Serial Number (found on your result checker scratch card)
6. Click Submit to view your results

Important: Recheck Your Results

WAEC advises all candidates to recheck their results, even if you viewed them before. The technical fix affects "every previously released WAEC result," meaning earlier versions may have contained errors.

If you checked your results before August 5, 2025, verify them again to ensure you have the corrected version.

If You Don't Have a Result Checker PIN

You can purchase a WAEC result checker card:

• From accredited outlets nationwide
• Online through the WAEC portal
• Cost: approximately ₦2,500 per card

Each PIN can be used only once. Keep your examination number and PIN secure.

Understanding Your Results

Your WAEC result shows grades from A1 (excellent) to F9 (fail) for each subject. For university admission through JAMB, you typically need:

• Minimum of five credits in one sitting or two sittings
• Must include English Language
• Must include Mathematics
• Three other subjects relevant to your desired course

What If Your Results Are Withheld?

If your results show "withheld," contact WAEC immediately through:

• WAEC National Office in Lagos
• Your state WAEC office
• Email: [email protected]

Withheld results typically require investigation and may be released after verification.

Next Steps After Checking Results

• Apply for university/polytechnic: Use your results for Post-UTME screening
• Request result verification: Download your e-certificate for school fees payment or employment
• Retake if necessary: Register for WAEC private candidates if you need to improve grades

WAEC appreciates candidates' patience during the technical review period. The corrected results are now final and can be used for all official purposes.
