WAEC Introduces Resit Exams For WASSCE Candidates

In a groundbreaking move, the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has introduced a new initiative allowing students to resit their failed West African Senior Secondary Examinations (WASSCE) papers as early as January and February 2025.

This significant shift eliminates the traditional wait for the next private exam cycle, enabling students to improve their grades and progress academically without delays.

According to John Kapi, Head of Public Affairs at WAEC, “Students who access their results now and realise they need to resit one or two papers have until 8th January to register online through our website or at WAEC-accredited internet cafés. The exams will take place from 24th January to 15th February 2025.”

Kapi, in a chat with JoyNews’ AM show on Tuesday, December 31st, emphasized that students whose results have been cancelled are also eligible to sit the WASSCE PC1 exams, provided they have not been banned for some years for malpractice.

Additionally, WAEC plans to expedite the release of chief examiners’ reports to aid candidates in their preparations.

“These reports will provide detailed feedback on where students may have gone wrong and how they can better approach their studies and the examination process,” Kapi added.

The exams will initially be conducted in regional capitals due to the limited number of candidates. Prospective participants are urged to complete their registration by January 8 to take advantage of this opportunity.

This initiative is a timely solution for students to enhance their results and avoid setbacks in their academic journey.

As Kapi noted, “This initiative offers students a timely opportunity to improve their grades and maintain academic progression.”
