WAEC Introduces Resit Exams for WASSCE Candidates
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has announced a new opportunity for candidates to resit their West African Senior Secondary Certificate Examination (WASSCE) papers.
Starting January 2025, candidates who wish to improve their scores or retake failed subjects will have the chance to sit for the newly introduced WASSCE Private Candidate (PC1) exams.
Registration and Schedule
Speaking on JoyNews’ AM Show in Ghana, WAEC’s Head of Public Affairs, John Kapi, shared details about the development:
- Candidates can register online via WAEC’s website or at WAEC-accredited internet cafés.
- Registration closes on 8th January 2025.
- The resit exams are scheduled to take place between 24th January and 15th February 2025.
Kapi emphasized that this initiative aims to provide students a timely opportunity to improve their results without waiting an entire year.
Candidates whose results were canceled due to administrative reasons can participate in the resit, provided they have not been banned for examination malpractice.
