What is "waec result checker? Schools and private candidate"

paragraph
The "WAEC result checker" is an online space proveded by WAEC as a body to ensure students who participated in the WASSCE exam check their exam (private or schools). After the exam, the marking of scripts is handled by examiners appointed by WAEC. They are usually educationists who are familiar with the classroom situation and their identities are usually revealed to the public. Please be informed that the information available to you on the WAEC result checker (WAECDIRECT) are:
  1. WASSCE for school candidates results
  2. WASSCE for private candidates - First Series results
  3. WASSCE for private candidates - Second Series results

    What this means is that if you fall under the category of any of the three aforementioned then, you can use the WAECDIRECT service to check your result. It doesn't matter if you are a school candidate or a private candidate. You see, by default, WAEC usually make its result available 45 days after the last paper.

Information about WAEC(WASSCE) result checker pin, serial number, scratch card

paragraph
To make you informed about some information you must know before you check your result, I would like to consider the following headings below
paragraph
What is a e-PIN?
paragraph
Answer: The e-PIN stands for Electronic Personal Identification Number. In WAECDIRECT website, it is a unique 10-digit or 12-digit number that is required to check your result. The e-PIN enables direct access to a candidate's results via multiple channels. The e-PIN is found in a valid WAEC Voucher/scratch card
paragraph
Where can I buy an e-PIN?
paragraph
Answer: An Electronic PIN may be purchased at the National office of WAEC and at any of its Zonal and Branch Offices across Nigeria. From time to time it may become available at any other outlets so designated by WAEC. The reviewed price for the e-PIN is N1,500 although it is subject to change
paragraph
How many times can I check my results?
paragraph
Be informed that you can only check your result up to a maximum of 5 (five) times with the use of 1 (one) e-PIN. In order to check further after exhausting the allowed 5 (five) times, you will need to purchase another e-PIN which will entitle you to another 5 (five) result checks.
paragraph
Can I use one e-PIN to check more than one result?
paragraph
No! WAEC mentioned that may only use one e-PIN Voucher to check one result. To check another result of interest, you will require a new e-PIN Voucher. If you misuse a e-PIN Voucher by attempting to check another result different from the first one checked, you will be penalised as having used the e-PIN, and will be presented with the appropriate error message.
paragraph
can the Result checker e-PIN Voucher bought in the previous year be used to check result of the current year ?.
paragraph
A result checker e-PIN Voucher purchased in a previous year is still valid for use in the next year but note you can only use one e-PIN Voucher to check one result. To check another (different) result, you will require a new e-PIN Voucher
paragraph
I made a mistake by inputting a wrong exam number while trying to check my result and it displayed a result that is not mine. Can I use the same result checker e-PIN Voucher to check my result now that I have my correct exam number?.
paragraph
You can only use one e-PIN Voucher to check one result. To check another result of interest, you will require a new e-PIN Voucher. If you misuse an e-PIN Voucher by attempting to check another result different from yours, you will have to purchase another one to check your result.
