2 ways to check your BECE results

Once you have successfully purchased your result checker card, you can check your BECE results. There are two ways to do this:

Method #1: WAEC online portals

Here’s how to check your BECE results from the WAEC website:

1. Visit any of the official WAEC websites: eResults or WAEC Direct.

2. Enter your index number and confirm it.

Note: Remember to add zero “0” before your index number when checking your results.

3. Choose the Exam type, i.e., BECE (School).

4. Choose the year you wrote your BECE.

5. Enter your BECE results checker serial number and PIN.

6. Click Submit to view your results.

Your result will open in the same tab, as shown above.

To print, press “Ctrl+P” or “PRINT” at the bottom of your results and choose the printer you want to print to. You can also choose “Save as PDF” to save a soft copy on your phone or computer to share on WhatsApp.

Method #2: SMS or USSD code

Follow the steps below to check your BECE results using a USSD code.

1. Dial *944#.
2. Select option 2 to check for your results.
3. Follow the prompts carefully.

You’ll receive the results on your phone via SMS.

Note: Beware of scammers or fraudsters who may attempt to exploit you by charging fees to check your results. Any link other than the two provided is likely to be fraudulent.

How to check for BECE results as a private candidate?

If you’re a private candidate, you can check your results in the same way as public school candidates. Private candidates are those who took the BECE independently or re-sat the exams.

WAEC releases the results of both public school students and private candidates at the same time. To check your results, follow the steps above, but choose “BECE (Private)” for the Exam type.

FAQs

Does the result checker scratch card expire?

The BECE results checker voucher does not expire, so you can use it anytime.

How many times can I check my BECE results?

You can check your results up to three times with one scratch card or results checker. After that, it becomes invalid, and you’ll need to purchase a new one for additional checks.

Final Words

While the steps outlined above are simple and convenient, seek assistance from WAEC officials or school authorities if you encounter any issues when checking your results.
