Feeling anxious and excited as you await your Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) results is natural. Unfortunately, there is no official announcement yet. But here’s everything we know so far and how to stay updated.

What is the 2024 BECE results release date?

On 19th October 2024, the West African Examination Council (WAEC) officially announced the release of the 2024 BECE provisional results for both school and private candidates.

Out of the 570,626 candidates who wrote the exam (569,236 school candidates and 1,390 private candidates), 400 candidates had subject results cancelled for bringing foreign materials to the exam hall. Another 42 had their entire results cancelled for other exam malpractices. 36 school candidates have their results withheld pending further investigations.

WAEC warns against result upgrade scams and confirms results can be authenticated. You can access results through your schools or by checking WAEC’s website.

How to stay updated on the BECE results release?

Here’s how you can keep up with all updates on your results:

  • Regularly visit the official websites of WAEC, Ministry of Education, and GES for announcements. You can also follow their social media pages.
  • Look out for updates on the social media channels of trusted news outlets. Additionally, you can regularly read through newspapers or watch the news for verified information.
  • You can also check for the 2024 BECE release date by dialling *790*024# and selecting option 4.

Where to buy a BECE results checker?

You’ll need a results checker to check your BECE results on the WAEC website. Fortunately, purchasing one is convenient and relatively affordable.

A BECE results checker costs GH₵ 14.00, and you can buy one on the WAEC website using any network’s mobile money. Each voucher has a serial number and a 12-digit PIN that you’ll need to access your results online.

Note: Although other vendors sell result checkers, we advise buying directly from WAEC’s website or official posts to ensure it is legitimate and avoid any issues.

FAQs

What can I do if I feel my results were unfairly graded?

If you believe your BECE results are incorrect, you can request a review of your scripts by WAEC at a cost. If you wrote the exams as a school candidate, only the head of your school or an authorised representative could request the review on your behalf. However, you can appeal the review directly if you took the exam as a private candidate. You must do this within 60 days of the release of the results.

Can I rewrite the BECE?

Yes, you can register to rewrite the BECE as a private candidate. You must provide your previously used index number and the year you wrote the BECE. Online registration opens from October to November, and the exam is usually conducted in the following year. Visit the WAEC private exam portal for information.

Conclusion

While waiting for your results can be exciting or even scary as you prepare for the next step in your education. Stay updated through verified sources and engage in productive activities to make the wait easier.
