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.
