Mistakes Made while Checking Result on WAEC Portal
Below are some mistakes made when checking results on WAEC portal:
1. Choosing the Wrong Year
Immediately some click on the submit button, it displays another candidate result to them here is the cause. Now, two candidates might share the same examination but there will surely be different and that is the year.
Let’s take for instance. Your examination number is 46***** and you did your exam in 2022. While checking your result, you selected 2020 as the year of the exam.
Do not be surprised it might show up in another candidate’s result. When checking your result, always put the year into consideration.
2. Exam Type
You will see a drop-down menu on the portal to select the exam you sat for. Because of the name used to tag it, many can’t differentiate. We have both school candidates and private candidates in the option.
Some might say school candidates are those who did theirs in a government school. Likewise, private candidates are those who registered and sat in a private school for their exams.
Let me just clarify that.
The West Africa Examination Council allows two main examinations that we know mostly to be WAEC and GCE.
Those who have registered for WAEC in May/June are those who have been recognized as a candidate for the school. Those who participated in GCE are known to be private candidates. Please note that, to avoid complaints about your result.
