The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has officially announced the release of the updated 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results for school candidates.
Fresh figures released by the exam body show that 1,239,884 candidates. 62.9% of the 1,969,313 students who sat for the exams now have credit passes in at least five subjects, including English Language and Mathematics.
This is a dramatic improvement from the initial 754,545 candidates (38.32%) earlier reported to have met the requirement.
According to WAEC, the surge came after a review uncovered errors in the marking of serialized objective questions, which had distorted the original computation of results.
Candidates are advised to visit the Council’s result portal to check their performance.
