West African Examination Council (WAEC) has been in the business of assessing School Candidates and Private Candidates for years. For any students to gain admission into any higher institution in Nigeria, the candidates must have sat for West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) or Neco Examination.
Meanwhile, the whole point of this article is to teach Candidates who have successfully sat for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE), otherwise known as WAEC Exam, on how to check their WAEC Results Online.
It is also important to mention that WAEC functions in about 5 English-speaking West African countries, they are Nigeria, Liberia, Ghana, Gambia, and Sierra Leone with its headquarter in Accra, Ghana. Therefore, we will also be disclosing how you can check your WAEC results in any of these English Speaking West African countries.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE CHECKING YOUR WAEC RESULT
As a student who dreams of higher institution after secondary school, understand that you are just starting. Passing the WAEC exam is just the first step, you will still need to sit for the Jamb examination and write a post utme exam which you are expected to pass. To be admitted into any Post Secondary School of your choice, you have got to give it everything as competition is now fierce. In less than an hour after sitting your Jamb CBT examination, you should be able to check your Jamb result, this will prepare you for the next step.
Also, there is this rumour that WAEC result can be upgraded which is entirely false. You will only be duped of your money and time; if at all you do not meet acceptable standards, the best you can do for yourself is to prepare better for the next coming internal or external examination. The West African Examination Board (WAEC) and National Examination Council (NECO) hold at least 2 to 4 exams every year, giving you ample time to meet up with the requirements needed to gain admission into the university, polytechnic or college of education. Meanwhile, colleges of education are always mild with their admission requirements.
Also, to guide against loss of slip, immediately you print out your WAEC result, save a copy of your slip to your email address or attach to any file hosting app/website such as dropbox or google drive. However, a single WAEC e-pin would give you about 5 shots to check just one WAEC result. To purchase the WAEC e-pin, you will need to go to any WAEC office or authorised outlets.
Lastly, if you have any issue while checking your WAEC exam, you can take it up with the principal of the school you registered or visit any of their offices in Nigeria, Ghana, Liberia, Sierra Leone, or Gambia. The West Africa Examination Board Staffs would be able to advise you accordingly.
