2024 WAEC Results: Common Issues and Solutions
Checking WAEC results can sometimes be tricky, and students may face a few common hiccups. Here’s a simple guide to help you navigate through the process smoothly, so you can get your results without any stress.
One of the usual problems is entering the wrong WAEC Examination Number. Even a tiny mistake can stop you from seeing your results. Always double-check your examination number against your Statement of Entry (SCE) document. If you’ve lost the SCE, don’t hesitate to reach out to your school for help.
Another issue might be with the e-PIN voucher. If your PIN is incorrect or invalid, you’ll get an error message. To avoid this, make sure you purchase your e-PIN from an authorized vendor and enter it correctly. If your PIN has been used up, buying a new one could solve the problem. Should the issue persist despite using the correct PIN, contacting WAEC’s support service is the next step.
Poor internet connectivity can also create problems when trying to check results. If your connection is weak, you might find that the results page doesn’t load. A good tip is to ensure a stable internet before accessing the WAEC results portal. Alternatively, you can check your results via SMS, which often works better in unstable network conditions.
Choosing the wrong exam year can lead to getting the wrong results. Always select “2024” on the results checker page. If you’re using SMS, ensure that the year is correctly formatted in your message.
Sometimes candidates might even find that some subjects are missing from their results. In such cases, it’s best to contact your school or WAEC office immediately, armed with your examination details to help expedite the process.
If you encounter a “Results Not Found” message, don’t panic. This could be due to processing delays or technical issues. Give it some time and try again. If the problem doesn’t go away, it’s advisable to visit your school or WAEC office for assistance.
In cases where candidates notice that they’ve received an F9 in all subjects, it’s essential to report this to your school or WAEC office quickly. It could be a mistake, and they may review your exam scripts or results processing.
