The new initiative allows candidates to resit specific papers as early as January and February 2025, providing a faster pathway to improve their results.
Speaking on JoyNews’ AM Show in Ghana on Sunday, WAEC’s Head of Public Affairs, John Kapi, confirmed the development.
“Students who access their results now and realise they need to resit one or two papers have until January 8 to register online via our website or at WAEC-accredited internet cafés,” Kapi explained.
He added that the resit examinations, officially called WASSCE PC1, are scheduled to take place between January 24 and February 15, 2025.
Kapi also clarified that students whose results were canceled due to issues unrelated to malpractice are eligible to participate. However, candidates banned for malpractice remain ineligible.
The move is expected to provide students with greater flexibility and quicker opportunities to achieve academic success.
