What does it mean when WAEC held/witheld results?
What does it mean to have outstanding in some subjects in WAEC result?
What does it mean to be replied by WAEC server with ‘No Result For This Candidate in the specified year‘?

Some candidates were shown one of the tags above in the course of checking their WAEC Result Online. We have decided to define these terms, so that candidates will be able to know where they fall in and the probability of getting their results released.

MEANING OF WITHHELD WAEC RESULT
Possibility of release: Slim

This occurs when almost all the candidates in a particular centre had same grade. WAEC will further investigate the result. If truly the candidates engaged in any form of malpractice during the exam, such results would be seized and not released. But if reverse is the case, they would be released.

MEANING OF HELD WAEC RESULT
Possibility of release: Slim

Almost the same thing with withheld. Held result mostly occur when a written remark is made on a candidate answer booklet relating to malpractice and other examination offences.

MEANING OF OUTSTANDING IN WAEC RESULT
Possibility of release: Medium

Outstanding in some subject(s) mostly occur when a student is recorded as present in exams, but the mark on the subject(s) are not concluded. It can also be cause by extra answer sheet. i.e. when not properly attached or some other factors.

MEANING OF ‘NO RESULT FOR THIS CANDIDATE IN THE SPECIFIED YEAR‘ IN WAEC RESULT
Possibility of release: Slim

This often happened to candidates that registered with special centres.

If you are not guilty of any examination offences and your result shows any of the tags stated above, there is high possibility of release.

bro... What about this? I did waec long ago and since I'm the best artist in school, i did brilliantly well in my fine arts. Both the textile designing, pencil sketching and paper obj. So much so that the invigilators were commending my work before they collected it. And I also answered to my name when the register was called... That verified that I was a bonafied fine arts student scheduled to write the exam.... Fast forward, some months later, result came out and I didn't find any fine arts result...... Out of the nine subjects offered, only 8 was released. Fine arts was excluded. Can you just tell me why?

Ok

T

Thanks a lot for this insight. I know someone who just checked hers yesterday and saw one outstanding subject but smashed the rest. We are so happy for her. Let me now go and tell her that she's so safe.

Tired of this WAEC news already.

Methinks the unbelievable outstanding results in this WAEC is due to exam malpractice. I heard some question papers were leaked and most of the students smuggled expo into their exam halls. So if your sister have got 9 As in her WAEC, just chill, it might not be her brains.

Sometimes it takes a lot of years Buh they will eventually

We are in WAEC result release and showing/flexing season.

Thanks Op for this.

all these things were caused by exam malpractice
