WAEC Introduces Resit Exams For Candidates by Bobloco(op): 6:10am On Jan 06, 2025
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has announced a new initiative, which will allow students to resit their WASSCE papers as early as January and February 2025.

This marks a significant shift from the previous system, where candidates had to wait for the next private exam cycle.

The Head of Public Affairs at WAEC, John Kapi, disclosed this while speaking on JoyNews’ AM Show in Ghana on Tuesday, December 31st.

He explained that the new programme, referred to as WASSCE PC1, provides a faster route for students to improve their grades.

Students who access their results now and realise they need to resit one or two papers have until 8th January to register online through our website or at WAEC-accredited internet cafés. The exams will take place from 24th January to 15th February 2025,” Mr Kapi stated.

According to him, to aid candidates in their preparations, WAEC plans to expedite the release of chief examiners’ reports, saying, “These reports will provide detailed feedback on where students may have gone wrong and how they can better approach their studies and the examination process.

“We’ve advertised this programme widely through banners, our website, and our results checker platform to ensure that both students and parents are aware,” Mr Kapi added.

He said students whose results have been cancelled are also eligible to sit the WASSCE PC1 exams, provided they have not been banned for some years for malpractice.

“For now, the exams will be conducted in regional capitals due to the limited number of candidates. Prospective participants are urged to complete their registration by the 8th of January to take advantage of this opportunity.”

WAEC, however, expressed optimism that this initiative will allow candidates to quickly improve their grades and qualify for the next cycle of admissions, avoiding a year-long delay in their academic progress.

I don't buy this idea

It will make most students lazy
Re: WAEC Introduces Resit Exams For Candidates by themanderon: 6:12pm On Jan 07, 2025
Excellent. It will save time for youths of today unlike when Waec was the defacto exam body and students may end up taking waec for 10 yrs looking for English or maths.

It's not. The more remedial opportunities within a shorter period the better.

This may be NEW in Ghana, but WAEC NIGERIA has been doing it for years now
Re: WAEC Introduces Resit Exams For Candidates by Nazgul:
I think it's a good development.

My department did this when we were going for our SIWES and also in final year. In my 300l, My course adviser told us that if you had a D or E in any year one course, that we can rewrite it. She told us that the new result would be submitted to exams and records and they would use it when computing your FCGPA. While the old one displaying your D or E would be removed.

It really helped so may of us boost out GP cos I remember rewriting one year one 3credit unit physics practical course in my final year. I had an E in year one, then had an A after retaking it.

If most departments can introduce this, it would really improve students grades.
