The West African Examinations Council has released the 2026 Ghana WASSCE results, and candidates across the country can now check their grades. If you sat for this year's West African Senior School Certificate Examination, here is exactly how to see your results today, starting with the shortcode you need to buy your result checker voucher.

Quick answer: Dial the *713*7676# shortcode on MTN, Telecel, or AirtelTigo to buy a WASSCE result checker voucher (GH₵ 30), your serial number and PIN arrive by SMS within seconds, and you use them at ghana.waecdirect.org to see your grades.

The 2026 WASSCE Results Are Out: Here's What To Do First

Now that results are released, traffic to the checking portal spikes fast. The quickest way to beat the rush is the *713*7676# shortcode, which works on any phone and does not need a data connection to purchase your voucher.

1. Your index number, as printed on your exam registration slip
2. A valid result checker voucher, a serial number and PIN, bought through the *713*7676# shortcode or online
3. The right exam details on hand: WASSCE (School), 2026
4. A phone or computer with internet access to load the results portal

Step 1: Dial the Shortcode to Get Your Result Checker Voucher

The *713*7676# shortcode is the fastest route to your voucher now that results are live. It runs 24/7 on MTN, Telecel, and AirtelTigo.

1. Dial the *713*7676# shortcode and choose the WASSCE Checker option
2. Confirm the purchase (it costs GH₵ 30)
3. Approve the Mobile Money payment prompt
4. Your serial number and PIN land in an SMS within seconds

No SMS yet? Dial the *713*7676# shortcode again and pick option 3 to pull up your voucher details without paying a second time. One voucher covers up to three checks on the same index number, so you can check again later if you need to. Prefer not to dial the shortcode? You can buy the same voucher online through the checker page on checkerpin.com/checkers.

Step 2: Go to the Official WAEC Portal

With your voucher details from the shortcode in hand, open a browser and head to:

ghana.waecdirect.org

Stick to this domain only. Results season brings out a wave of lookalike sites, and this is the one WAEC actually recognises for Ghana.

Step 3: Log In and See Your Grades

On the portal, you'll be asked to fill in:

1. Index Number: your index number
2. Examination Type: WASSCE School
3. Examination Year: 2026
4. Voucher Serial Number and PIN: from the SMS the shortcode sent you
5. Index Number: enter your index number again
6. Examination Year: enter 2026 again

Click Submit, then click Agree. Once you click Agree, your grades for each subject load on the next page. From there, click Print to download the softcopy, and if you need a hard copy, take the softcopy to a cafe for printing.

Why the Shortcode Is the Fastest Way to Check Right Now

With results freshly released, the WAEC portal gets slammed with traffic in the first hours and days. Getting your voucher through the *713*7676# shortcode ahead of logging in means you are not stuck trying to buy a voucher and load the portal at the same time. Dial the shortcode first, have your serial number and PIN ready, then go straight to ghana.waecdirect.org.

What the Grades Mean

WASSCE grades run from A1 (Excellent) down to F9 (Fail). A1 through C6 count as credit passes, the range most universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education ask for, particularly in English Language and Mathematics. If a grade comes back lower than you expected, talk to your school's exams officer about your options, including remarking where it applies.

A Few Things to Keep in Mind

• Use the *713*7676# shortcode to get your voucher before you try to log in, not after
• If the portal feels slow right after release, don't keep refreshing, wait 10 to 15 minutes and try again
• Recheck your index number before hitting Submit and Agree, a single wrong digit is the most common reason results don't show
• Keep your serial number and PIN to yourself, and only ever enter them on ghana.waecdirect.org

The 2026 WASSCE results are released. Dial the *713*7676# shortcode now, or buy your voucher online at checkerpin.com/checkers, then head straight to ghana.waecdirect.org to see your grades.
