How to Check 2026 WASSCE Results
By Obenewaa Rita · August 13, 2026
If you sat for the 2026 West African Senior School Certificate Examination, chances are you're already checking every WAEC-related page you can find. That's understandable, this result decides where you go next, academically. Here's exactly what to prepare and exactly what to do, from getting your result checker to seeing your grades on screen.
WHAT YOU'LL NEED FIRST
You can't check your result with just your index number. Before you start, make sure you have:
- Your index number, as printed on your exam registration slip
- A valid result checker voucher, a serial number and PIN from an approved e-voucher seller
- The right exam details on hand: WASSCE (School), 2026
- A phone or computer with internet access to load the results portal
Without the serial number and PIN from your voucher, the portal has nothing to show you , so that's the first thing to get.
STEP 1: GET YOUR WASSCE RESULT CHECKER VOUCHER
Dial *713*7676# from any phone on MTN, Telecel, or AirtelTigo. The shortcode runs 24/7 and this step doesn't need a data connection.
- Dial *713*7676# and choose the WASSCE Checker option
- Confirm the purchase (it costs GH₵ 30)
- Approve the Mobile Money payment prompt
- Your serial number and PIN land in an SMS within seconds
No SMS yet? Dial *713*7676# 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 feel free to grab yours now and use it whenever results actually go live. You can use the result checker up to 3 times to check your results anytime it is released.
Prefer not to dial? 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 in hand, open a browser and head to:
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:
- Index Number: your index number
- Examination Type: WASSCE School
- Examination Year: 2026
- Voucher Serial Number and PIN: from the SMS (the one you bought)
- Index Number: enter your index number again
- Examination Year: enter 2026 again
You will click Submit, then click Agree.
Once you click agree, your grades for each subject would 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 caffe for printing.
SO, WHEN ARE 2026 WASSCE RESULTS ACTUALLY COMING OUT?
At the time of writing, the 2026 WASSCE School results have not been released yet but you can dial *713*7676# to see the expected release date.
It's also worth buying your result checker serial number and pin ahead of time rather than waiting for the announcement: the portal gets slammed with traffic the moment results drop, and having your serial number and PIN ready means you can use it to access your results quickly.
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
- Buy your voucher ahead of time. You don't need to wait for the release to purchase one
- If the result checking 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
