Has WAEC Announced the 2026 Results Release Date?

Not yet. WAEC does not release results on a fixed calendar date every year. The actual date depends on how long marking, moderation, and quality checks take for that specific exam series.

Understanding the WASSCE Grading System

WASSCE uses a 9-point grading scale. Here's how it breaks down:

  • A1: Excellent
  • B2, B3: Very Good / Good
  • C4, C5, C6: Credit
  • D7, E8: Pass
  • F9: Fail

A1 through C6 are credit passes, the range most universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education require, particularly in English Language and Mathematics. D7 and E8 are passing grades but don't count as credits for most admission requirements. Dial *713*7676# to buy your result checker voucher and see exactly which grade you scored in each subject.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Which date will the WASSCE 2026 results be released?
WAEC hasn't confirmed an official date yet. Dial *713*7676# for the latest update on release timing, and buy your result checker voucher in advance so you're ready the moment it happens.
Have the 2026 WASSCE results been released yet?
Not yet, as of the time of writing. Dial *713*7676# to check for the latest status and get your voucher ready in advance.
What is the pass mark for WASSCE 2026?
There's no single numeric "pass mark." WASSCE uses letter grades A1 to F9. A1 through C6 count as credit passes, D7 and E8 are passing grades without credit status, and F9 is a fail. Dial *713*7676# to buy your voucher and see your actual grades.
What score is A1 in WASSCE?
A1 is the highest possible grade on the WASSCE scale, meaning "Excellent." Dial *713*7676# to buy your result checker voucher and see exactly which grade you scored in each subject.
Is C6 a good grade in WAEC?
Yes, C6 is the lowest grade that still counts as a credit pass, the range most tertiary institutions require. It's a solid, usable result, though more competitive programs may ask for higher grades in specific subjects.
Is E8 a pass in WASSCE?
Yes, E8 is a passing grade, but it doesn't count as a credit pass. Many admission requirements specifically ask for credits (A1–C6), so an E8 in a required subject may not satisfy those requirements even though it's technically a pass.
What mark is D7 in WASSCE?
D7 is a passing grade, one level above E8 and one below C6. Like E8, it's a pass but not a credit, so it may not meet admission requirements that specifically ask for credit passes.
Is F9 accepted for university admission?
Generally no. F9 is a fail, and most university, polytechnic, and college of education programs require credit passes (A1–C6) in their specified subjects, so an F9 typically won't satisfy an admission requirement in that subject.
How is the WASSCE aggregate calculated, and is aggregate 24 good?
Aggregate is typically calculated by adding up the numeric grade values (1 for A1, up to 9 for F9) across a set number of best subjects, usually including required core subjects. The lower the total, the better. Whether a specific aggregate like 24 is "good" depends entirely on the program and institution's cutoff, so check the specific requirements for the course you're applying to rather than judging your aggregate in isolation.
Can I combine results from two WASSCE sittings?
In many cases, yes. Some institutions allow combining your best subject grades across two different WASSCE sittings for admission purposes, but this depends entirely on the specific institution and program's policy, so it's worth confirming directly with the admissions office you're applying to.
Is the WASSCE 2026 exam date the same as the results release date?
No, these are two different things. The exam sitting dates are set well in advance of the exams themselves, while the results release date depends on how long marking and moderation take afterward and is announced separately by WAEC once results are ready.
