Waec Announce official Date to release 2018 Waec Result

The general public is notified that West African
Examination Council (WAEC) is about to officially release the
results of its 1,559,162 candidates who sat for their 2018
WASSCE
exams. Today, I am proud to inform you that there has
been an improvement in the number of students who
passed this year when compared to the last years.
WAEC made it known via their twitter account that
candidates will be able to access their results on the
WAEC official website. We were informed that out of a
total of 1,567,016 candidates who registered for the
exams, only 1,559,162 sat for it.
From this we have reason to rejoice because of the
1,559,162 candidates, 923,486 secured at least five
credits which include English Language and Mathematics.
From our calculations, that’s a tremendous increase of
59.23%, when rounded off and compared to the last
year’s 52.9% and the previous year of 38.7% who passed.
It’s safe to say that over time there will be an even greater
percentage increase in the number of students who will
pass. With continuous hard work, dedication,
determination, great training from their qualified teachers
and the support of their community and loved ones, I see
no reason for my assumption to be disproved.
The Head of WAEC, Mr. Olu Adenipekun has been
forthcoming in providing us with all the necessary
information to feed our curiosities and concerns.
He continued to speak proudly by listing percentages for
us. Among the list of percentages he gave us, he made us
aware of the following:
● 69.94 percent of candidates, which represents 1,084,214
individuals, secured for themselves at least six subjects
with credits and above.
● 87.05 percent of the candidates, which represents
1,243,772 individuals, secured for themselves at least four
subjects with credits and higher.
● 92.44 percent of the candidates which represents
1,436,024 individuals, secured for themselves at least
three subjects with credits and higher.
● And finally 95.59 percent of candidates which represents
1,490,356 individuals, secured for themselves at least two
subjects with credits and higher.
To our dismay, we must regretfully inform you that not all
students have received their marks. This is because 5.64
percent of the results experienced errors that are either
due to writing or registration problems. News also
circulated that some students may have cheated in their
exams especially St. Peters SHS and Okuapemman SHS. Such
allegations are currently under investigation.
The outcome of these allegations will be disclosed with
the respective schools from the relevant committee in
short order.
Congratulations
to all 2018 Candidates for a successful pass in their
Examinations. The results will be officially released on
Thursday 5th,July at exactly 7:30 am. You can now buy your
WAEC Results Checker at every Post Office and Bank within
your locality.
Thank You.
