Step 1: Get Your WAEC Scratch Card

Before you can check your WAEC result, you need a WAEC scratch card. This card has a unique PIN and serial number that you’ll use to access your results. You can buy the scratch card from a bank, WAEC office, or online.

Step 2: Visit the WAEC Result Checker Website

Once you have your scratch card, open the browser on your phone and go to the official WAEC result-checking website at  http://www.waecdirect.org.

On the website, you’ll see a form asking for some information. Here’s what you need to fill in:

• Examination Number: This is the 10-digit number on your exam slip.
• Examination Year: Select the year you took the exam.
• Examination Type: Choose either “School Candidate Result” or “Private Candidate Result.”
• PIN: Enter the PIN from your scratch card.
• Serial Number: Enter the serial number from your scratch card.

Step 4: Check Your Result

After filling in all the required details, click the “Submit” button. Your result should appear on the screen in a few seconds. You can print it out if you need a hard copy, or save it on your phone for later.

What If You Don’t Have a Scratch Card?

If you don’t have a scratch card, you can still get your WAEC result by using the SMS method. Here’s how:

1. Open the SMS app on your phone.
