The West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) is a standardized test administered by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC). It is designed for students in their third year of Senior High School in West Africa and also for private candidates. The primary purposes of the WASSCE are selection for tertiary education and certification.

The examination is conducted twice a year, typically in May/June for school candidates and in September/October for private candidates. For school candidates, registration usually occurs between September and November. Schools are responsible for registering their candidates and uploading their entry data online. Entry documents, along with evidence of payment, are submitted to the Council’s office. Private candidates can register online between February and May.

WASSCE offers a wide range of subjects categorized into core, elective, and optional subjects. Core subjects include English Language, Integrated Science, Mathematics (Core), and Social Studies. Elective subjects vary across different programs such as Agricultural, Business, Technical, Vocational, General Arts, and General Science.

Results are typically released in July to allow successful candidates to proceed to tertiary institutions at the beginning of the academic year. Results are sent to participating schools, and candidates can also check them online. Scripts are kept for three months after the release of results, during which a review can be requested for a fee. However, reviews are only allowed at the instance of the Head of school or an accredited representative.

Certificates are sent to schools for collection by individual candidates. Replacement of lost or damaged certificates is not done as certificates are produced only once. Candidates who lose their certificates may confirm their results to prospective employers and educational institutions. They can also request attestation of their results.

Detailed information about the examination can be obtained from the Senior Deputy Registrar/Head of Test Development Division or the Senior Deputy Registrar/Head of Test Administration Division. Overall, the WASSCE plays a crucial role in assessing the academic achievements of students in West Africa and serves as a gateway to higher education and various career opportunities.
