WAEC to Delay 2024 WASSCE Results Until Key Events Unfold
The West African Examination Council (WAEC) is Expected to Delay 2024 WASSCE Results Until Key Events Unfold In December.
The release of the 2024 WASSCE results is expected in December 2024 for final-year students who sat for the WAEC-administered exam in Ghana. These results, once released, will enable students to complete their university admission applications online or apply for admission, though this process is not expected to happen immediately.
WAEC to Delay 2024 WASSCE Results: But what are the events that must occur before WAEC releases the 2024 WASSCE results?
As Ghana prepares for the much-anticipated December 7, 2024, elections, WAEC will not be able to release the results before the presidential and parliamentary polls on that date.
Additionally, WAEC will not release the 2024 WASSCE results for school candidates until after the results of the presidential elections are declared.
We project that the WASSCE results will not be announced until the elections are over and the Electoral Commission has declared the presidential results. WAEC is unlikely to release the results amidst the mixed emotions that typically follow elections (among both winners and losers).
However, once the post-election environment stabilizes, WAEC is expected to announce the release of the WASSCE results. Keep an eye on this portal for updates on the specific release date, which we anticipate will be within three days after the election results are declared.

When the results are released, students will generally fall into one of the following categories:
- Pass all subjects: Some students will pass all the subjects they sat for in the 2024 WASSCE.
- Fail one or more core subjects: Others may fail one or more core subjects.
- Fail one or more elective subjects: Some students will fail one or more elective subjects.
- Fail both core and elective subjects: A group of students may fail a combination of core and elective subjects.
- Subjects canceled or withheld: Some students may have their core, elective, or both categories of subjects canceled or withheld by WAEC.
