WASSCE Results Upgrading: Total Scam Or Something Worth Your Money?

A Ghana Education News Publication On WASSCE Results Upgrading – Is Upgrading Of WASSCE Results A Scam Or Not?

The West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) is an external examination written by all final year senior high school students in West Africa. WAEC, organizes the WASSCE examinations each year for all West African final year SHS students.

In the past years, the WASSCE exams have been written on different dates in Ghana. This was because of the pandemic the world faced from March 2020, which led to several lockdowns in the world. Although the pandemic is ‘partially over’, Ghana will be writing alone this year too.

When Will The 2024 WASSCE Begin?

According to WAEC Ghana, and the Ghana Education Service (GES), the 2024 WASSCE is set to begin on, Monday, 5th August to Friday, 27th September 2024. This is the official and confirmed date for the 2024 WASSCE.

Has The Official 2024 WASSCE Timetable Been Released?

As of April 28th 2024, WAEC Ghana have not released any official 2024 WASSCE timetable for Ghana yet. Any viral or trending timetable for the 2024 WASSCE is fake, and we urge all candidates to ignore. Education News Consult and its affiliates will update all candidates, teachers, headmasters and parents on the official 2024 WASSCE timetable once it’s released by WAEC Ghana.

When Will The 2024 WASSCE Timetable Be Released?

Education News Consult predicts the release of the 2024 WASSCE timetable in early May or late May. Hence, we urge all candidates to remain calm and continue their revision towards their final examinations.

What Will Be The First Paper To Write?

Over the years, Oral English has been the first practical paper to be written, followed by Government theory and objectives. Towards the anticipation of the 2024 WASSCE timetable, we predict the same first two papers.

Grading System For The 2024 WASSCE

There isn’t a constant grading system used in marking WASSCE papers. At times, WAEC Ghana tend to raise the marking scheme if there are multiple confirmed reports of examination malpractices.

Normally, the grading system used is: 

How Important Are The Core Subjects?

All WASSCE candidates hoping to gain entry to the University should avoid D7, E8, and an F9 in any of the core subjects. When a candidate attains a D7 in any of the core subjects, he or she will not gain entry into any public tertiary institution. The only option at hand will be resitting for the WASSCE papers again or that particular core subject.

When Will The 2024 WASSCE Results Be Released?

The WASSCE results are released 45 days after the last paper. According to the official date released, the predicted date for the release of the 2024 WASSCE results will be Monday, 11th November 2024.

This is just the predicted date for the release of the yet to be written 2024 WASSCE results.

WASSCE Results Upgrading – Is It Real?

Now to the actual deal of the context, WASSCE results upgrading. Most candidates tend to fall prey for ‘hungry’ scammers on results upgrading. These scammers promise them results upgrading, thus if you obtained a D7 in English Language he will change to at least a B3 or an A1. They then tend to charge these novice and impatient candidates high sum of money in order to forge a document which in the long run harm the student.

In case a candidate forges his or her result and applies for admission at any tertiary institution, he or she will be caught. All tertiary institutions directly receive the official results of any applicant from WAEC Ghana.

WASSCE results upgrading is a total scam and hence, we strongly advise every candidate to desist from such unethical and illegal act.

As the 2024 WASSCE approaches, we wish all candidates the very best of luck.
