WAEC Introduces WASSCE PC1: A Second Chance for Students

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) is shaking things up with the introduction of the WASSCE PC1. This new program is designed to give students a faster route to improving their grades if they didn’t get the results they were hoping for. No more waiting an entire year to retake exams, this is a game changer!

Key Benefits of WASSCE PC1

The Head of Public Affairs at WAEC, John Kapi, explained that this new initiative is all about helping students move forward quickly. The WASSCE PC1 exams will be held from January 24 to February 15, 2025. Students who know they need to resit one or two papers have a short time to register online or at WAEC-accredited internet cafés. The deadline to register is January 8th!

How to Prepare and Register

WAEC isn’t just throwing this new program out there and leaving students hanging. They are also working on releasing chief examiners’ reports sooner than usual. These reports will offer a detailed breakdown of what students did well and what areas need improvement. Think of it as having a cheat sheet for the exam.

Who is Eligible for WASSCE PC1?

If you were unable to achieve the desired scores in your previous WASSCE, this is for you. Even if your results were cancelled due to irregularities, you might still be eligible provided you haven’t been banned from future exams. The exams will be held in regional capitals to accommodate the expected number of students.

Don’t Miss the Deadline!

Students are strongly advised to complete their registration before the deadline on January 8th to take advantage of this new opportunity. Remember, this is a chance to avoid a year-long delay and move forward with your academic goals sooner!

Don’t forget! You have to register by January 8, 2025, either on the WAEC website or through a WAEC accredited internet cafe.
