The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has officially opened registration for the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for Private Candidates, First Series.
This initiative provides a quicker opportunity for students seeking to improve their grades by allowing them to resit one or two papers without waiting for the next full examination cycle.
The registration deadline is Wednesday, January 8, 2025.
Prospective candidates are encouraged to visit the official WAEC website for detailed registration instructions and to complete the process at accredited internet cafés approved by the council.
The First Series of the examination will take place from January 24 to February 15, 2025. Candidates will be able to sit for various subjects under secure and standardized conditions, ensuring the integrity of the examination process.”
This new program represents a significant shift from the previous system, where students had to wait for the next full private exam cycle to improve their grades.
John Kapi, Head of Public Affairs at WAEC, in an interview with Joy News emphasized the significance of this new program, stating that it will provide students with a more efficient and timely opportunity to improve their academic performance.
