2025 WASSCE Provisional Results — What You Need to Know
WAEC has released the provisional results of the 2025 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for school candidates. The results show a sharp decline in performance in core subjects and include cancellations and withholdings due to irregularities.
Quick Insight:
Many students failed or had results cancelled due to exam malpractice, and overall pass rates in key subjects dropped significantly — raising concerns about exam integrity and education quality this year.
1. Performance Drop in Core Subjects
• In Core Mathematics, only about **48.7%** of candidates secured a pass grade (A1–C6). This is a steep decline compared with previous years.
• For Social Studies and other core subjects, pass rates also fell noticeably, indicating widespread academic underperformance in foundational courses.
2. Massive Failures & Cancellations
• Nearly **one in four candidates** who sat for Core Mathematics failed outright (Grade F9).
• Hundreds of candidates had their subject results cancelled for bringing unauthorized materials into exam halls.
• Some had their entire exam results annulled due to possession of mobile phones during the exams.
3. Sanctions & Withheld Results Over Malpractice
• Over **6,000 subject results** were cancelled because of malpractice such as unauthorized materials.
• Several hundred full results were cancelled or withheld due to serious offences like phone possession or collusion.
• Some schools — under investigation for collusion — had results withheld entirely pending probe outcomes.
Final Thoughts
The 2025 WASSCE provisional results reveal troubling trends: falling academic performance and a significant rise in exam malpractice. Students, parents, and educators should carefully review results and stay alert for final updates — especially if results were cancelled or withheld. This is a wake-up call for stronger exam integrity and better academic support.
Tip: If your result was cancelled or withheld — contact your school or WAEC as soon as possible. For those who passed, double-check core subject results before applying for further studies.
