Free WASSCE Results Checker: What You Need to Know
Many students eagerly await their West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) results and often search for ways to check their results for free. However, the reality is that checking your WASSCE results online is not free—it comes with a cost. Here’s everything you need to know about accessing your results and the options available.
Why Checking WASSCE Results Online Isn’t Free
WAEC (The West African Examinations Council) has implemented a secure system for students to check their results online. This process requires a voucher card, which contains:
- A Serial Number
- A PIN
These details allow candidates to check their results online for one index number. Each voucher provides three attempts to access the results. Once these attempts are exhausted, the same voucher cannot be reused—even for the same candidate.

How Much Does a WASSCE Results Checker Voucher Cost?
The cost of a WASSCE results checker voucher typically ranges between 15 Ghana Cedis and 20 Ghana Cedis, depending on where you purchase it.
- Where to Buy:
- WAEC-accredited centers
- Banks offering the service
- Mobile money platforms
Buying from banks or mobile money platforms is often the most convenient option, as it allows you to make payments digitally without the need to visit a physical location.
Can You Check Your Results for Free?
If you’re determined to access your results without paying, there is only one way: Wait for WAEC to submit the results to your school.
Here’s how it works:
- WAEC provides schools with a comprehensive report of their students’ performance.
- Once the report is available, you can visit your school and check your results from their records.
While this method is technically free, it comes with delays, as schools often receive the results after they are released online.
Why Is the System Not Free?
The small fee for checking results is used to maintain WAEC’s online platform and ensure the security and accuracy of the results. The voucher system helps prevent unauthorized access and provides a reliable way for candidates to view their scores.
Final Thoughts
While there’s no completely free way to check your WASSCE results online, the process is straightforward and affordable for most candidates. Purchasing a results checker voucher ensures quick access to your grades without delays.
For those who prefer not to pay, waiting for WAEC to send results to your school remains the only option—but it requires patience. Regardless of your choice, make sure to verify your results from a reliable source to avoid scams or misinformation.
