The West African Examinations Council has released the results of the 2026 Computer-Based WASSCE for private candidates, reporting a modest improvement in performance.
A total of 10,480 candidates sat for the exam conducted between January 28 and February 14 across 166 centres nationwide.
According to WAEC, 8,418 candidates, representing 80.32%, have had their results fully released, while 2,062 candidates still have some subjects being processed due to errors linked to them.
The council said 32.72% of candidates obtained credits in at least five subjects, including English and Mathematics — up from 26.96% in 2025 and 30.95% in 2024.
Another 43.87% secured five credits with or without the core subjects.
WAEC also revealed that 75 candidates had their results withheld over alleged examination malpractice, with investigations ongoing.
Candidates have been advised to check their results online and access digital certificates via the official WAEC platform.
