WAEC announces resit exams for students in 2025
The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has introduced a groundbreaking initiative that allows candidates to resit their WASSCE papers in January and February 2025, offering a quicker pathway to improve their grades.
Previously, students had to wait for the next private examination cycle to retake their papers. However, this new programme, known as WASSCE PC1, provides a more efficient alternative.
Announcing the development on JoyNews’ AM Show in Ghana on Tuesday, December 31, the Head of Public Affairs at WAEC, John Kapi, explained the details.
“Students who access their results now and realise they need to resit one or two papers have until 8th January to register online through our website or at WAEC-accredited internet cafés. The exams will take place from 24th January to 15th February 2025,” Mr Kapi stated.
To support students in their preparation, WAEC plans to expedite the release of chief examiner’s report. Mr Kapi added, “These reports will provide detailed feedback on where students may have gone wrong and how they can better approach their studies and the examination process.
“We’ve advertised this programme widely through banners, our website, and our results checker platform to ensure that both students and parents are aware,” he noted.

Students whose results were cancelled are also eligible to sit for the WASSCE PC1 exams, provided they have not been banned for malpractice.
“For now, the exams will be conducted in regional capitals due to the limited number of candidates. Prospective participants are urged to complete their registration by the 8th of January to take advantage of this opportunity,” Kapi added.
WAEC is optimistic that this initiative will help candidates quickly improve their grades and qualify for the next academic cycle, enabling them to avoid a year-long delay in their education journey.
