Dial *899*550# to check when the 2026 WASSCE results will be released, buy a Results Checker, or check your results once they are available.

Candidates who sat for the 2026 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) in Ghana may be close to receiving their results following the latest stage of WAEC's post-examination processes.

The Ghana Examination Committee has reportedly concluded a major review of examination irregularities and other matters relating to the 2026 WASSCE for School Candidates.

Candidates can also dial *899*550# to check updates on the release, purchase a WASSCE Results Checker and access their results once they are published.

Examination Committee Completes Review

The Ghana Examination Committee met in Accra on 26 August 2026 as part of the processes preceding the release of the WASSCE results.

The committee plays an important role in considering reported cases of examination malpractice, suspected collusion, breaches of examination rules and other irregularities recorded during the examination.

Its decisions help determine which results can be released and which may have to be withheld, cancelled or subjected to further investigation.

The conclusion of this stage is therefore significant for candidates waiting for their results.

What Happens Before WASSCE Results Are Released?

The end of marking does not automatically mean results can be published immediately.

After scripts have been marked, WAEC undertakes several processes involving the compilation of scores, grading, verification and investigation of reported irregularities.

Cases involving candidates or examination centres may also have to be reviewed before a final decision is made.

Once these processes are completed, WAEC can proceed with the release of provisional results for candidates whose results are not affected by outstanding investigations.

When Will the 2026 WASSCE Results Be Released?

WAEC has not announced a specific release date for the 2026 WASSCE School Candidates results.

However, the completion of the Examination Committee's review indicates that the process has moved closer to the final release stage.

Candidates who want to follow the latest updates can dial *899*550# to check the current status of the results and find out when they are released.

How to Buy a 2026 WASSCE Results Checker

Candidates who prefer to check their results through the WAEC results portal will need a Results Checker containing a Serial Number and PIN.

A checker can be purchased through *899*550#.

Dial *899*550#

Select the WASSCE Results Checker option

Follow the payment instructions

Approve the Mobile Money transaction

Receive the Results Checker Serial Number and PIN

Candidates can purchase the checker ahead of the release and keep the details safely until the results become available.

How to Check the 2026 WASSCE Results

Once the results are released, candidates can also use *899*550# to check their WASSCE results directly from their phones.

Alternatively, candidates who purchase a Results Checker can use the Serial Number and PIN to access their results through the WAEC results portal.

Candidates will generally need their:

10-digit Index Number

Examination year, which is 2026

Examination type

Results Checker Serial Number

Results Checker PIN

What Withheld or Cancelled Results Mean

Not every candidate may receive a complete result immediately after the general release.

Where WAEC is investigating suspected examination malpractice or another irregularity, the affected subject or candidate's entire result may be withheld pending a final decision.

Depending on the findings, the result may later be released or cancelled.

Candidates whose results are affected should wait for communication from WAEC rather than assuming that an inability to access a particular subject means there is a technical problem.

Candidates Advised to Prepare for Results Release

With the latest review process reportedly concluded, attention is now turning to when WAEC will publish the 2026 WASSCE results.

Candidates can dial *899*550# to check release updates, buy a WASSCE Results Checker, or check their results directly once WAEC makes them available.

The exact release date, however, will only be confirmed when WAEC announces that the 2026 WASSCE School Candidates results are available.
