- Be sure there is no space in the message.
- Wait for your result to be delivered to your phone via SMS.
Note:
- Charges may apply for the SMS method.
- The WAEC scratch card can only be used 5 times for one candidate.
Things to Keep in Mind
- Scams: Be cautious of websites and individuals who may try to exploit those looking to check their results by posing as official WAEC resources.
- Issues: If you have issues checking your results or if you notice any discrepancies in your results, it is best to contact WAEC directly through their official channels.
Remember to verify the specific details from your country’s WAEC website or contact your examination center for precise information, as the methods or website URLs may vary.
