Thousands of candidates and parents across Ghana eagerly wait each year for the release of the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) results. Once the results are released by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC), candidates can check them online using the official WAEC results portal.
If you are wondering how to check your BECE results, this guide explains the entire process from purchasing a result checker to printing your result slip and selecting your preferred Senior High School.
Step 1: Purchase an Official WAEC Result Checker
Before you can access your BECE results, you must purchase an official WAEC Result Checker Voucher, which contains a Serial Number and PIN needed to access the portal.
Candidates can buy the voucher from any WAEC office nationwide. As of 2026, the official price at WAEC offices is GH¢15.00. However, some authorised retailers and vendors may charge a slightly higher amount depending on their service fees.
Keep the voucher safe because the Serial Number and PIN are required to check your results.
Step 2: Visit the Official WAEC Results Portal
Once you have your voucher, open your web browser and visit the official WAEC e-Results portal: WAEC eResults Portal
On the portal, enter the required information:
- Your BECE Index Number
- Confirm your Index Number
- Select the examination type (BECE School or BECE Private)
- Select the examination year
- Enter the Serial Number from your voucher
- Enter the PIN exactly as it appears on the voucher
Carefully review all the information before clicking the Submit button. If the details are correct, your results will be displayed on the screen within a few seconds.
Step 3: Print or Save Your Results
After your results appear, it is advisable to print a hard copy for future use. You can also save a PDF copy or take a screenshot for reference.
The printed result slip may be required during the Senior High School admission process or for other educational purposes.
Step 4: Select Your Senior High School
After confirming your results, candidates who qualify can proceed with the Senior High School placement process through the Ghana Education Service’s Computerised School Selection and Placement System (CSSPS).
Candidates should follow the instructions provided by the Ghana Education Service to confirm or access their school placement once the placement portal becomes available.
Important Tips
- Buy your result checker only from WAEC offices or authorised vendors.
- Enter your Index Number, Serial Number and PIN exactly as they appear.
- Keep your voucher until you have completed all admission processes.
- Print at least one copy of your result slip for your records.
- If the portal is slow, especially on the first day of release, wait a few minutes and try again later as heavy traffic may affect loading times.
