Private Candidates who sat the 2026 First Series Computer Based West African Senior School Certificate Examination (CB WASSCE) can now access their results, following an announcement by the West African Examinations Council on Friday.

WAEC confirmed via its official X handle that results have been released and will be accessible to candidates within 12 hours of the announcement. Candidates are advised to check their results through official WAEC platforms.

The council described the prompt turnaround as a reflection of its commitment to improving service delivery through technology adoption and efficient examination processes, and acknowledged stakeholders for their cooperation in ensuring the examination was successfully conducted.

"The result of CB WASSCE for Private Candidates, 2026 First Series has been released. Candidates can access their results within the next 12 hours. Our thanks to all stakeholders for cooperating with us to achieve this feat," the council stated.

The CB WASSCE is conducted specifically for private candidates as part of WAEC's broader effort to modernise its examination systems and offer a more efficient testing experience outside the traditional school based sitting.

For private Candidates who have been awaiting these results, whether to meet University admission requirements, satisfy employer conditions, or simply complete a qualification they were unable to finish through the conventional route, the release marks a significant moment. Candidates who are dissatisfied with any result should familiarise themselves with WAEC's result query process and act within the stipulated timeframe.
