Direct answer

Wrong exam type is the #1 “no results” after a valid PIN. School candidates must select WASSCE (School). NOVDEC/private must select Private.

WASSCE — Ghana 2026

Written for anyone seeing no results for candidate. Buy authorised checkers on Ewale *714*22# when you need a voucher. Check only on WAEC’s official portals.

Vital context for “WASSCE school vs private portal”

WAEC stores two candidacy paths. The voucher can be the same product family; the dropdown must match registration.

WASSCE checker facts that actually matter

School WASSCE results are checked on ghana.waecdirect.org with index number + Serial + PIN (Ewale WASSCE vouchers use a 12-digit PIN). Select WASSCE (School) unless you were registered as private. BECE’s eresults site will not show school WASSCE grades.

Grades run A1 (best) to F9. Many tertiary programmes look at three cores + three electives (English and Core Maths almost always sit in the core set). A checker does not print a certificate — it prints a results slip. Keep three uses for you, a parent, and an admission upload.

Buy a WASSCE checker on Ewale

  1. Dial *714*22# → 5 → 2 WASSCE / Nov-Dec.
  2. Pay with MTN MoMo, Telecel Cash, or AT Money.
  3. SMS: Serial + 12-digit PIN. Check on ghana.waecdirect.org.

Advice that actually helps

Look at how you registered. If you sat in a second-cycle school diet, it is School. If NOVDEC/private, Private. Try the correct type before buying another checker.

The expensive mistake: Buying three more PINs instead of switching School/Private.

After the grades are on the screen

When it loads, confirm name. Save PDF.

  • Year must match.
  • Index from that sitting.
  • BECE portal will never work here.

Protect the child and the voucher

  • Do not paste Serial + PIN in a class or church group.
  • Do not pay a site that is not ghana.waecdirect.org (or the matching official WAEC Ghana property).
  • Do not buy a second voucher until you have re-typed the first SMS and confirmed the exam type and year.
  • Schools should not harvest student PINs “for the office file.” The three uses belong to the candidate.
