My result is showing “Withheld” or “Outstanding.” What does this mean?
- Withheld Results: This usually indicates that WAEC is investigating a suspected case of examination malpractice or an administrative anomaly related to your script or examination center. These results are typically released once investigations are concluded and a decision is made.
- Outstanding Results: This often means that some of your results are still being processed or verified. It could be due to issues with continuous assessment scores, practical exams, or other data. These are usually released later. In both cases, it’s advised to regularly check the portal and/or contact your school (for school candidates) or the nearest WAEC office for updates.
I’m having trouble checking my result (e.g., invalid PIN/Serial, page not loading). What should I do?

- Internet Connection: Ensure you have a stable and strong internet connection.
- Browser Issues: Clear your browser’s cache and cookies. Try using a different web browser (e.g., Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge) or even a different device.
