How to Check Your BECE Results (2025 Guide)

Every year, thousands of Junior High School (JHS) students across Ghana sit for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE). Once the exams are over, the next big moment everyone waits for is the release of the results. If you’ve just completed your BECE, checking your results is probably the most exciting and nerve-wracking step. The good news is that the process is simple, and you can do it right from your phone or computer.

In this article, I’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of checking your BECE results online.

What You Need Before Checking Your Results

To check your BECE results successfully, make sure you have the following:

1. A Scratch Card (WAEC Results Checker Voucher)

   • You can buy this at most internet cafés, post offices, banks, or even online through mobile money.

   • Each card has a unique PIN and Serial Number.

2. A Stable Internet Connection

   • You’ll need this to access the WAEC results portal.

3. Your Index Number

   • This is the number you used during the examination.

Steps to Check Your BECE Results Online

Follow these simple steps:

1. Visit the WAEC Results Portal
   Go to  https://eresults.waecgh.org

2. Enter Your Index Number
   Carefully type in your 10-digit index number. Don’t mix it up with your school’s code.

3. Select Examination Type
   Choose BECE (School) if you wrote as a school candidate, or BECE (Private) if you wrote as a private candidate.

4. Enter the Examination Year
   For example, select 2025 if that’s your examination year.

5. Enter the Serial Number and PIN
   Scratch the voucher to reveal your unique PIN and serial number, then enter them exactly as they appear.

6. Confirm Your Details
   Double-check everything before you proceed.

7. Click on “Submit”
   Your results will be displayed instantly.

How to Print Your BECE Results

Once the results appear on your screen:

• Look for the “Print” option.

• If you are using a café, ask the attendant to help you print a copy.

• If you’re on your personal computer, you can save it as a PDF or print directly if a printer is connected.

It’s always a good idea to keep both soft and hard copies of your results for future reference.

Common Issues and How to Solve Them

Sometimes, students face small challenges when checking results. Here are a few:

• Invalid PIN/Serial Number: Make sure you typed the numbers correctly. If the problem continues, buy a new voucher.

• Website Not Loading: The WAEC portal often gets busy on the first few days. Try again later at night or early morning.

• No Results Available: Don’t panic. It could mean WAEC is still updating the portal. Check back after a few hours.

Final Tips

• Always buy your scratch card from trusted vendors to avoid fraud.

• Don’t share your PIN and serial number with friends.

• Take your time while checking the results to avoid mistakes.

Conclusion

Checking your BECE results is a straightforward process once you have your index number, year of examination, and a valid scratch card. Whether you’re at home, in school, or at an internet café, you can access your results in just a few minutes.

If you’ve recently checked yours, congratulations! Whether the outcome is exactly what you hoped for or not, remember this is only the beginning of your academic journey.
