What is GCE?

GCE stands for General Certificate Examination, an external examination organized by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) for private candidates who are not in the regular school system. It is different from the WAEC SSCE for school candidates, but both hold the same recognition.

There are two types of WAEC GCE:

  • First Series (Jan/Feb)
  • Second Series (Aug/Sept)

Requirements to Check WAEC GCE Results

Before checking your result, make sure you have the following:

  • WAEC Examination Number (usually a 10-digit number e.g., 4310963011)
  • Examination Year
  • Type of Examination (e.g., Private Candidate – First Series)
  • WAEC Result Checker PIN (found on a WAEC scratch card or e-PIN from a vendor)

Note: You can buy WAEC result checker e-PINs online or from authorized dealers across Nigeria.
