Key Details of the WASSCE PC1 Initiative:

• Registration Period: Candidates must register online via WAEC’s official website or at accredited internet cafés by January 8, 2025.
• Examination Dates: The resit exams are scheduled from January 24 to February 15, 2025.
• Eligibility Criteria:
  • Open to students who need to retake one or two subjects.
  • Candidates whose results were canceled due to issues unrelated to malpractice bans are eligible.
