How to Register for WAEC Examination 2024

The steps below are what you need to do to sign up for the 2024 WASSCE exam:

Enter the WAEC Registration site: To get to the official WAEC registration site, pay the fees and get an access PIN. The portal can be found at https://registration.waecdirect.org/.Every candidate has to add their personal information before they can start the WAEC registration process. Besides that, they should use biometric data capture tools to save their fingerprints. While you use the program, make sure that your names are written down.
Fill out the bio information: In this part, you need to enter information about your profile. You should list your date of birth, country, state of origin, gender, marital status, whether you are single or married, and any disabilities you may have.
Take a picture with your webcam: Taking a picture is an important part of registering for WAEC. If the picture capture isn’t finished, you haven’t signed up for the test yet. If students want to take pictures online, they have to use a webcam that meets the WIEC standards. You need to be very careful when taking the pictures because they will be on your student ID and award.
Provide Your Contact Information: You need to put all of your important information here. This has your email address, phone number, state, city, and home city, as well as your mailing address, residential address, and state. These applicants’ contact information is very important so that officials can get in touch with them if there are any problems with the test or their registration.
Choose the town where you want to take the exam: Pick the city and state where you want to take the test in this step. The system will choose the exact centre because all approved centres are listed on the WAEC registration page. It is also important to know that the examination place choice can only be made once.
Pick out your subjects: At this point, you have to choose which topics you want to take the exam for. The required math and English language tests will be chosen for you immediately. There can be no more than nine subjects picked, but at least seven must be chosen.
Send in your Registration: Once you’re done with the registration process, you need to hit the “Accept” button to send in your application. You can also click the EDIT button in the program to fix your mistake. You can click the “SUBMIT” button to send your registration form if it is ready.
Print your Picture Card: This is where the system will put you in a centre and give you a test number. After that, print out the photo ID and the notice of entry. Keep in mind that you need to show this paper before you can go into the exam room.
Complete the Registration: Within two weeks of using the website, each candidate must finish the register process. Applicants should make sure that their names, pictures, birth dates, subjects, country, and passports are correct.
