Understanding Your WAEC Result Status 

When you check your results, you may come across different result statuses.

Here’s what they imply:

Outstanding: 

When this happens, WAEC is still processing your result(s). This normally occurs when you have taken part in the exam, but your marks are not yet completely collated.

For instance, this may be a result of technical issues or an extra answer sheet being attached incorrectly.

Withheld:

This usually takes place when a lot of students from an exam centre have the same answers, which signifies malpractice.

WAEC is still analysing the matter. If it is proved that there’s malpractice, the results won’t be released

Held:

Similar to “Withheld”, but this time, it is connected to an individual candidate or a centre suspected to carry out malpractice.

Result Not Available: 

This is probably as a result of a delay in releasing results or you’ve input a wrong exam or registration details. Check and retry.

Cancelled:

This implies WAEC has adjudged you to have been guilty of malpractice or violation of exam ethics. Your  result won’t be released in this case.
