WAEC Result Sample – Sample of WAEC result
WAEC Result Sample which can be referred to as the WAEC Certificate is the certificate issued to WAEC candidates who sat for the WAEC examination. The WAEC result sample, shown in this article, is different from the statement of result (printout) a candidate obtains once the examination results are released. While they are forged, the original WAEC result sample is issued by WAEC with certain features a holder or prospective holder should be conversant with.
15 Features of WAEC Result Sample (Original WAEC Certificate)
Here are the 15 features of any WAEC Result Sample (Original WAEC Certificate) issued by WAEC:
1. WAEC Logo
2. Certificate Number
3. Examination Year
4. Candidate’s Sex
5. Candidate’s Date of Birth
6. Candidate’s Passport Photograph
7. Candidate’s Examination Centre
8. Candidate’s Number

On the other hand, the WAEC statement of results doesn’t contain all the above features. You will only see your name, your examination number, your subjects and your grade.
In most cases, original WAEC result samples are more acceptable than the printout and statement of result issued by your secondary schools or printed through an online result checker for private candidates.

‘EXPO’ WAEC
Do not seek for any WAEC ‘expo’ be it May/June or GCE WAEC Examination online neither should you indulge it any ‘expo’ or rather examination malpractice. Perhaps you did for 2021 and in 2022 but don’t use ‘expo’ any longer to write your examination. ‘Expo’ destroys a student’s future and makes him not to realise his full potentials.
Examination malpractice is destroying our education system and it takes away the interest in learning among Nigerian students and I strongly urge you not to ever think of indulging or involving in ‘expo’, whichever form of it.
Pay attention to your studies. If you prepare for your exams, you will surely pass.
Do not indulge in any WAEC ‘EXPO’ even NECO or JAMB EXPO or any other exam be it internal or external. ‘EXPO’ WAEC, NECO or JAMB undoubtedly ruins one’s potentials, career and life.
