The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has released the 2026 provisional Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) results for over 620,000 school and private candidates across Ghana. The results are available on the official WAEC portal, eresults.waecgh.org, and can be accessed using a candidate's index number and a valid results checker voucher. This service is free, with candidates only paying for the voucher.
The BECE is administered by WAEC at the end of Junior High School in Ghana, and the results determine entry into Senior High School through the computerized school selection and placement process. In 2026, over 620,000 candidates sat for the examination. School placement results are provisional until full ratification by WAEC.
To access the BECE results, candidates need a results checker voucher, which contains a serial number and a PIN. There are two ways to obtain the voucher: by dialing *713*3998# on any mobile phone and following the prompts to pay via Mobile Money, or by visiting buycheckercodes.com.gh to purchase online with Mobile Money. Payment works on MTN, Telecel, and AirtelTigo, and the serial number and PIN arrive instantly by SMS after payment.
An alternative USSD shortcode, *899*550#, is also available for buying a BECE results checker voucher using Mobile Money. If the code is busy on results day, candidates can use alternative codes: *789*444#, *790*024#, or *714*715#. After dialing and completing payment, WAEC sends the serial number and PIN by SMS, which candidates save to access the results portal.
To check BECE results online, candidates follow a step-by-step process on the WAEC eresults portal: visiting eresults.waecgh.org, entering their BECE index number, re-entering their index number to confirm, selecting their exam type, choosing the exam year (2026), entering the serial number and PIN from their voucher, completing Captcha verification, and clicking Submit to view their results.
The WAEC results portal is optimized for mobile phones, allowing candidates to check their results on their phones without downloading an app. Candidates can open their mobile browser, go to eresults.waecgh.org, and follow the same nine-step process as the online method.
Candidates are advised to beware of result-upgrade scams, as WAEC does not offer score upgrades. Fraudsters may contact candidates claiming they can improve examination grades for a fee, but candidates should not pay anyone making such an offer. All genuine 2026 BECE results are available only on eresults.waecgh.org.
