Yes, but only if (s)he is a school candidate. No provision is made for a private candidate in this regard. Even then, a school candidate does not write directly to WAEC. It is her/his principal who, knowing the candidate's ability, forwards a request for the review of the candidate's scripts. Of course, there is a specified fee to be paid on every paper to be reviewed. Such requests should be sent in within sixty days of any examination.

A confirmation of result can be processed by submitting to WAEC the following:

1. One plain foolscap envelope
2. One stamped, addressed envelope for each confirmation of results
3. =N=250 postage stamp for local mails
4. =N=350 postage stamp for international mails
5. An affidavit sworn to in a court of law which should contain the following details:
   1. Candidate's Name (in full)
   2. Name of Examination
   3. Year of Examination
6. Two copies of candidates's passport photograph per result
7. Fee for confirmation of resultis:
   1. =N=10,000.00 per result for overseas institutions
   2. =N=5,000.00 per result for institutions within Nigeria

Confirmed results are not handed over to candidates. They are sent direct to the institutions/establishments which candidates want to provide with the information.

WAEC does not prepare candidates for its examinations by establishing secondary schools or tutorial centres, and no such institutions are affiliated to the Council.

WAEC provides feedback in the form of Chief Examiners' Report on candidates' perofrmance in the various papers for each examination diet, which helps schools and private candidates to prepare adequately for subsequent examinations. The Chief Examiners' Reports are avialable for sale at the Council's offices nationwide.

In the case of the school examination, the prospective candidate must be in the SS 3 class in a recognized school, For the private candidates' examination, any one of the following categories may enter for the WASSCE:

1. Those who have attempted the WASSCE in previous years;
2. Those who have attempted the GCE and obtained a pass in at least three subjects;
3. Those who have passed the Teachers’ Grade two examination.
