As mentioned earlier, the PIN and Serial Number on your scratch card can only be used five times, so only use them when necessary.

What Does It Mean For Your Result To Be Withheld?

If your WAEC GCE result is marked as “withheld,” it means WAEC has temporarily held back your results. This often happens when there are concerns about possible examination malpractice or irregularities in the exam process.

Why Does This Happen?

WAEC reviews results to ensure fairness and credibility. If your result is withheld, it could be due to:-

• Suspected cheating during the exam.
• Issues with your exam center, like improper conduct.
• Discrepancies in the exam process that need further investigation.

What Can You Do?

Being worried is natural, but withheld results don’t always mean you’ve done something wrong. WAEC will investigate the issue, and the results of their findings will be announced. This process may take a few weeks or months.
