2024 WASSCE Grading System

The 2024 WASSCE Grading System has been revealed. All 2024 WASSCE candidates must know the kind of grading system that will be used to assess their results. The performance of candidates will be shown for each subject on their respective results using the grading system explained in this post.

WASSCE Grading System was introduced to assess students’ performance. The WASSCE grading system is based on the percentage of your total marks (continuous assessment, which is 30% and the WASSCE, which is 70%). Most students who fail WASSCE do so because they did not score good marks in their final examination.

The WASSCE 2024 grades in percentage ranges

In all, there are nine (9) grades that a student can obtain. The grades range from grade 1 to 9. While grade 1 is the best and has “Excellent” as its remark, while grade 9 commonly known as F is the worst grade a student can obtain in any WAEC examination at the Senior High School level.

Grades from 1 to 9 are awarded to students per subject if their scores per subject fall within a given range. For instance, students who score from 75 to 100 in any subject will obtain grade 1. Now, take a look at the full grade table.

How Do I Calculate My WASSCE Results?

To calculate your WASSCE results properly, sum the 6 best subjects of your results. Including the four core subjects (Mathematics, English, Integrated Science, and Social Studies). Mathematics and English Language are always a must among the core subjects.

If you intend to pursue a science-related program in university, you need to include Science in your grading, but if you do not, then you can consider Social Studies.
