Following the decision by WAEC Ghana to organize the private WASSCE, also known as NOVDEC, twice a year starting in January 2025, school candidates and those who have failed the WASSCE or NOVDEC previously can take advantage of the first series.

For students who sat the 2024 WASSCE and are awaiting their results, which are expected to be released in December 2024, this presents a great opportunity to retake the WASSCE in case they fail one or more papers. They no longer have to wait for several months to sit for the exam in November 2025, unless they also fail the January 2025 exam administered by WAEC.
