Table of Interests
Several times, these WAEC terms confuse a lot of people.
But the thing is that you never really will understand any of these until it happens to your enemies.
You know what I meant there right (LOL).
So today, you and I will go through what these waec terms means.
Without wasting much time, lets get to it.
Frequently asked WAEC Terms And What They Mean
People often type into google search query what it means for a result to be withheld.
Other times, they ask what it means to have outstanding in WAEC result.
Likewise and very importantly, they ask what “No Result” means.
Lets take them in order.
WAEC Terms; Held Result
The chance of releasing this form of issue is almost zero.
This occurs for a particular student /students whose answer booklet has been commented on.
Often times, you may want to call it malpractice form.
Once the comment is made on your booklet and submitted, It will take only God to see your result.
Withheld WAEC Result
Whenever you hear of withheld WAEC result, you should think towards the direction of exam malpractice.
Withheld WAEC results don’t just happen like that.
It is specific for a particular WAEC centre.
This means that the results will not be released at the point of releasing general WAEC results for a particular subject.
This may be caused by the fact that students involved in malpractice most times and has same grades in the a particular subject or in the exam as a whole.
Therefore, such results will be seized and will not be released.
Although, note that they may later be released depending on who is at fault at the tail end.
In summary, the chances of them releasing the result is very small.
Outstanding Result
When a student has outstanding in some subjects, it means some of his marks weren’t recorded.
Often times, this may be due to mistake on the part of the marker or the student.
You have to be extremely careful when collecting extra answer booklet as a scholar.
Failure to attach your extra answer booklet may lead to this kind of situation.
If the mistake was on the part of the marker, the chances of the result being released is 50/50.
This is because of the I don’t care attitude of some markers.
Nevertheless, if the error is from you, then you may as well forget about it.
Well, you can pray because nothing is impossible.
No Result
The chance of releasing this kind of result is very small.
This may be caused as a result of malpractice in a particular center.
You probably won’t see your result if you are in this category.
In summary, these are the common WAEC terms students often ask in search query.
If you see this and you are not guilty of any offense, there are two things involved.
- Your WAEC result may be released.
- One oil stains one finger, it may stain others.
