A student, you may be tempted to ask for papers remark if your grades in such papers are somewhat disappointing. This is not far from common. It’s possibly happened to all of us at one point or the other.
You’re sure you wrote well for some papers in your WAEC or GCE. But when the result was out, you’re disappointed to see that you failed those papers or you had grades below your expectations.
And with most schools offering admissions based on the performance (A1, B2, B3, etc) in SSCE (especially when such schools don’t write post UTME but instead, admission screening), a student may be forced to ask for remarking of his papers.

What is the Procedure to Recall papers?
- First, candidates through the school principal or exams officer should apply for this within 60 days of releasing the result. The body will decline any application after such date.
- First, contact your school principal or exams officer for your intention
- The school will prepare a letter to remark your scripts. This letter will be sent to WAEC for consideration.
- WAEC will get back to the school for the fee application (usually #10,000) as this will require you to pay for each of the papers to be recalled) and the modality it will follow to remark your scripts.
- This price is not fixed though, yet it will be nothing to break the bank for.
