Out of the total 38,316 candidates who took the exams, there were 17,596 males and 21,131 females, with 1,354 registered candidates absent.
Unfortunately, WAEC identified several incidents of examination malpractice during the marking process.
Consequently, the subject results of 303 candidates and the full results of 108 candidates have been withheld for further investigation.

In the English language, 54.79% of candidates achieved grades A1-C6, while 13.45% received an F9.
For Mathematics, 37.44% attained A1-C6, which is almost equal to the 37.42% who failed.
