The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) grading system has remained consistent over the years. Grades from A1 to C6 are regarded as passes, while D7, E8, and F9 fall below the acceptable standard for university admission.
Although minor regional adjustments may occur due to local education policies, the core structure of the WAEC CBT 2025/2026 grading system remains unchanged across West African countries.
Latest Update on WAEC Grading for 2025/2026
According to official updates from the West African Examinations Council, there are no changes to the WAEC CBT 2025/2026 grading system. The same WASSCE scale applies for both the traditional and computer-based formats (CBT).
This consistency ensures that candidates and institutions can easily interpret results and maintain clear academic standards.

Key Note for Admission Seekers
While D7 and E8 are technically considered passes, they do not meet the minimum admission requirements for most universities and polytechnics.
To qualify for tertiary institution entry, aim for C6 or higher in the five core subjects relevant to your course of study. This applies to both WAEC May/June and WAEC GCE (Private) candidates.
