BECE 2025: Comprehensive Timeline for Script Marking and Results Release

Following the successful conduct of the 2025 Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), attention now shifts to the critical post-examination processes that will determine candidates’ final outcomes. For students, parents, and educators, understanding the timeline and structure of this process is essential.

This article presents a professionally detailed overview of the marking phase, grading procedures, and expected date for the publication of results.

Commencement of Script Marking – Early July 2025

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) is expected to begin the national coordination and marking of BECE scripts in early July 2025. This exercise is overseen by seasoned examiners and subject professionals to ensure consistency, fairness, and adherence to marking schemes.

Marking centres will be set up in various zones, with each examiner assigned to specific papers under tight supervision and strict quality control measures.

Duration of the Marking Process – Late July to Early August

The marking process is anticipated to conclude between the last week of July and the first week of August 2025. This timeframe allows WAEC sufficient room to ensure all scripts are thoroughly reviewed and any special cases are resolved in accordance with established protocols.

Score Processing and Grade Finalisation – 1 to 2 Weeks Post-Marking

Upon completion of the marking exercise, WAEC will commence score processing, standardization, and grading. This stage typically lasts one to two weeks, during which raw scores are converted into standardized grades based on nationwide performance data and moderation procedures.

The process also includes internal verification, system checks, and final approval of data to maintain the integrity of the examination.

Official Release of Results – Expected Between July 28 and August 17, 2025

If the timelines proceed without disruption, BECE 2025 results are expected to be published between July 28 and August 17, 2025. The official release will be announced via WAEC’s official website, accredited media outlets, and authorised school communication channels.

Candidates are strongly advised to avoid relying on social media speculations or unverified portals during this period.

Advisory to Candidates and Stakeholders

Remain Calm and Focused: The examination phase is complete. Results will be released within a structured and transparent timeline.

Avoid Disinformation: Only trust official communication from WAEC, the Ghana Education Service, or your respective schools.

Begin Preparing for the Next Stage: Whether transitioning to Senior High School, technical institutes, or vocational programs, now is the time to explore your options.
