A statement signed by Mrs Agnes Teye-Cudjoe, Principal Public Relations Officer of WAEC, said a total of 3,760 candidates sat for the GBCE while 1,254 candidates sat for the ABCE.

Result lists for school candidates are being sent to their schools while candidates may also access their results at Ghana.waecdirect.org.

The General Business Certificate Examination (GBCE) is equivalent to the WASSE while the Advanced Business Certificate Examination (ABCE) is equivalent to the former GCE Advanced Level.
