The Western Australian Certificate of Education (WACE) ensures a transparent and fair evaluation process. However, students who believe their results do not reflect their performance have the option to request re-checking or re-evaluation of their answer scripts. The Indian Council of Academic Education (ICAE) provides complete guidance and support to students and schools in India for this process.

1. Re-Checking Process in WACE

   What is Re-Checking?

   • A process where the marks are recalculated to check for clerical or totaling errors.
   • No reassessment of answers—only verification of correct mark allocation.

   Steps to Apply for Re-Checking Through ICAE:

   • Students submit a re-checking request through ICAE or their school.
   • ICAE verifies the request and submits it to the WACE examination board.
   • WACE examiners recalculate the marks to ensure no errors were made.
   • If an error is found, the marks are corrected and updated in the official records.
   • The student receives a revised marks statement if applicable.
2. Re-Evaluation Process in WACE

   What is Re-Evaluation?

   • A complete review of the entire answer sheet to ensure fair marking.
   • Answers are reassessed by senior examiners to check if marks were awarded correctly.

   Steps to Apply for Re-Evaluation Through ICAE:

   • Students submit a formal re-evaluation request through ICAE.
   • A fee is applicable, as per WACE regulations.
   • ICAE submits the request to WACE examiners for reassessment.
   • A different examiner reviews the answers to check for misjudgment.
   • If the marks are found to be incorrect, the score is updated.
   • Students receive a final confirmed result after re-evaluation.
3. ICAE’s Role in Supporting Re-Checking & Re-Evaluation
   • Application Assistance – ICAE helps students and schools in correctly submitting their re-checking or re-evaluation requests.
   • Tracking Progress – ICAE provides updates on the status of requests and follows up with WACE authorities.
   • Ensuring Fair Review – ICAE ensures students receive a fair and unbiased reassessment of their performance.
   • Communication with WACE – ICAE directly liaises with WACE to speed up the process and resolve any issues.
   • Providing Updated Results – ICAE informs students and schools of the final outcome after the process is completed.

Conclusion

ICAE ensures a transparent and fair system for re-checking and re-evaluation of WACE exams, helping students receive the most accurate assessment of their performance. Through proper guidance, timely application tracking, and direct coordination with WACE, ICAE supports students in achieving the best.
