UPDATED: Step-by-Step Guide on How to Check Your 2025 O-Level Results Online

The Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) has updated its online results system. Candidates are now required to give consent before creating a new account or accessing their O-Level results online.

What You Need Before You Start

• Centre Number (6 digits)
• Candidate Number (4 digits)
• Candidate Full Name (as on Statement of Entry)
• National ID Number
• Active mobile phone number
• Stable internet connection

Step 1: Visit the Main ZIMSEC Results Portal

Open your browser and go to:
https://results.zimsec.co.zw

Do not manually enter provincial portal links. The system will redirect you automatically.

Step 2: Candidate Login

Click on Candidate Login. First-time users will be guided through the consent process before account creation.

Step 3: Give Consent (Mandatory)

Before creating an account, candidates (or parents/guardians) must complete the Consent by Candidate/Guardian or Parent form.

• Enter full name
• Enter National ID (correct format)
• Enter Centre Number
• Enter Candidate Number
• Provide a valid contact phone number
• Select Accept and submit

Step 4: Create a Candidate Account

After successful consent:

1. Proceed to create a username and password
2. Select Examination Level: O-Level
3. Select the correct Examination Year and Session
4. Submit to complete registration

Ensure your password includes uppercase letters, numbers, and a special character.

Step 5: Log In and View Results

Once results are released:

1. Log in using your username and password
2. Open the Candidate Results section
3. Select Level, Session, and Year
4. View your results online

Candidates may download or print the online results for reference. Official result slips will be collected from examination centres.

Important Provincial Portal Information

ZIMSEC uses different provincial portals. Candidates should not guess or bookmark provincial links. Always begin from the main portal.

Harare candidates are redirected to the DCMV1 portal, while candidates from other provinces are redirected to their respective regional portals automatically.

Common Problems and Solutions

• Candidate not found: Check centre and candidate numbers carefully
• Registration failed: Ensure consent was accepted
• Portal slow: Try late night or early morning access

Final Notes

The online results portal is usually open for a limited period after release. Candidates are advised to check results early and keep login details safe.
