How does matric certificate look like

This is how the genuine matric certificate looks like.

How are my Grade 12 Results calculated?

25% Internal School Based Assessment (SBA) (the mark given to you by your school) and 75% External Exam (Finals) – except for LO, which is 100% Internal Assessment. But, your SBA only counts if it is within 10% of your Final Exam marks. If it is 10% higher or lower than your exam mark, then only your Final Exam marks count. This is good news if you’ve got a low SBA…so get studying!!!

What are the Minimum Requirements for the different NSC Passes?

It is compulsory to pass your Home Language (usually English) with at least 40%. If you do not get at least 40% for your Home Language, you will fail matric.

NSC Pass:

A minimum of 40% for 3 subjects (one of which must be your Home Language) and at least 30% for 3 other subjects. You can fail your First Additional Language (usually Afrikaans) and still pass, provided your overall average is above 33 1/3 %. An NSC Pass will not enable you to study at any institution of higher learning. You need to aim higher!
