Matric rewrite duration

High schools are meant to release matric results with an advisory slip that will tell you whether or not you qualify for supplementary exams. It will also advise you which education district office to register at.

Pupils planning to write supplementary matric exams have to register in time and arrive with the correct documentation. Candidates will be required to register at their education district office with their identity document, exam results and exam number.

• This option is available for pupils who have failed 2 matric subjects or less.
• Pupils needs to apply before deadlines.
• It is a more immediate option, as deadlines typically close at the end of January.
• Pupils can enroll in the education department’s Second Chance Programme.
