Matric results are important because they help you narrow down your career path or help you know where to start when job hunting. If your matric results didn't turn out as you hoped, remember that there's always an opportunity to improve and achieve better matric results.
Matric Rewrites
You can upgrade the results by writing the Adult Matric exams or rewriting your exams in June or November each year, and the marks you get in that exam can replace the marks from your first attempt.
Umalusi will combine your results from your two exams and issue you with a Matric Certificate with only your best marks.
The Department of Basic Education will have dates available for the registration process on its website or district offices.
Second Chance Matric Programme
The Department of Basic Education also offers the Second Chance Matric Support Programme which provides support to learners who have not been able to meet the requirements of the National Senior Certificate.
Private Colleges
There are also registered private colleges which offer matric rewrite options, but you will need to ensure that they are legitimate.
