You may feel anxious while waiting for your Matric results. However, it is better to remember that you did your best and that the outcome should not shake you. You must also have options to consider for whether you pass or fail Matric. We would advise you the following:
- Options if you failed Matric
- Options if you passed Matric
Options If You Failed Matric
We advise that if you have failed your Matric, you should not feel demotivated. Failure is a part of success. When you fail at something once, you can do better at it the next time because you know what is expected.
Take the failure and turn it into energy to do better. Choosing to give up on your career is not an option. Instead, you have options to consider if you failed your Matric. These options are:
Rewrite Exam
Apply for a rewrite exam/supplementary exam/Second chance programme and rewrite your Matric final examination. Study hard and smart to ensure you cover all the topics in your subjects. A few tips you can use are the following:

- Find past exam papers and memorandums to study
- Find someone to teach you
- Study with other learners doing Matric

You can apply for the remark or recheck option. Your paper will be remarked or rechecked to ensure you have been given fair and correct marks. These options may help you gain marks.
