Remark, Recheck And View Paper
If you failed your Matric but do not wish to rewrite, you can request for a second marker to evaluate your question paper. This is done through a Matric remark, recheck or a viewing of your paper.
If there were any errors the first time, your marks will be adjusted accordingly. While the above process can help you gain a few marks, we advise you to rewrite your subjects that you did not do well in.
Here are the costs of the recheck, remark, and viewing processes:
- Matric exam paper remark: R110
- Recheck: R27
- Viewing your paper after a remark or recheck has been done: R212
These costs are rated per subject. You must pay per subject if you want more than one subject remarked or checked, or if you want to view more than one paper.
Note:
- These fees are subject to change.
- You can only view your paper if it has been remarked on or rechecked.
Find Employment
If you do not want to rewrite your Matric, you can look for employment. There are different employment opportunities you can get without Matric.
However, to increase your chances of getting employed, you can study a Short Course.
Studying a Short Course will help you gain the necessary skills needed by employers. You will be able to find employment.
