A National Senior Certificate (NSC) is a South African Qualification awarded to learners who pass Grade 12 in High School, which is also known as Matric. It takes 3 to 5 years to complete a National Senior Certificate. The NSC consists of studies done in:
- Grade 10
- Grade 11
- Grade 12
You have to pass these grades to be awarded a National Senior Certificate.
What Is The NSC Exam?
The National Senior Certificate exam is a South African examination written every year by Grade 12 learners. The exam is important to learners as it gives them access to universities and colleges as well as bursaries, learnerships and entry-level work.
Who Qualifies To Write The National Senior Certificate Exam?
The following groups qualify to write the National Senior Certificate exam:
- Learners currently in Grade 12
- Learners who have a complete School-Based Assessment (SBA)
- Learners who are rewriting their Matric Exams
When Is The NSC Exam Written?
The National Senior Certificate exam is written every year from October to December. Specific dates for the exam are published on the Department of Basic Education website, and your school will provide you with an exam timetable when the exam is near. NSC exams are also written in May/June, which is reserved for learners rewriting their Matric exams.
National Senior Certificate (Results)
To receive your National Senior Certificate results from the Department of Basic Education (DBE), here are the steps you need to follow:
- Go to the DBE website
- Register with your personal details
- Click on 2021 NSC results
- Enter your exam number
- Your results should appear here
How Are National Senior Certificate Final Marks Calculated?
National Senior Certificate results consist of 25% internal school-based assessments (SBA) and 75% from examinations. The 25% SBA includes class activities such as:
- Tests
- Oral presentations
- Assignments
- Trail examinations (Preliminary/Preparatory exams)
- June examinations
Are National Senior Certificate Trial Exams Important?
Trial exams (exams set before the final examinations) are important because they add up to your School-Based Assessments (SBA) mark. Trial exams usually make up about 7% of your SBA. This is dependent on what the percentages for the other assessments are. Make sure that you study hard for every assessment and aim to get the highest SBA mark possible.
These exams are also important because once you have written these exams, you can see how prepared you are for the final examination. Not only do you see how the exam papers are set up, but you also have a better indication of which subjects you need to work harder on.
National Senior Certificate Pass Levels
There are four pass levels for a National Senior Certificate: However, a lot of students are not aware of the criteria of these NSC pass levels and incorrectly think that if they get 30% across all their subjects, they will pass their Matric. This is not the case. If a student does not meet the minimum pass requirements on the subjects written, they can be disappointed when they get their results.
Here are the different pass levels you can achieve after you have completed your Matric:
Bachelor’s Degree Pass Level
- A minimum of 40% in your home language
- A minimum of 50% in four subjects
- A minimum of 30% in 2 other subjects
Diploma Pass Level
- A minimum of 40% in your home language
- A minimum of 40% in four subjects
- A minimum of 30% in 2 other subjects
Higher Certificate Pass Level
- A minimum of 40% in your home language
- A minimum of 40% in two subjects
- A minimum of 30% in 3 other subjects
National Senior Certificate Pass Level
- A minimum of 40% in your home language
- A minimum of 40% in two other subjects
- A minimum of 20% in other subjects
Note: Keep in mind that each tertiary institution has its requirements. If you want to study at university, you will have to research the university and course you want to study.
You might gain entry into a university, but this does not mean that you meet the requirements for a particular course.
E.g. You gain entry into a university because you received a Bachelor’s pass, but you do not qualify for the Engineering course because you have received 50% for Mathematics.

How Do I Calculate My APS Score?
Here is how you can calculate your APS score for your National Senior Certificate:
| APS Percentage | Type of Achievement | APS Points |
| 80-100% (Distinction) | Outstanding Achievement | 7 points |
| 70-79% | Meritorious Achievement | 6 points |
| 60-69% | Substantial Achievement | 5 points |
| 50-59% | Adequate Achievement | 4 points |
| 40-49% | Moderate Achievement | 3 points |
| 30-39% | Elementary Achievement | 2 points |
| 0-29% | Not achieved Achievement | 1 point |
- English First Language – 56% = 4 points
- Tshivenda Home Language – 60% = 5 points
- Life Orientation – 79% = (we do not count L.O when we calculate APS)
- Mathematics – 45% = 3 points
- Economics – 66% = 5 points
- Business Studies – 81% = 7 points (Distinction)
- Accounting – 36% = 2 points
TOTAL APS SCORE = 26 POINTS
Is 75% A Distinction In National Senior Certificate?
No, when you receive 75% for a subject in your National Senior Certificate, is not considered a distinction. A 75% pass in a subject is a distinction in college and university but NOT for your National Senior Certificate or Senior Certificate (Amended).
The distinction percentage for a subject completed in your National Senior Certificate in South Africa is 80% and above. If you obtain distinctions in your subjects, you have a better chance of being accepted into university. However, a distinction does not automatically give you entrance into a university. You still have to meet each institution’s requirements as well as the requirements of the course you wish to study.
Make sure that you research the university you want to enrol at, and the Degree/Diploma you are interested in and work towards meeting those requirements.
Who Can Rewrite The National Senior Certificate?
If you are under 21 years old, you can rewrite your National Senior Certificate through the Department of Basic Education. Students who recently wrote their National Senior Certificate exams and are not satisfied with their results can apply for the Second Chance Programme. They can do so whether they passed or failed their exams. The programme is there to help students improve their Matric marks. The Second Chance Programme is also known as the Second National Programme, Supplementary Exams or Matric Rewrite.
You may qualify to write the Second Chance Programme if:
- You are 21 and younger
- You wrote the exam last November
- Could not write with valid reasons such as illness, death in the family, or other special reasons
- You failed a subject
- Have proof of university admission and need to improve a subject to gain entry
- Want to improve NSC exam results
These exams take place every year in May/June. Applications can be made in High Schools, Provincial and District offices.
Documents you need to apply for Matric Rewrite/Supplementary Exam/Second Chance Programme:
- A completed form (Form is available at the place where you apply)
- Certified ID copy OR (Birth certificate/Passport)
- Results from the last exam
Once your improved results are out, the department will automatically issue you with a certificate that has your best results. If you rewrite your National Senior Certificate and your second results are not better than the first ones, they will combine your results and give you the best marks.
If you do not want to rewrite your National Senior Certificate, here are other options you can consider:
- Remark
- Recheck
- View Paper
Remark
Your exam paper goes to an examiner that is different from the one who marked it last time. This is to make sure someone else can correct possible missed by the last examiner if there are any. These can include a question not marked and marked incorrectly. To get your exam paper remarked costs R120.
Recheck
Your exam paper is thoroughly checked to make sure that all questions have been marked and marks are allocated correctly. To get an exam paper rechecked costs R29.00.
View Script
You can only view your exam paper after it has been rechecked or remarked. The cost for each subject to be viewed is R234.
Application for remark, recheck and viewing of scripts can be made online through the DBE website.
Can I Combine NSC With Other Certificates?
Yes, you can combine the National Senior Certificate with other certificates. Here are examples to show you how you can combine the certificates:
Example 1: Combining National Senior Certificate With National Senior Certificate
You are 18 years old. You wrote your National Senior Certificate last year and did not pass. You apply for a Matric rewrite/second chance programme/supplementary exam/second national programme/ with your National Senior Certificate. You write the National Senior Certificate rewrite exam and obtain a Diploma pass.
What Happens When You Get A New Certificate?
Now that you have two National Senior Certificate results, and you are under 21 years old, the Department of Basic Education will automatically combine both your results and give you the best marks.
Example 2: Combining A National Senior Certificate With A Senior Certificate (Amended)
You are 24 years old. You passed your National Senior Certificate 7 years ago with a Bachelor’s Degree. You want to apply for an engineering course at university, and one of the entry requirements is 60% in Mathematics. In your National Senior Certificate, you do not have Mathematics as a subject, you only have Mathematical Literacy with a 55% mark.
You can apply to Matric College for the Matric Upgrade course, where you can choose a new set of subjects or choose the same ones you have. In this case, you choose a new set of subjects and include Mathematics in your subjects. You study for the Upgrade Matric course and pass with a Bachelor’s Degree pass and get 70% for Mathematics. You get awarded a National Senior Certificate.
What Happens When You Get A New Certificate?
You can use the new certificate (Senior Certificate (Amended) to apply for your engineering course at university. You still have your National Senior Certificate, and it is still valid, it does not expire simply because you have a new certificate. This means that you can still use your National Senior Certificate to apply to places where you see fit.
What Happens When You Get A New Certificate?
Your old National Senior Certificate does not expire simply because you have a new one with the same subjects. You can choose to combine your old and new certificates because they have the same subjects. This makes it easy for you when you apply. You have one instead of two certificates. However, you do not have to combine your certificates. You can use both the National Senior Certificate and Senior Certificate (Amended) separately or together, even if they are not combined.
Combination Of Certificates

Self-Discipline And Motivation
Adjusting to distance learning can take a while in the beginning, especially since you are working on your own. Having to come up with your own methods to keep going can sound like an unnecessary struggle, but it is possible, and it comes with many benefits.
Solutions

- Break down large assignments into smaller, more manageable tasks.
- Reward yourself for completing tasks and reaching goals.
- Find a quiet and distraction-free study space.
- Take regular breaks to avoid burnout.
Lack Of Face-To-Face Interaction With Teachers And Classmates
Distance learners are usually studying over the internet, whether at home or anywhere they feel productive, however it can take a while to be able to do the work alone. Some people might be used to interacting physically with the teachers and other students, which can make studying alone difficult.
Solutions
- Take advantage of study groups to connect with classmates and teachers.
- Participate in online study sessions with other students.
- Join online study groups or communities.
- Reach out to your teachers or tutors for help when needed.
Access To Technology And A Reliable Internet Connection
There are many factors that can affect distance learning student, technology and internet being a major one. This is because students need to interact with tutors for help, upload assignments and communicate with other students to share study tips and guides.
Solutions
- Use public libraries or community centres that offer free Wi-Fi access.
- Consider using a mobile hotspot if a reliable wired internet connection is not available.
Distractions At Home
Home life comes with its own responsibilities that you have to face because it can become distracting to your studies.
Solutions
- Set clear boundaries with family members and roommates to minimize distractions during study time.
- Create a designated study space that is free from clutter and interruptions.
- Inform family members of your study schedule and ask for their support in minimizing distractions.
- Use earplugs or noise-canceling headphones to block out background noise.
Time Management And Juggling Multiple Commitments
Everyone has a life outside of class, or home in this case, and this means that being too busy for your studies can affect your attention and take away precious time for learning and practising.
Solutions
- Create a realistic weekly schedule that allocates time for studying, work, family, and personal time.
- Prioritize your tasks and focus on completing the most important ones first.
- Delegate tasks to others when possible.
- Learn to say no to additional commitments when you are already overloaded.
