Understanding Matric – Part 2

Yesterday we focused more on the subjects you will study in Matric. Today, however, we will look at the exams, the results, and how to pass

How Are Matric Final Marks Calculated?

Your Matric final results are calculated based on the following two things:

· School-based assessments
· Final examination

School-Based Assessments

The school-based assessments are those you complete throughout the year. These assessments are out of 25%. You must participate in all assessments to gain marks. These marks are used to boost your final marks. These are the school-based assessments you must complete:

· Tests
· Assignments
· Oral presentations
· June Examination
· Trial examinations

Final Examination

The final examination is the one usually written in November/December. This is the most important assessment because it contributes 75% to your final mark. You must do well in your final exam in order to pass.

The marks you earn in your school-based assessments are combined with the marks you earn in your final exam. This then creates your final pass mark.

How Can I Pass Matric?

You can pass your Matric if you obtain one of the following pass levels:

· Bachelor’s Degree Pass
· Diploma Pass
· Higher Certificate Pass
· National Senior Certificate Pass

Requirements for a 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 two other subjects

Requirements for a Diploma Pass Level:

· A minimum of 30% in four other subjects

Requirements for a National Senior Certificate Pass Level:

· A minimum of 40% in your home language
· A minimum of 30% in two other subjects
· A minimum of 30% in other subjects

You can fail one subject

What Is The Highest Level To Pass Matric?

The highest pass level in Matric is known as the Bachelor’s Degree Pass. This pass level helps you study at university. This is if you meet other requirements that the university has put in place.

To obtain a Bachelor’s Degree Pass, you must pass with a minimum of:

· 40% in your home language
· 50% in four subjects
· 30% in two other subjects

What’s the Difference Between National Senior Certificate and Senior Certificate?

The National Senior Certificate and the Senior Certificate are different in a very simple way. Where the one is school-based, and the other is examination based, but there are also other differences.

National Senior Certificate (NSC)

An NSC is what you receive after completing grade 12 before the age of 21.

If you are under 21 years old and left Grade 12 less than three years ago, you can re-enroll for a full-time NSC. You can take the full complement of matric subjects through the full-time route.

Those who failed their matric exams, passed but want to improve their results, or reached Grade 12 but didn’t write exams, can register as part-time candidates to write the NSC. You must be under 21 years old and have left Grade 12 less than three years ago.

Senior Certificate (SC)

An SC is awarded to people who finished their matric year after the age of 21.

It is for people who completed Grade 9 but, dropped out of school before reaching the Grade 12 exams, and those who wrote their matric exams more than three years ago, but either failed or passed but want to improve their results.

The SC is an equal qualification to the NSC, but while the NSC combines examinations and the School-Based Assessment to reach a final result, the SC is based only on examinations.
