Together, these give a complete picture of a learner\u2019s performance during the final year of high school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SBA makes up 25% of your final mark and includes tests, assignments, projects, and other tasks completed during the year. This encourages learners to stay consistent and not rely only on final exams. The remaining 75% comes from the final exams written at the end of the year. These exams test your understanding of the full syllabus and how well you can apply what you have learned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us take a closer look at how this works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>School-Based Assessments (SBA)<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Final Examinations<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>SBA make up 25% of your final marks.<\/td><td>The other 75% of the Matric marks come from the final exams students take at the end of the year.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>They include tests, assignments, projects, and other tasks during the year.<\/td><td>These exams cover everything learned throughout the year for each subject.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>They show how well you understand each subject.<\/td><td>They test a student\u2019s overall knowledge and their ability to use what they have learned in an exam setting.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_Your_Matric_Certificate\"><\/span>Understanding Your Matric Certificate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your matric certificate is an important document that shows your academic achievements in Grade 12. Moreover, it helps you get into higher education and find jobs. Therefore, knowing the different types of matric certificates and what they mean can help you make better choices for your future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The following are the two different types of matric certificates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>National Senior Certificate (NSC)<\/strong>: The NSC is the usual matric certificate given to students who pass Grade 12 exams. It is needed to get into universities and other higher education institutions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>National Certificate (Vocational):&nbsp;<\/strong>This certificate is given to students who finish vocational training courses. It offers another way to continue education and find jobs, focusing on practical skills and specific industry knowledge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Read more on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.regenesys.net\/reginsights\/what-is-nsc-what-your-matric-means-for-your-future-degree\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">What Is NSC?

Becoming aware of your marks early helps you apply for universities, bursaries, or jobs on time. Checking on time also ensures you do not miss any deadlines. After receiving your results, make sure all personal details and subject marks are correct. Keep both digital and printed copies for future use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the main ways to access the matric results:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Department of Basic Education (DBE) Website:<\/strong> View your results online through the official DBE portal result link: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.education.gov.za\/MatricResults\/ExamResults.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Senior Certificate Examination Results<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>School or Exam Centre:<\/strong> You can collect your results in person from the school or exam centre where you wrote your exams.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_Do_If_You_Do_Not_Pass_Matric\"><\/span>What to Do If You Do Not Pass Matric?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Failing matric can be stressful, but it does not mean the end of your academic journey. Many learners improve their results by using the available support options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Second Chance Matric Support Programme helps learners who did not meet NSC requirements. You can also rewrite up to two subjects through supplementary exams, as long as you register before the deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you believe there was a marking error, you may apply for a re-mark or re-check of your exam papers.
