Re-marking and supplementary matric exams

Tags:

If you didn't pass your 2023 National Senior Certificate (NSC) exams, or you’re perhaps unhappy with your results, you may apply to re-write certain examinations. You can also apply to have your exam paper re-marked or for the viewing of scripts.

Re-marking of exam papers

A re-mark means that your examination will be marked for a second time, while a re-check of your scripts is a further check to ensure that all questions are duly marked and that all marks are correctly calculated.

Candidates can apply for the re-mark of their NSC November 2023 scripts online on https://www.eservices.gov.za

Please note that the closing date for applications for re-marking, re-checking and viewing of scripts, is 2 February 2024.

Who qualifies?

You can apply for the re-mark of your scripts if you feel that the mark allocated is not a true reflection of your performance on the papers written.
A re-mark means that your original answer script is marked for a second time by a marker.
