You can get your results on News24’s Matric Results website and Mobi-site: matricresults.news24.com.

2. School

The Department is encouraging learners to get their results from the schools or centers where they wrote their exams. (Call first to make sure they’re open). This is fun as classmates can gather round and celebrate or commiserate together. The certificate will be printed and posted only weeks later.

3. Newspapers

The results will be published in all major daily newspapers. You’ll need to know your exam number (no names are published). You won’t be able to see subject results, only whether it’s a pass, Bachelors’s pass, etc.

4. Send an SMS

For state schools:

The Department of Basic Education and SABC Education have partnered again to offer instant results via SMS.
