Mid-year exams pass test

Early this year the department announced a new approach of the supplementary exams, moving them from February/March dates for May/June."Grade 12 pupils receive their results in January and [are] expected to write in February, meaning that the circumstances that led them to fail are still the same. Also, an additional change is the number of subjects the candidates are allowed to write.

"Previously, they had a maximum of two subjects but now they are allowed to rewrite as many subjects as they need. This includes the subjects they have failed as well as subjects they would like to improve on," Mhlanga said. He said all candidates writing the mid-year exams will be allowed to combine subjects passed in the mid-year exams based on the requirements for their respective qualifications to obtain a senior certificate or a National Senior Certificate.

"The integrated examination computer system has been programmed to be able to assist both categories of candidates to combine the results obtained in various examination sittings to effect an overall pass in their respective qualifications," Mhlanga said.
