What Is A Matric Recheck
Asking to have your matric script rechecked means that your paper will be thoroughly reviewed so that they can confirm that all questions have been properly marked and that the marks have been accurately calculated.
What Is A Matric Remark?
If candidates feel as if their assigned marks do not align with their actual performance on the written papers, they can request a re-mark of their scripts. This entails a complete re-evaluation of the original answer script by a different marker.
How to apply for a matric remark/recheck
Application forms can be obtained from the centre where the exam was written. This application can also be done online by following these steps:
- Visit The Government’s Official e-Services Portal
