If you’re one of the Class of 2019 hopefuls, then you are most likely already on the edge of your seat awaiting your matric results.
These results are the only thing standing between you and a bright future. Here’s how to get your hands on your results in a flash and end the suspense!
How to get your matric results
- Go to your high school on 8 January 2020. Results should be available as from noon.
- Send your ID number and exam number via SMS to 35658. Both numbers must have 13 digits to be accepted and there is a once-off cost of R3 to register. Once registration is completed, results will be delivered by SMS when they are released.
- Use the USSD service by dialling *120*35658#. After answering multiple questions, enter your ID number. You’ll receive your results per subject after you’ve completed the process. You’ll have the option to opt in or out to comply with the Protection of Personal Information Act. USSD rates apply.
- On 9 January, the names of successful candidates will be published in newspapers. You’ll need to know your exam number, which will be used instead of your name.
Minister of Basic Education Angie Motshekga will announce the national results and provincial performances on Tuesday 7 January 2020.
