NATIONAL NEWS - The WCED is appealing to the 7 000 pupils who qualify for supplementary examinations to immediately check the WCED website where application forms and additional information can be found. The closing date is Wednesday 20 January 2016.
Candidates qualify to write supplementary examinations if one of the following applies:
• if they still need a maximum of two of their subjects to pass
• if they were unable to write for medical reasons (the candidate would need to attach a medical certificate report from their doctor)
• if there was a death in their immediate family, or other special reasons why they could not write
Candidates also have the opportunity to have their scripts re-marked or rechecked.
Details on how to apply for a re-mark, re-check or the supplementary exams are available on the WCED website.

The closing date for applications to write the February/ March supplementary examination is Wednesday 20 January 2016. The NSC Supplementary Examination is scheduled to commence on 10 February 2016 and conclude on 17 March 2016.
Re-marking of scripts
Candidates can also apply to have their scripts re-marked for subjects they have failed or where they did not obtain the results they needed for specific purposes - for example - to obtain a bursary or satisfy university requirements. In such a case, a letter of motivation requesting the re-mark must accompany the application. Applications not accompanied by the afore-mentioned will not be considered.
The Department will only agree to the re-marking of scripts in a subject in which a candidate has failed to obtain 40% only for the purpose of obtaining matriculation endorsement (diploma or bachelor pass) or when a bursary is at stake. The fee for re-marking of scripts is R86 per subject script.
Candidates may apply for their scripts to be checked to ensure that all answers have been marked, and that the marks have been added and processed correctly. The fee for the re-checking of scripts is R19 per subject.
It is important to note that the application for remarking/re-checking scripts will not be considered without proof of payment.
Application forms and additional information can be found on the WCED website.
The closing date for application for re-marking and re-checking of scripts is Wednesday 20 January 2016.
