Passing matric is an important milestone as it allows us to explore various career paths and is essential for our employability in South Africa. Sometimes, however, we will have to try more than once to get our matric certificates and there is absolutely no shame in attempting the exams more than once.

In fact, doing so is an admirable display of bravery and perseverance!

Feeling flustered and frustrated is of course a natural reaction to a perceived failure but avoid staying in that mind-set for too long. It is important to remember to dust yourself off and try again whenever you do not succeed.

The goal posts may have moved, but do not take your eye off your long-term goal. Give yourself the opportunity to try again. Oxbridge Academy can help you achieve your academic goals with their Matric Certificate course.

Those who apply for the programme must choose six subjects, two of which must be official languages. The subjects are as follows:

  • Life Orientation
  • Mathematics
  • Mathematical Literacy
  • Physical Science
  • Life sciences
  • Geography
  • History
  • Accounting
  • Business Studies
  • Economics
  • Agricultural Science

Matric Pass Requirements

You will have to meet the following requirements for you to pass matric:

  • Three subjects at 40% or above, one of these must be an official language at Home Language level.
  • Two subjects at 30%, one of these subjects must be an official language at First Language level.
  • A submission of 20% for the sixth subject

What can you do with your senior certificate?

A matric qualification can open many doors for you because you need it to qualify for most jobs like internships, as well as entry level jobs. So, enrol in their  matric certificate course and let the distance learning college that cares take you to greater heights.
