The Department of Basic Education (DBE) released the May/July 2024 Matric Rewrite results on 7 August. Should the matriculant be unhappy with their matric results or see any possible errors, they can apply for a matric exam remark or recheck. This will see their matric results re-evaluated for any errors.
Applications for matric remarks and rechecks will close on 20 August. The cost of a remark is R116 per paper and for a recheck, it's R29 per paper.
Candidates can also apply to view their matric exam scripts at a fee of R220 with applications for viewing closing on 20 August as well.
What Is A Matric Re-check?
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 Re-mark?
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 Re-mark/Re-check
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
- Click on the education icon, which displays a graduation cap

It's important to note that before applying online, learners can make a payment for the remark or recheck application. Their exam number must be used as their reference number when making the payment.
