A remark is a method used by students who have either passed or failed Matric and wish to get better results. A remark is requested so that the paper can be remarked. The examiner will carefully go through your exam and ensure that the results correlate to your given marks.<\/p>\n

If it does not, the new marks will then replace the ones you have prior. This option should only be considered if you are sure that there has been a mistake.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

You can apply for a remark or a recheck on the Department of Basic Education\u00a0e-Services website<\/a>. Here is the process laid out in easy steps:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
Step 1: Browsing The Website<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

You will need to go to the e-Gov portal to apply for either the recheck or remark for your Matric results. Keep in mind that you should be aware of the prices. Currently, as shown in the table, the recheck is R29, while the remark is set at R116.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
Step 2: Registration (if applicable)<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

If you have not already registered on the portal, you can do so. What you will need to provide is your ID and other personal details. After you have provided all the information the form requires, you will then be sent a One Time Pin (OTP). You have to enter this pin to successfully register.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
Step 3: Login<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

At this stage, your registration was successful, and you will be able to login with the username and password you created. Please make sure to use a strong password and not to share your details with anyone.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
Step 4: Select An Option<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

At this point, you should have a clear understanding of the difference between the two options available for checking your marks. You will have the option to select the option that you want.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
Step 5: Confirm Access<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

The OTP you receive from the DBE will be used at this point. Once you have chosen the option that suits you, you will use the OTP to confirm access to the remark or recheck services that are offered.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
Step 6: Request<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

You now have access to the services, but what to do next? It is simple, you can now send a request for your selected subjects to be either remarked by the examiner or rechecked. Please make sure the subjects you indicate are correct.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
Step 7: Declaration<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

As with any service, you probably saw terms and conditions or declarations of some sort. Using this service does involve checking to see if you have provided the correct information. At this point, you will need to sign a declaration stating that the information you have provided is correct.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
Step 8: Feedback<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

You will get feedback on the status of your request. That will be sent in the form of an email. Be sure to always check your emails, to ensure that you are up-to-date.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
Step 9: Results<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Once they have completed the recheck or remarked your results. You will then receive a results letter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
