The results of the 2022 National Senior Certificate (NSC) exams in South Africa are expected to be released on January 19, with original statements available from January 20. The exams were taken by a record number of 923,460 full-time and part-time students from October 31 to December 7.

A team of 52,811 markers graded the exams from December 10 to December 20. The Department of Basic Education (DBE) has urged students to collect their results from the centers where they took the exams.

The DBE has also provided dates for remarking and rechecking exams, as well as registration for the June and November 2023 exams. Students have until February 3 to apply for remarking, until February 8 to register for the May/June 2023 exams, and until March 15 to register for the October/November 2023 exams.

The release of the NSC results can be a stressful time for some students, who may face pressure from their families or feel anxious or depressed. The DBE has advised students to keep busy by reading, exercising, and staying safe. Students who are struggling with stress and anxiety are encouraged to talk to someone about their feelings or contact the South African Depression and Anxiety Group for professional advice on managing stress.

The DBE has emphasized the importance of collecting results from the centers where exams were taken. This is to ensure that students receive accurate and official results and to prevent any potential issues or delays.

The NSC exams are a crucial milestone in a student’s education and can have a significant impact on their future opportunities. The DBE is committed to ensuring that the exam process is fair and transparent, and that results are released in a timely manner.

The DBE has also provided resources and support for students who may be struggling with the exam process or who need assistance preparing for future exams. These resources include information on how to apply for remarking or rechecking exams, as well as guidance on how to register for future exams.

The DBE is dedicated to supporting students and helping them achieve their full potential. By providing access to quality education and resources, the DBE aims to ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed and reach their goals.

As the release of the NSC results approaches, the DBE encourages students to stay focused and stay positive, and to remember that there are resources available to support them during this important time.
