Same❤I realized people will always talk...no matter what

me too bro , I matriculated in 2020, but I'm adding maths and rewriting others , I was going to do it this year and rush but I realised it's been too long since high school and I need more time to do a subject I've never done before, but for all the embarrassment I don't care because when you are where you want ot be by God's grace or whatever you believe in it will be worth it, best of luck to you too

I couldn’t wrap my head around wearing uniform again😂😭, but best of luck for the year!😅❤️

@@medschool_chronicles 😂😂i know but thanks 😊

@@Blac_bubbles hey how did you go about doing that ?

@@axelbasemenane9927 I 100% recommend I don’t even believe my results I got : Maths 69% ( I’ll do a remarking ) Physical science 66% Business studies 90% ( it was new subject that I did only in matric ) Life sciences 84% English FAl 81% Isizulu home 78% ( I’ll do a remarking) But it’s sad that in most university I was rejected by the time results came out even for nursing I guess I’ll take a gap of UWC doesn’t pull through.

@@Blac_bubbles where did you do your matric twice?

Catch me at the rewriting center baby!😂🔥🤙

Me

Hi guys I'm in Johannesburg CBD wich school can I go to re write

me!!

Me✌

Hey, when I was upgrading I didn’t have a tutor, I used YT, past papers and study guides.

@@medschool_chronicles okay, thanks for responding.

Hi Sihle please drop me a dm on insta @esona_siphango

They’ll consider your SBA if it has the potential of increasing your marks but if you did well in the exams and your sba decreases your overall mark then it’s not considered

@@medschool_chronicles ohh, okay thank you👍❤️

Hi so wagcin wenz njani

writing in may means you have to cover the whole years work within 5 months whereas writing in November means you have more time.

i only applied for NSFAS, and it wasn't a hassle.

@@medschool_chronicles 😫🤌Thing Is I'm already studying something and upgrading at the same time

@@medschool_chronicles I'm upgrading my marks. I decided to only apply for Nsfas this year and then when I'm doing my first year, I'll look into other bursaries, will that be possible

​@@medschool_chronicles hey , can you clarify on the period of time for upgrading, when exactly can you upgrade because I hear others saying that you can only upgrade years after matric .. can't I upgrade exactly after my matric year ?

Hi! So essentially what happens is you apply with your current NSC and in your application it will ask what you are currently doing, you will then choose "Re-writing" or "Improving" (something along those lines.) Then you complete your application and you will be put on a waiting list until your re-write results are released and from there the university will consider your application.

Yes you can

I used my current statement

@@medschool_chronicles please elaborate on that because I'm also worried that you write in May/June but by August when results come out it's closed so now I have to wait for next year?

Your results will be out around August and applications normally close I think around October so you’ll be able to apply but for the following year.

@@medschool_chronicles how do we apply

Yes, they may reconsider you.

No tshomi

it's TRUE. But how do we apply with so many statement 🤦‍♀️

i had a bachelors pass and my certificate was combined.

Please send me a dm on insta at esona_siphango or an email at esonasiphango3@gmail.com

No your previous Mark's will remain uma basho abaningi

Yeah, but call and email them to tell them your situation and when the results become available also, because some unis will consider it and some won’t

Apparently what I was told is that for you to qualify to write in Nov you should have written in June. You're given 2 chances, if you fail in June, you still have a chance at the end of the year.

They normally ask for your most current results, which would be your matric. Some unis like WSU don’t , but most do.

Yes you are✨

Unfortunately 😭😭😭

But can they reconsider your application in January(2025) when results come out by placing you on a waitlist? When initially(during your application, 2024)you stated that you were upgrading?

They being the medicine administrators?

They will normally ask for both

Hi, I managed to bump up my maths from a 3 to a 5 and my physics from a 4 to a 6 and this got me acceptance into pharmacy which then got me acceptance into medicine.

@@medschool_chronicles do you think you would’ve still done well even if you wrote in June?

which varsity do you attend?

@@sinqobilemashaya6793 i believe he's a student at UP

@@dawncosmic8080 definitely not😭

As long as it’s NSC or SC, they should.

Yes it is possible

Yes it is possible

July

Visit your nearest DOE and you’ll be able to register

Apply again

It should be, just explain that that’s what you want to do when applying to upgrade so they can help you with it.

Last I checked they do.

Use faith not fear.

yes

That's what I've done

About 6-12 weeks

No, amended is for people who are 21+ with no grade 12 nsc statement I guess, but alll I know is the June exam is NSC also you can combine it with your previous November

Is it not grade 13 ke😂😂😂

Yes you can

I also want to upgrade next year but I'm doing my final year, I'm worried the exams are gonna clash😢

Yes definitely, just push your average to be above 80 to be on the safe side of things. But also that’s just for a safe bet, it’s not a guarantee. But you can get in.

Hey 😨😨😨

Hi, please dm me on Instagram @esona_siphango or send me an email on esonasiphango3@gmail.com

​@@medschool_chroniclessiphango

Hi, mine came back combined already

But you have to send it to the main DOE in your province to get it merged

1🥹🤌🏽for LO😌

😂😂😂NO! I improved both my maths and physics by more than 10%

You can. You’d just have to wait because if you rewrite in November, by then applications for med are already closed. Even if you rewrite in June, you’ll get your results in august so you’d have to rewrite, then apply the following year. So you’d rewrite this year, then apply next year for the 2026 intake🥹 but WSU won’t consider your application because they don’t consider upgrading students.

Is WSU the only University that doesn't consider upgrading students?

Yeah I think you can

Different subjects or the same subjects, because you basically given a second chance not adding not subjects, if you want rewrite 4 then register 4 at once then if you fail in June you can still write in November

Did you get accepted in UP

Some unis will but just call and email them on the day of the results

You should get an sms from your school telling you your timetable is available for collection like a month before writing then they should give you more information about your exam venue upon collection of the timetable.

It must be a new system they have in place, but I suggest you visit your nearest DOE or your school and try register for the November exams and have them tell you you can’t write as opposed to listening to hearsay. Otherwise you can try an upgrading college which could have different closing dates hopefully

Hey sorry for the late response, the second ones were: 60s for AL and QL then 50 something for MAT I don’t remember the exact numbers

Nsc

I think that works at colleges only, the last time I checked at schools they want you to write at June first then if you are not not happy with those results then November

@@scoopspy3065 if I'm upgrading with the department of education do they allow that

@@jada4113 I'm really not sure buddy please ask around, I'm currently kinda in the same situation now, I submitted my application without telling them whether I want to write on June or November. I heard someone say if you write on June and not happy with your results, they will allow you to write again on November but you need to register before the end of September, remember we get those June results on July/August so you must register for November (but remember this can only be done by those who registered and wrote on June not everyone) . Basically if you don't register for November after you have written your June exams that means you are satisfied with those results and you ready to use them to apply to universities.

​@@scoopspy3065 but then how will I apply with my upgraded marks after writing in November since applications will be closed?

@@Tanya.Ukpaka if you have applied for may/June you are already in the system so you can reapply for November because you are not a new registration

If your current marks can get you a provisional acceptance

If there is a way, how can I do that?

I applied with my first set of matric results and as soon as the upgraded ones became available in Jan I sent them through

@@medschool_chronicles how did you manage to send them through? because you'll need a full combined "better" NSC certificate inorder to be accepted...and it take 4-6 weeks to recieve your combined NSC results...

@@medschool_chronicles’ve been trying to send you an email but it doesn’t go through ☹️ I have a serious dilemma that I don’t know what to do about it and I NEEDyour opinion please

@@dawncosmic8080 hi please double check the email address or dm me on insta. esonasiphango3@gmail.com

@@medschool_chronicles hi I’ve sent the email , please check whenever you’re able to 🌹

Yes I did, but they were online and most varsity didn’t need them for the 2021 intake

No ma’am, they’re just like the November ones only difference is the time. In May you’re writing a years worth of work In 4 months basically whereas with the November ones you have more time to prepare

@@medschool_chroniclesthank you is it a must to rewite on your previous school because I'm relocating.

@@akhonaangel5120 no its not necessary you can pick any school you want, yes depends whether that school will accept you or not

Depends on when you’re writing, June or November

Thanks

Affect them in what way?

No if by some means you don't write you will get those results back as they are, even if you fail, they only take the higher mark

Hey I really don’t know any besides Star schools in joburg and the UKZN/DUT program

Yes you can.

You can only combine your matric results only if you have upgraded at a different school, if you Decide to upgrade at your previous school there is no need ONLY OF YOU GOT A BACHELOR'S PASS If you diploma or higher, you definitely should combine

Yes

@@medschool_chronicles so, basically, instead of a supplementary, you wrote the Nov exam of that year?

@@ntsebomolapo7752 yes but it was because of covid

I will do my research and get back to you latest Monday.

Hi, yes it.

@@medschool_chronicles hey what’s your ig handle I really need to dm please 🙏

Try cna they should have the students version

Yes it is, but please just explain this when registering to rewrite so they can help you with the process

Ohk thank u

@@keithvilakazi4838 how did you go bro, is it a must to write at June?

@@scoopspy3065 no it's not u choose between June and November

I don’t think I understand your question , could you please rephrase it

is it possible to add a subject you didn’t do in grade 12 when upgrading?

@@Noturregul please visit your nearest DOE for confirmation but it apparently is, you’d just have to remove one of the subjects you did do

@@medschool_chronicles thank you, I want to remove EGD

With the right tutor/teacher, yes it is. But please consider writing in November so you have enough time to prep

​@@medschool_chronicles my sba mark was bringing me overall mark down so they suggested i do senior certificate which excludes the sba, so june wouldn't be the beat to write? Rather in November
