Learners can find their results as soon as they are released by the following methods:
Online
Log onto the Department of Basic Education’s website. If you attended a public/government school, then your results will be available on this website. You will need the following to log in: your exam number, home language and your personal details (name, surname, etc.)
The newspaper
Your results will be published in the daily newspapers, such as IOL’s The Mercury and News24 will also have them available online. Remember, it will not be your full results. It will just state whether or not you passed and with what symbol you passed – B for Bachelors Pass, D for Diploma, etc.
Your distinctions don't mean anything in varsity.Univesity humbles us all #MatricResults2016

The results will be released at the different schools at 8am on Thursday, 5 January, except in the Western Cape, where the results will be made available on the 6 January.
Your cellphone
You can use your cellphone (or someone else’s) to receive your results. SABC has a News Break Matric Results Service which allows you to receive your results as soon as they’re released.
Follow these steps to sign up for the service:
SMS your exam number and ID number to 35658. There is a once-off cost of R3 when you register. When the Department of Education releases the results, you will receive your results via SMS immediately.
Call your school
You could also opt for the old-school method by giving the department a call on the day that the results are released. Just take note that a lot of matric learners will be calling in to find out their results so you might wait for quite a while. Dial 082 152 for your results.
