Randfontein’s matriculants eagerly await their matric results to find out if they will be off to university or if they should go back to the drawing board.

Where to find your 2015 matric results:

Newspapers:
The results will be available in major newspapers all over the country, however, these tend to sell out quickly.

There are various ways to get your results online. The first is by visiting the Department of Basic Education’s website. Matrics are required to provide their exam number and the website will generate their result.

USSD:
SABC Education has also launched a way in which matrics can easily access their results via USSD on their cellphones. Matrics can dial *120*35685# and enter their ID and exam number when prompted to do so to register and once the results are out, they will receive their results per subject.
The cost of the USSD function is 20 cents per 20 seconds. Pupils may contact the call centre should they encounter any problems on 011 504 0008, Monday to Friday from 8am to 5pm.
SMS:
To receive results via SMS, pupils can sent an SMS to 35685 that should include their ID and student number – both numbers should have 13 digits in order to be accepted.
