What’s The Maximum Number Of Subjects One Can Rewrite For Matric Exams?
Unlike what is obtainable in the past, learners are now allowed to rewrite as many subjects as they like so long as they meet the requirements. According to the Department of Basic Education, this new development is to ensure there will be a better pass rate.
