Some candidates either tested positive for Covid or were experiencing symptoms during this exam period and were then allowed to write in a special isolated venue.
A positive of this exam is that cheating involving crib notes, cell phone usage and impostors were less than in previous years.
This examination period is used for the following cases:
- Adult candidates that have not attained a Matric qualification
- Candidates that wrote the previous November examination but may not have met the requirements for a certificate
- Candidates that wrote the previous November examination and may have passed but wish to improve their results
- Learners who dropped out of school due to special circumstances
- Candidates who were absent from the November examination with a valid reason
