Thank you so much! I feel so motivated and I don’t care what people think anymore, at the end I know it’ll be worth it
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
Thank you, I so grateful 🙏🙏💙
Thank you for sharing your story with us , I’m truly inspired 🙏🏽
Thank you for the information. Very helpful ✨
Thank you so much. This video had such great pointers! You are helping so many people who are considering this journey.
Thanks for the part about sending proof to the universities, very helpful.
Highly informative 🙌
Best videos about upgrading on TH-cam wow very informative unlike the one's I've been getting
Thank you very much , I'm inspired
I got motivated by your vid on this other channel.... I'm def upgrading my marks ❤️🔥✅
This was very informative and really helpful thank you,I'm beginning my upgrading process and I hope all things go well🤝🏾❤️
Saw your vid on sihle medic's channel.
And I had to check out if U had started ur channel already (glad U did and I hope it goes a long long way✨)
And thank you so much, the information and your story into medicine hasn't only pushed me to study even harder for my finals but also gives me a sense of motivation that if I don't get into medicine next year it's not the end of the world and if I truly want it I should work hard for it, keep pushing and appreciate every little opportunity I get.
This is so motivating though I decided to repeat my whole matric year and be full time candidate
I couldn’t wrap my head around wearing uniform again😂😭, but best of luck for the year!😅❤️
@@medschool_chronicles 😂😂i know but thanks 😊
@@Thembeka_Zwide 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.
@@Thembeka_Zwide where did you do your matric twice?
I just want to say thank you 🥺🙏♥️
Esona poi I was once there too, I know the journey ntwana. If it was not for covid I would have failed my maths bra, covid helped me a lot, but still I did not get what I desired but this year I’m coming for 3rd attempt☺️. It’s true everything you said, danko poi☺️🙏🏽💯
Thank youuu so much yoh!!! This helped
Thank you
Who else is upgrading their Matric 2022 marks in May? 😅
Catch me at the rewriting center baby!😂🔥🤙

Hi guys I'm in Johannesburg CBD wich school can I go to re write
me!!
Me✌
Thank you🥺❤️🤟
Hey there! Glad to have stumbled upon your video. Wanted to know which codes you got for the subjects you rewrote if you don't mind?
After watching your inspirational video on Sihle medic's channel, I had to find your channel. Enkosi bhuti for sharing more on the upgrading options, it's very helpful. Please tell me who tutored you Physics and how we can reach them. One day I'll also share my journey to medicine ngegama leNkosi.
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.
Watching this now but i matriculated last year ❤
I dropped out of varsity about 6 years ago. I was going through a lot and started performing poorly in my academics. I would like to one day (soon) see myself doing medicine and I am willing to start off studying a less intense course just to fix my academic record, as I qualify for some at different universities, then later on shoot my shot at MedSchool
What is the best advise you can give me. Thank you so much in advance
Hi Sihle please drop me a dm on insta @esona_siphango
Currently taking a gap year and honestly I'm not coping
When we upgrade do work for 100% (without SBA mark from previous year grade 12) or 75% (with the other 25% being the SBA from previous year grader 12) during the examination
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👍❤️
Thank you so much. So when upgrading (years after matric) in may/june, do the results come out in August?
As long as it’s NSC or SC, they should.
Thank you❤🎉 but l want to ask if is possible to split your subjects like write in may/June and November if you upgrade 4 subjects?
If applications close by July - how do you get your results to the university in time because you only got your results in January of the following year?
Hey Esona, I am a first year student studying BA in communications and I am planning to drop out and rather upgrade my maths marks and life science in May/Jun 2024. and study Occupational Therapy. Will getting my results in Aug not affect my application process,and for the application should I still use my grade 11 results or just use my first matric results?
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.
Hi!! Thank you so much for the motivation so I wanted to ask if it Is too late to go register to upgrade my marks in the November/December exams now
No tshomi
Does anyone know any accredited institutions?
If you are repeating grade 12 from the beginning like doing term 1 to term4 but different school from prev one (public to private )and want to apply for medicine should one use their previous statement or grade 11 results to apply ? And also do they consider learners who are starting matric from the beginning
They normally ask for your most current results, which would be your matric. Some unis
like WSU don’t , but most do.
I went and registered for writing on June and I want to write on November so even if I won't go and write on June and I register to write on November is it okay?
hy please I want to ask if uprading in an private school or public which is is best
I would like to rewrite physics and English in the may/June exams,but does this mean I lose the whole year or will I still be able to apply at a university during the year with my upgraded resluts
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
So i decided to upgrade my math and physics in the May/June exams, but i dont feel confident that i will get into medicine with those upgraded results, so i decided to apply for another upgrade at the end of year exams in November, my question is, when i apply for medicine and uni in general do i send in my May/June results or the end of year, and how do i explain my situation to the university?
Hi so wagcin wenz njani
So is it possible to rewrite in the upgrading institution I registered to then when I get my results I can go to DBE to add my new results with the rest of the subjects I didn't rewrite as my new statement? Hope my question makes sense
Yes it is possible
Hi I'm currently In a different province how do I go on about the procedures of rewriting?
Visit your nearest DOE and you’ll be able to register
Am currently doing Bcom in Accounting and I want to do medicine, is it possible for me to add life science and physics to my matric certificate while studying towards a degree
Yes it is possible
If you got rejected by the varsity you , then on January when you have good marks ,are they going to accept me ?
Yes, they may reconsider you.
So if I apply for May/June and get my results in August I can get into 2 semester or do I have to for the year to end. And if you apply for may/june do you still have to apply for Oct/Dec??
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.
Is it possible for me to upgrade maths and physics in June and others in November?
It should be, just explain that that’s what you want to do when applying to upgrade so they can help you with it.
Hello did you combine your results?
Hey if I may ask ... I'm also upgrading 4 subjects and I am planning to study BEng in civil engineering next year. Thing is I do not meet the minimum requirements.. thou I passed the two subjects ..if I apply and state that I'm upgrading will my application be considered even though I do not meet the minimum requirements?
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
Wait , when in matric you have to apply using your g11 final results for conditional and finals of matric will solidate your spot. But now when you upgrade and writing end of year , how do you apply since it's past the health faculty deadline ? Do you apply using your current grade 12 statement or will you have have to wait yet another year before admission ?😭
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?
Is it true that when you are rewriting, they do not include your SBA mark from the previous year?
Last I checked they do.
If you apply for the May/June rewrite but don't do well, can you also apply for the Job/Dec rewrite in that same year?
Yes you can
Heyyy
I did Maths Lit in High school but i want to do Maths and physical sciences do you have any suggestions
Please send me a dm on insta at esona_siphango or an email at esonasiphango3@gmail.com
I also rewriting maths and science. Im writing end of year and im so scared
When do
Matric upgrade forms usually come out cause I went on my old school and they said they haven’t arrived?
July
Need advice . I applied for courses that l don’t want in UP. Since l am upgrading this year . Will l be able to change my courses in 2025 ?
Hi ..I hope you're good ...I currently studying in university of Venda an extended program(since I didn'tdo well in matric)...but would love to enroll for Medicine ...my question is wen I apply ...should I use my varsity marks or should I just use mi previous matric marks?
They will normally ask for both
Hi.Is it true that if you got a bachelor’s pass on your first matric certificate,once you decide to upgrade some subjects,you will not be able to get a combined matric certificate with your new results?
it's TRUE.
But how do we apply with so many statement 🤦♀️
i had a bachelors pass and my certificate was combined.
What's more important or special to rewrite on may/June exam than to rewriting on October/November exams
writing in may means you have to cover the whole years work within 5 months whereas writing in November means you have more time.
Yhooo now i am scaptical 😢I did poorly in my Matric 2015 wonder will I be able to make it to 50% atleast for my maths 😢
Use faith not fear.
hey i applied for a rewrite at my high school but i haven’t gotten a response or any type of information from The department of education yet . When are they likely to give me a response ?
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.
So what if your marks come back worse, do you get to keep your previous marks?
Hi quick question, am I able to rewrite let's say 2 subjects in May/June then another 2 in October/November?
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
Hello,im currently doing bsc my final year ..but i wanna upgrade so i can get into med..should i do both my bsc and upgrading or drop out and focus on upgrading..my bsc marks are good ..60 and 70s but not the best for med so i wanna guarantee admission
I also want to upgrade next year but I'm doing my final year, I'm worried the exams are gonna clash😢
Was it difficult for you to get a bursary? Or what process did you follow when applying for a bursary while upgrading
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 ?
Hey, so since you're in UP and doing medicine, do they want NBT? Because I'm also upgrading and wish to do medicine in UP as well
Did you get accepted in UP
How long does it take to combine the two statements
About 6-12 weeks
After how many years, after my matric am I permitted to upgrade? E.g if I matriculated in perhaps 2018, am I allowed to upgrade even in 2023?
Yes you are✨
Hey when you’re upgrading at your old school how do you go about combining your statement?
Hi, mine came back combined already
But you have to send it to the main DOE in your province to get it merged
Hi please where can I talk to you directly? I’m frustrated and I’d like your opinion or advise
Hi, please dm me on Instagram @esona_siphango or send me an email on esonasiphango3@gmail.com
@@medschool_chroniclessiphango
@MEDSchool_Chronicles is this green and yellow study written teacher's guide cause I can't find the you put in the video on Takealot
Try cna they should have the students version
Is it possible that maybe for example you obtained a level 3 in Maths then you decide to upgrade and then you fail from level 3 to level 1 is your matric certificate going to change and write level 1 under Maths subject?
No your previous Mark's will remain uma basho abaningi
Im hear a year later
If I rewrite now in June or Nov 2024…. Can I apply for admission for 2025 with my 2023 results in the meantime and then indicate that I am upgrading? I saw on other videos that they say it is allowed?
Yes you can
Is it possible to apply and get accepted for medicine even though I’m upgrading this year?
If your current marks can get you a provisional acceptance
Hi.I saw your video on sihle's channel and I'm motivated🥺.
I applied for MBCHB last year and got rejected,I took a gap year.. applied again but still got rejected...even Rhodes rejected me for pharmacy though I got 6 in maths and 7s in physics and LFS 😔..but I got accepted for BSc at Rhodes....I would like to know if it will be possible to transfer from BSc to medicine at UP?
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 😨😨😨
See I got Batchelor Pass but I want to improve 2 subjects, will that affect my last year results because I want to write November exams
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 is it possible to transfer from physiotherapy to medicine after first year modules?
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 🙏
may i ask how your nbt results were?
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
Bro if I'm accepted for 2024 then I decide that I wanna go in 2025 to do my first year instead of 2024 what must i do in order to be accepted again?
Apply again
I indicated that I'm upgrading but my application was rejected .will I my application be reconsidered after results?
Some unis will but just call and email them on the day of the results
So if I rewrite I cannot apply directly for medicine? I have to apply for a different course then transfer to medicine?
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?
Isn't it possible to apply to Uni before your results come out,because I saw some Universities have the option to let them know you are upgrading
yes
That's what I've done
Is amended results same as upgrading?
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 possible to upgrade and rewrite at the same time but different subjects .
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
Can I send my upgraded results along with my proof of upgrading when I'm applying?
Yes, please do
@@medschool_chronicles hope you ok..can you please assist,how do you apply for the study program (choice) you want..well since I'm upgrading I'm still told I do not meet the requirements..
@@theemajesty so in the unis like UP/NMU that only show you what you qualify for I applied for whatever I could get and in the other ones that just show you everything I applied for what I wanted regardless of me not meeting the minimum requirements. Because I had hope they’d reconsider when my upgraded results became available
Hi, how well did you do after upgrade? Did you get accepted with upgraded results?
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😭
I have a question is it possible to write 3subjects on June and finish on November
Yes it is, but please just explain this when registering to rewrite so they can help you with the process
Ohk thank u

Depends on when you’re writing, June or November

Hii, I’m really sorry for the late response, you can dm me on Instagram or send me an email
esona_siphango or esonasiphango3@gmail.com
Bro did you write nbts
Yes I did, but they were online and most varsity didn’t need them for the 2021 intake
are u at mama Anita's house
Did ur certificate came out as NSC or SC
Nsc
Which accredited institutions do you recommend
Hey I really don’t know any besides Star schools in joburg and the UKZN/DUT program
Hi Esona, quick question what happens if you've missed the re-write application date for writing in May/June, can i still apply to rewrite in Nov/Dec? I completed matric last year, and I've had that the class of 2022 can only rewrite in Nov/Dec if they have written in May/June first.
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
How many distinctions did you get?
1🥹🤌🏽for LO😌
If I don't write in June will the allow me to write in October/November
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
You can still get your statements combined even if you initially obtained a bachelor pass?
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
Did you apply for pharmacy while upgrading and only sent your results in January or?
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...
