The reconfiguration of the June examination system saw the supplementary examination, which used to be written in February/March each year by National Senior Certificate (NSC) candidates, merged with the June Senior Certificate examination which caters for adult candidates who want to have a second chance at obtaining a matric certificate.
This included:
- Adult learners with incomplete Senior Certificate requirements, as well as those adult learners with no previous Senior Credits, provided they have completed Grade 9, standard seven or ABET Level 4
- Repeating and part-time candidates enrolled for the 2018 NSC examination, who either failed the examination or passed but wanted to improve their results
- Progressed learners who opted for the multiple examinations opportunity (MEO) option and therefore needed to complete the outstanding subjects
- Candidates who were absent from the November 2018 examination, with a valid reason
