Ease your Matric results anxiety with the IOL Matric portal

We have been there. The stress, the nerves and the anxiety are at an all-time high as thousands await the matric results. That's why we have a Matric portal to ease the stress and to help you navigate through it all.

Matrics and parents, make sure you’re following the IOL Matric Portal, a dedicated section on IOL that brings you the latest news, information, and helpful advice on matric exams, results, and student support.

Here’s what you’ll find on the portal:

Latest Matric News: Updates on results release dates, exam developments, university admission timelines and more from reliable reporters.

Advice and well‑being articles: Mental health is a huge deal, that's why the portal also includes tips on coping with exam stress, parental support, and motivation as results approach.

Career and study guides: Articles about future study costs, job trends and post‑matric opportunities that can help you plan your next steps.

Result Access Info: Coverage of how nationally released matric results can be accessed online and via services like SMS — including options linked to IOL’s own result services.

Hotlines: If you are feeling particularly anxious or feeling like the marks are the be-all and end-all – it's not – then there is also a list of hotlines to contact if you need someone to talk to.
