Q: Do you need to apply with your grade 11 report when going to varsity? A: Normally you do not have to apply for varsity with your grade 11 results. However, it is advisable to apply using your grade 11 marks to make sure that you have a spot in the course for the year after you leave school. When you apply using your grade 11 marks you are provisionally accepted. This means that you have a spot in the course as long as you pass matric with the necessary entrance requirements. No matter what your marks are in grade 11, your final matric results are what matter most.

Q: I am in grade 11 and I would like to study medicine and specialise in psychiatry. I take Maths, and Biology; my only concern is that I take maths on standard grade. Can I get into medicine with standard grade maths? A: You may still apply to study medicine at a University if you are on Standard Grade maths. At the University of Cape Town, for example, you need at least 40% on Higher Grade for both maths and physical science. For Standard Grade you need at least 50% for both these subjects. You will also need a matric exemption. For more information visit: http://www.uct.ac.za
