In 2025, about 1 in 3 matric candidates wrote Mathematics and more than 1 in 4 wrote Physical Sciences. While 64% of Maths candidates and 77% of Physical Sciences candidates passed (30% or above), only 13% and 15%, respectively, achieved 60% or more. This means that fewer than 5% of all matriculants leave school with 60% or more in either subject.
