If you’re a Grade 12 learner at an IEB school that administers Matric examinations, you can find the final IEB exam timetable 2023 in both English and Afrikaans.
The Independent Examinations Board is an assessment agency for schooling and adult education in South Africa. It has accreditation from the Umalusi Council in this regard.
Matric IEB exam timetable 2023
You can download the English version of the Matric IEB exam timetable 2023 on the IEB NSC website here. The Afrikaans version is also available here. Both documents are in PDF.
The first paper, Life Orientation CAT Part B, was held on 12 September followed by Life Sciences on 13 September. The last exam, Sport and Exercise Science, is scheduled for 28 November. The timetable shows all the papers along with their dates and times.
“The IEB uses the South African National Curriculum which is regulated by the Department of Basic Education,” the Board states on its website, adding that its National Senior Certificate (NSC) is an internationally recognised benchmarked qualification that is equivalent to Cambridge AS level.
Its average pass rate is between 97% and 98%. Additionally, 78% to 80% of IEB NSC matriculants pass with entry to degree study.

“The marking guidelines are only guidelines. They do not reflect the full range of acceptable and partially acceptable answers that applied during the marking session,” the Board cautions.
Good luck!
