The November 2023 Zimbabwe School Examinations Council examination results are out.

In a statement released this afternoon, Zimsec board chairperson, Professor Eddie Mwenje, said candidates can start accessing their results through the examination body’s portal on the Zimsec website.

“With effect from today, 12 January 2024, 1500hrs, Advanced Level Examination Candidates' results will be accessible to all Candidates and authorised personnel online through the ZIMSEC portal accessed through the ZIMSEC Website www.zimsec.co.zw.

Please take note that this portal will be open for 5 days only. Heads of Examination Centres will be able to collect the results for their respective schools/centres from our Regional Offices on Monday, 15 January 2024,”

Zimsec said the 2023 pass rate was 94.60%, which is higher than the 88% for 2022.

A total 34 437 candidates sat for the November 2023 examinations as compared to 36 945 in November 2022, reflecting a drop of 6.79% in the candidature.

“In November 2023, 34 060 wrote 2 or more subjects compared to 36 385 in 2022. For those who wrote two or more subjects, 32 221 obtained a Grade E or better. This translates to a pass rate of 94.60% compared to 88% pass rate for November 2022. The pass rate for 2023, therefore, increased by 6.60%.

Prof Mwenje added that candidates who did not submit their Continuous Assessment Learning Activities do not receive results as they are deemed not to have completed their Assessment.

“At this juncture, it is imperative to remind all candidates, parents, and stakeholders that the Continuous Assessment Learning Activities are integral to the candidates’ learning and assessment. Candidates who do not submit their CALAs are considered to have not completed their assessment therefore they do not receive results,” said Prof. Mwenje.
