Examination Fees & Government Subsidies

Examination fees have been set in US dollars. A Government subsidy is available for eligible candidates in public schools, local authority schools, and non-profit mission schools. Private candidates, those attending private schools, and those retaking subjects are required to pay the full amount.

O’ Level: Candidates will pay US$24 per subject. The Government covers US$13 for qualifying candidates, leaving them to pay US$11.

A’ Level: Candidates will pay US$48 per subject, with a Government subsidy of US$26, bringing the cost down to US$22 for eligible students.

The Government will subsidize a maximum of seven subjects at the O’Level and four subjects at A’Level, including Communication Skills.

The subsidy will not apply to candidates retaking any subjects, and the Basic Education Assistance Module (BEAM) will not cover repeat exams.

Payment Options and Encouragement

Payments can be made in US dollars, South African Rand, or Zimbabwe Gold at the prevailing interbank rate as of March 10, 2024, for the June session and March 24, 2024, for the November session.

With the exam season approaching, students are being urged to register early and take advantage of the available Government subsidies.
