THE Zimbabwe Schools Examination Council (Zimsec) has embarked on a registration mop-up exercise for the November Ordinary and Advanced Level 2025 Examinations to cater to candidates who failed to register by the initial deadline.
Initially, the deadline had been set for Friday, but following requests from parliamentarians, Government agreed to grant an extension after consulting key stakeholders.
In a circular, the examination body revealed that the exercise will run from 31 March to 16 May.
“This circular serves to advise all Heads of examination centres, candidates, parents and stakeholders that the Council has provided a registration mop-up and consolidation facility for the November Ordinary and Advanced Level 2025 Examinations to accommodate candidates who failed to register during the registration period.
“The registration mop-up window will accommodate, inter alia, candidates who failed to meet the deadline for registration for the November 2025 Examinations, candidates who wish to amend their initial registration and candidates who would like to update their Continuous Assessment (CA) declaration details,” reads part of the circular.
The exercise is also catering for centres that erroneously registered private candidates as Formal candidates and would like to regularise their registration and top up examination fees in line with Government policy on eligibility for Examination fees subsidy.
“This facility does not apply to June and Grade Seven 2025 registration. Candidates who missed registration for the June Examinations may register for the November Examinations during this period. Please note that this facility will not be extended beyond the stipulated deadline,” reads the circular.
