A second message describes renewed hope and a commitment to work harder. Level 7 and studying at Wits were aspirations in this conversation, rather than confirmed results or admission. The screenshot mentions a Paper 1 score of 113 but does not show the maximum mark, so no percentage is calculated.

The report’s overall marks show 83% in Term 1, 89% in Term 2, 89% in Term 3 and 91% in Term 4, with an 88% year mark. That is an eight-percentage-point rise between Terms 1 and 4.

Accounting rose from 62% in Term 1 to 82% in the Term 2 exam and 84% in the final exam—a gain of 22 percentage points from Term 1. Compared with the Term 2 exam, Drama rose by 28 points, Physical Sciences by 21 and Information Technology by 20.

All eleven subjects with both a Term 2 exam mark and a final exam mark increased. Mathematics finished at 78%, above its Term 2 mark of 74% but slightly below Term 1’s 79%. Geography finished at 76%, above Term 2’s 75% but below Term 1’s 80%.

The final marks were shared by her parent. The earlier report uses Term 1 cycle marks and Term 2 exam marks, so these are different assessments. Creative Arts and the combined Natural Sciences and Social Sciences totals have no matching final total in the message. These results do not imply that NationRise tutored every listed subject.
