However the KCPE 2021 results are ready and only official releasing is awaiting. The marking of the exams ended early yesterday.

 

A number of examiners have shared some hints of the results.

 

According to some who shared with us some tips they said the standardization for mathematics is 0.85 while that for science is 0.84

 

What this means is for example if a candidate scores 40 ticks in mathematics this means the maximum of 40 ticks will be 40 multiplied by 2 multiplied by 0.85 to get 68% and if he or she scores 50 ticks it becomes 85%

 

According to examiners who confided to us details of the exams said standardization for Mathematics is 85% Science 84% Social studies and Religion 86% English 97% while Kiswahili 97%

 

They said English and Kiswahili were well performed with most learners scoring good marks.

 

According to the markers this years KCPE results will be better than the previous year.

 

However these are speculations and we are still waiting for official announcements of the KCPE results.

 

Yesterday Education Cabinet Secretary Prof. George Magoha urged parents to start preparing their children for form one admission.

Speaking in Vihiga county after inspecting the ongoing KCSE examinations, Magoha said the next focus is on transition to secondary schools.

 

“In terms of the marking of the primary school exams I think we are about to complete, we have targets and the targets are met. I’ll start now looking for H1 because we have to first start discussing the results with him, then we shall release the results to our children,” Magoha said yesterday.

 

“—they should start preparing, let the parents prepare their children for form 1 admission,” he added.

 

Earlier on both Magoha and Early Learning and Basic Education PS Julius Jwan had assured of early release of the results to allow smooth transition to secondary school.

 

“We are determined to ensure no time is lost. Marking of exams will be concluded within a short while and results released to allow students to proceed to secondary education by May,” the PS Juan had said.

 

CS Magoha while speaking in Kayole during inspection of KCSE examinations said the announcement date will largely depend on availability of his excellency the President.

 

“Anytime between Wednesday and Saturday. Depending on His Excellency the president’s availability, we should be able to tell our children how they have performed,” said Prof Magoha last week.

This means had the president being available for the release of the exams then Thursday or Friday was the possible days for official release of 2021 KCPE results.

 

The marking of multiple choice questions was completed last week and only composition and insha papers were remaining.

 

Knec had earlier changed the date for examiners involved in marking the papers.

 

Initially the examiners were to report for the marking exercise on 18th March 2021 but Knec changed the date to 15th March.

 

Successful examiners were asked to report for the marking of insha and composition papers at Alliance High School, Starehe Boys Centre among other selected marking centres.

 

“CHANGE OF REPORTING DATE FOR EXAMINERS. You are expected to report on Tuesday 15th March 2022 at ALLIANCE HIGH SCHOOL latest by 3pm. Coordination begins immediately. Sorry for any inconvenience caused by this change. Thank you,” read a message sent to one of the examiners.

 

This year the council registered 1,225,507 candidates in 28,316 KCPE examination centres as compared to 1,191,752 candidates in 28,467 centres in 2020.

 

This reflects an increase of 33,755 representing 2.75 per cent.

 

KCPE exam centres were served from 491 distribution centres.

The marking of multiple-choice questions were made easier by the acquisition of the modern Optical Mark Recognition which electronically scores the papers.

 

The OMR captures marked data from candidates’ answer sheets using specialised scanning.

 

The machines work with a dedicated scanning device that shines a beam of light on the paper.

 

The contrasting reflection at predetermined positions on a page is used to detect marked areas as they reflect less light than the blank areas of the paper.

 

With the new machines, scripts are marked in batches of 100 and 200 sheets, unlike the previous technology, which took hours.

 

The OMR machines are also used to speed up the tallying of Kiswahili Insha and English Composition marks, which were previously done manually by examiners. The two papers are still marked manually.

 

However, tallying of marks is no longer done through physical counts.

 

After marking the Insha and Composition scripts, the examiners will pass over the papers to the new machine, which will do the electronic tallying of marks in record time.
