- How KCSE points are counted: the seven subjects step by step, when both English and Kiswahili count, what your result slip shows, and how KCSE points differ from cluster points.
How KCSE results are counted
KNEC's regulations grade the overall result on seven subjects. They are Mathematics, the better of English and Kiswahili, and the best five other subjects. Each grade is worth points from 12 for an A down to 1 for an E. Added up, the seven give the aggregate, from 7 to 84.
Deaf candidates may sit Kenyan Sign Language. For them the better of English and KSL counts. All the subjects you sat still appear on your result slip and certificate.
Reading your KCSE result slip
- Each subject shows a grade from A to E.
- The slip also shows a mean grade and aggregate points for the whole exam.
- KNEC may correct the results lists before certificates are issued.
- Your certificate lists every subject you took, with its grade.
To check the aggregate on your slip, enter your grades in the calculator. If your total differs, look at which subjects it counted: only seven of them add up.
