Rules: KNEC KCSE Regulations
Aggregate = Mathematics + the better of English and Kiswahili + the best five other subjects
Rules checked on 5 November 2026 in KNEC's KCSE Regulations, sections 17 and 18.
- For regular candidates the overall grade uses Mathematics, the better of English and Kiswahili, and the best five other subjects. The other language counts if it is among those five.
- Each grade is worth 12 points for an A down to 1 for an E, so the aggregate runs from 7 to 84.
- The regulations do not print how aggregate points become a mean grade, so this tool shows none.

How KCSE aggregate points are counted
KNEC's KCSE Regulations say the overall grade uses seven subjects. For regular candidates these are Mathematics, the better of English and Kiswahili, and the best five other subjects. If the language you did not pick is among your best five, it counts as one of them.
Aggregate = Mathematics + better language + best five other subjects
Each grade is worth points on a twelve-point scale: A is 12, A- is 11, B+ is 10, and so on down to E at 1. Seven subjects at 12 make 84, the highest aggregate. Seven at 1 make 7, the lowest.
Example: Mathematics B (9), English B+ (10), Kiswahili C (6), History A- (11), CRE B+ (10), Geography B (9), Biology B- (8) and Chemistry C+ (7). English beats Kiswahili, so English counts. The best five of the rest are History, CRE, Geography, Biology and Chemistry. The aggregate is 9 + 10 + (11 + 10 + 9 + 8 + 7) = 64 points. Kiswahili is left out.
Why there is no mean grade here
Results show a mean grade as well as aggregate points. The regulations name "the interpretation of aggregate points" but do not print the bands that turn points into a mean grade, or how they are rounded. GradeCat does not guess that step, so this calculator stops at the aggregate. It also shows the aggregate divided by seven: 64 ÷ 7 = 9.14…
