How to analyze past KCSE exam papers and predict topics likely to be tested
When sitting for the KCSE exams, a student usually has to prepare by reading through coursework content from Form 1 to Form 4. Considering that Kenya’s education curriculum for high schools has 15 subjects covering approximately 400 topics that’s really a lot of coursework to cover within a limited timeframe.
We have analyzed 5,000+ past KCSE papers and Mock exams to show students what the most relevant and highly merited topics in each class are. This way students spend more time reading and mastering the topics that will get them the most marks and spend way less time on the less important ones - those that are hardly tested or those that account for the least amount of marks.
To get started, go the 'Home' view menu, select 'Tools' and then open the 'KCSE Analysis' page. As shown in the image below, choose the KCSE paper you wish to analyze.
There are three sections that we focus on:
Distribution of marks per class - here you get to see the contribution each class has made to the sum of all marks in the paper for the duration chosen.
Most valued topics - shows which topics contributed the most marks and questions in the duration chosen. From this section, it's clear which topics you want your students to master and be proficient in the most.
Marks allocated per topic per year - here you can see the topics that never fail to be tested and the average marks you can expect to score for each over the years.
