Important KNEC Guidelines for Grade 6 Candidates
To ensure a smooth exam period, KNEC emphasizes strict adherence to timing. No extra time will be allowed beyond what is printed on the question papers. Furthermore, supervisors must verify that candidates use personalized optical mark recognition (OMR) sheets containing their correct Assessment Numbers.
The final KPSEA score will compile these summative results alongside the School-Based Assessments (SBA) completed in Grades 4, 5, and 6.
