TIPS TO PASSING KCSE EXAMINATIONS
Passing examination entails many steps, starting from the way you answer questions on different subjects. Sciences carry more marks in practical; languages are heavier in literature just as math paper two is easier to pass than paper one. And that is why you need examiners in your school to train you how to answer questions in different subjects.
Success also comes from you. Do not anger the examiner with poor handwriting or
cheeky-unprecedented statements, irrelevance or arrogance. You may be under pressure from your parents or guardians. However, get this burden off your shoulder and start working for your future and not theirs.
Ask yourself these questions
1. Did I cover the syllabus?
By how much 70%, 95% or 39%-Does it matter anyway if I don’t cover the syllabus? Yes! it does, it’s a matter of probability, and KCSE examination covers the entire syllabus and addresses key sectors of the curriculum. Covering the syllabus (but not in a shrewd manner) increases the probability of passing exams by a larger margin.
2. Does my Behavior affect my grades?
Find out whether your behavior slows you down. Are you always at logger heads with school administration, parents? Or maybe alcoholism- How often do you get excited when you spend time with pals of opposite sex? Can you be able to transfer the same feelings to books? Gauge your Psychological needs, what do you want? Why do you want it? Is it cost effective? Is this the right time to desire it?
Why should adolescence command my integrity? How can I overcome the challenges I face in my life?
3. Am I too good for these examinations?
This is what we call overconfidence; Examination game is not over until the last exam, last period.
Approach exams with soberness and humility; Seal all loopholes that can expose your weaknesses. Do exams with pride but don’t overestimate yourself, you may as well prepare for kickbacks if you try.
4. Am I really Capable of…………….?
Why do you doubt yourself in the first place? This means that you are unprepared or what? Nobody likes exams, you are not alone in this Island; examination is not a matter of live or die- examination is a measure of academic performance, life is not all about academics; life is more than that- if you can be able to mix your academic performance and wisdom on a 50:50 basis, then life becomes easier- pressure
only comes when you think academic is a matter of grave danger. Now can you get this burden out of your shoulders and start living?
5. Did I prepare well for the exam?
Did you? Did you try to revise? Finish your home works? Covered the syllabus? Did you forgive your enemies before you sat for these exams? Did you cut ties with the past before exam day? Have you ever appreciated yourself? Looked into the mirror and admired how composed you are; how unique and how wonderful? People see you the way you see yourself in that mirror. Degrading yourself has hazardous consequences in your overall composure. Appreciate yourself and start to build a destiny for yourself/ a territorial fence of success. Don’t expect to eat if you never cooked, harvest if you never tilled, dance if there is no music, don’t expect to pass if what you all along did was to sit and wait for exams- not, unless
it’s a miracle.
6. Do I hate this subject?
Most students hate science subjects, if you are one of those silly phobia brains; try to mend your relationship with these subjects. They are truly a gateway to success as you will find out in future.
7. Did I understand this question/instruction?
Make sure you understand every question you want to answer. Assuming that you understood is as expensive as ‘Kenya’s taxation on basic commodities’ as you will end up losing a lot of marks as Kenyans lose this taxation via corruption of the highest caliber.
