In other words, it is a way of giving equal value to the results of each test, regardless of the number of questions and the time allocated for completing them. For instance, an A in Mathematics is much lower than an A in History and Government.
Why Knec standardizes KCSE candidates’ Raw cores to Standard Scores
Standardization of raw scores to standard scores in a Knec examination is a process that involves adjusting the raw scores for each paper in the examination to allow for the differences in difficulty and in the extent to which scores scatter/ spread between the best and worst performing candidate (standard deviation).
In the process of standardization, the difficulty among the papers is measured in terms of mean raw scores obtained by the candidates, while the differences in scatter are measured in terms of the standard deviation.
A raw score is a mark that is obtained by a candidate before standardization. It is the original mark obtained by the candidate in a test i.e., the number of correctly answered questions.
For instance, if a candidate gets 90 marks out of 100 in a paper, then the raw mark for the candidate is 90. The mean raw score of a test is calculated by dividing the candidates’ total marks by the number of candidates taking the test.
The standard deviation of a score is measured by the number of units that score is from the mean score.
This process is done by using a computerized system.
In order to create a standardized score, a reference table called a ‘look-up table’ is created for each test paper that is written and the table is specific to that test paper because it takes account of the difficulty of the paper.
The minimum standardized score is derived from the look-up table and the actual number will vary, depending on the average score of all those taking the test.
The standard scores are a measure of relative performance and have the ability to tell us how a candidate has performed in comparison to the other candidates. These scores are essential when results from different papers must be combined to give an overall total as is the case in the KCSE examination and are useful for comparing relative performance of candidates from subject to subject or from year to year.
Once the raw scores have been standardized, the cut-off scores for Grade A to E are identical for all subjects and therefore maintained at the same level from year to year.
The standardized scores are then used for reporting candidates’ performance.
Does standardization affect the candidate’s position?
When the scores are standardized the relative positions of the candidates remain unchanged; the top candidate in each subject still remains at the top.
The standard scores are essential if scores from several examination papers are to be added to give a total score. It is therefore desired that each paper should contribute equally to the total score.
Standardized test scores are scores that are obtained from a test that is administered and scored in a consistent, or “standard” manner.
Standardized tests are designed in such a way that the questions, conditions for administering, scoring procedures, and interpretations are consistent and are administered and scored in a predetermined, standard manner.
Star of the Sea High, Serani, Sharrif Nasir, Tononoka and Moi Forces Academy are among the best County schools in Monbasa County.
There are about thirty five County schools in Taita Taveta County. These schools are either Mixed or Single.County schools are the third best schools after National and Extra County schools.
The County schools admit students majorly within the County. Admission of form ones is via the Education Ministry’s Portal. Calling letters to these schools are downloaded from the Ministry’s website; http://www.education.go.ke/

Ahead of the 2021 KCSE, the Government heightened measures meant to pre-empt any forms of cheating through the combined efforts of all the members of the Multi-Agency Team.
The result of this enhanced” “vigilance was that nearly all the cases of cheating that would have occurred were prevented. The country would bear me witness that many mobile phones that would have been used to relay pre- exposed examination materials were confiscated before they could be used.
However, there were 441 cases reported in the 2021 KCS Examination and one case of a centre with all the results withheld.
I wish to categorically state that KNEC will not have any mercy on examination offenders who must be dealt with decisively.
Consequently, examination results of all the 441 cases have been cancelled as follows:”
The Kenya National Examinations Council, (KNEC), has stationed two helicopters in Masalani town to ferry the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education, (KCSE), examination materials to unreachable places in Ijara sub county, Garisa county as the ongoing rainfall make some dry weather roads impassable.
The plane is serving parts of Ijara sub county and the entire of Hulugho sub county where roads have become impassable.
Ijara sub county Director of education Ibrahim Odowa revealed that the exams are going on smoothly in the area despite the deluge that has poured in the area.
Flash floods have even washed away bridges interlinking towns with some roads being washed away making them impassable.
Mr. Odowa said despite the region neighbouring Somalia, the government has been able to offer invigilators enough security in case of any insecurity as witnessed in the past where the Al Shabaab could attack examination centres.
Both Ijara Deputy county commissioner Wachira Chempton and his Hulugho counterpart David Luka have confirmed the government will continue giving security in the eight examination centres.
𝐊𝐏𝐒𝐄𝐀 Grade 6 Exams: Homa Bay County Commissioner Moses Lilan has called on all centre managers to maintain the integrity of the ongoing Kenya Primary School Education Assessment (KPSEA) as exams kicked off.
He emphasized that any violations of examination regulations will lead to serious consequences.
“I urge everyone involved in the administration of KPSEA exams to uphold the integrity of the examination, and anyone who will be intent on bringing in any disrepute in the course of the ongoing examination will face the consequences,” he said.
“So far, we have not received any information on the possibility of a candidate missing the examination except for a few cases who are deceased,” he noted.
Lilan assured that all centres are secured and urged managers, invigilators, and candidates to remain vigilant during this critical period.
He stressed the importance of conducting the exams according to the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC) regulations.
“We expect that this examination will be conducted according to the regulations laid down by the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC), and we will be very vigilant to ensure it is taken with the integrity that it deserves,” he said.

She observed that following the notification to her office, the examination team had made arrangements to facilitate the ailing boy with his examination papers beginning from yesterday. “Today are still availing the papers to him because he is yet to recover” she noted.
She however impressed on the supervisors to keep safe and handle the candidates carefully so as to encourage them to do their best despite the difficult times they had gone through during the long holiday occasioned by Covid-19.
Kiambu Deputy county commissioner Mr. Titus Macharia in his address to the team called on them to be vigilant, observant and supportive to the candidates so as to give them moral support in what they were doing.
He added that it was a government directive to ensure that the National examinations were handled competently in a conducive environment that did not cause the pupils any tension.
Elsewhere, from the Juja sub-county, the Sub-county director of Education Mr. Peter Kariuki while addressing the Center managers, reminded them that they to be accompanied by respective security officers.
He however clarified that the security personnel were not the ones entrusted to carry the examination papers. He added that those ferrying the papers were not allowed to use their personal vehicles but that they could share transport with their colleagues going the same directions via the authorized school buses or vans.
He added that the exams must be collected on completion by the center managers who should have their badges on.
