3.0 INSTRUCTIONS AND GUIDELINES TO SUPERVISORS, INVIGILATORS, TRAINERS AND CANDIDATES

3.1  Trainers are advised to ensure that the candidates read these instructions and guidelines carefully and adhere to them. The candidates should be made aware of the penalties for examination irregularities or misconduct.

3.2  GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS TO CANDIDATES

3.2.1 Be at your seat in the Examination Room ten minutes before the time fixed for the examination in the various papers. All sessions should start at 8.30 a.m except for KSL practicals which are scheduled to begin at 9.00 a.m.

3.2.2 A candidate who arrives late will be required to give a satisfactory reason to the Supervisor. Only in exceptional circumstances will a paper be given to any candidate who is more than half an hour late. Absolute punctuality is essential for all papers.

3.2.3  Check the question paper you have been given to confirm that it is the paper you registered for.

3.2.4 If an examination paper for which you are not registered is handed to you, or if the questions indicate that a map or other material should also have been provided, inform the Supervisor at once.

3.2.5  Attend carefully to any general instructions that may be given on the first page of a paper, e.g. instructions limiting the number of questions that should be answered.

3.2.6  Check to ensure that each page of your question paper is printed.

3.2.7  Write your name and your index number on the answer booklet.

3.2.8  Write on both sides of the paper, but do not use the margins.  Begin the answer to each separate part of a question on a fresh line.

3.2.9 Write the number of the question clearly in the left-hand margin at the beginning of each answer. Do not copy the question. Be careful to use the same system of numbering as appears in the question paper. Leave a blank line after the answer to each question.

3.2.10 Write your answer in black or blue ink. You may use fountain pen or ball point pen. Pencils should only be used for diagrams. Bring mathematical and drawing instruments for subjects for which they will be needed.

3.2.11 Read each question carefully. A lot of time may be wasted in writing down information that is not asked for and no marks are given for it.

3.2.12 Do not spend too much time on one or two questions, leave yourself adequate time to answer other questions.

3.2.13 As soon as notice is given to stop, make sure your index number is written on the booklet and then hand it over to the supervisor/invigilator.

3.2.14  Withdrawal from the examination should have been notified to the KNEC in writing before the examination begins.

3.3 CAUTION TO THE CANDIDATES

3.3.1 You are not allowed to leave the examination room before the end of the period allocated to the paper except with special permission from the Supervisor.

NO CANDIDATE SO PERMITTED TO LEAVE MAY TAKE A QUESTION PAPER OR ANSWER BOOKLET OUT OF THE EXAMINATION ROOM.

3.3.2 Do not leave a sheet of paper you have written on or your answers in such a position that another candidate can read them. You should not give or obtain unfair assistance, or attempt to do so, whether by copying or in any other way, and your work should not show proof of such unfair assistance.

3.3.3 No communication whatsoever in whatever manner between candidates or with outsiders is allowed during the examination.

3.3.4  You are not allowed to have in your possession or in your proximity while in the examination room, any book, notes, papers or any other materials whatsoever except the correct question papers and any materials expressly authorized by the Kenya National Examinations Council.

3.3.5 You may only use mathematical tables printed by the Kenya National Examinations Council, and these should not contain any additional notes except the printed information. If you are using a calculator as permitted by the Regulations, it should be the specified non programmable calculator. If in doubt, check with the Supervisor.

3.3.6 You must return immediately to the Supervisor any question paper that has smudges or has errors or is badly printed.

3.3.7 You must not take any used or unused writing paper out of the examination room. Any rough work must be done on the official answer booklet and, if not to be submitted with the answers, must be left on the desk to be collected by the Supervisor and destroyed.

3.3.8 Any misconduct or causing of disturbance in or near the examination room will be treated as an examination irregularity.

3.3.9  Cell phones or any other electronic communication device are prohibited in examination centres. Any candidate caught in possession of a cell phone/any other electronic device will have his/her results cancelled.

3.4 PENALTY FOR EXAMINATION IRREGULARITIES
