Hundreds of thousands of candidates across the country stepped into their examination halls this morning to take on one of the most demanding days of the 2026 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations.
The day's proceedings began promptly at 8:00 AM, with students sitting for Mathematics Alternative A and Alternative B.
The morning session required intense focus as candidates tackled complex algebraic formulas and geometric problems over two and a half hours, concluding at 10:30 AM.
Candidates taking the Braille version received an extended three-hour window, finishing their paper at 11:00 AM.
Following the morning assessments, schools observed a mandatory three-hour intermission from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
The break allowed invigilators to secure the completed answer scripts and provided candidates with time to rest and transition from numerical problem-solving to language analysis.
The examinations resumed at 2:00 PM for the afternoon paper, Kiswahili Paper 3 (Fasihi). During this two-and-a-half-hour session, candidates focused on literary set books, character analysis, and context questions.
Standard and large-print papers concluded at 4:30 PM, while Braille candidates wrapped up their exams at 5:00 PM, successfully completing another major milestone in the national examination calendar.
