A total of 1,003,556 candidates are set to sit for their KCPE while 615,773 will sit for KCSE in this year’s national exams.
The rehearsals for the exams are expected to be conducted on Monday while the rehearsals for the KCSE candidates are scheduled for November 3.
All form four candidates who registered for home science practicals will be the first to write their examination on.
This is after the paper was postponed following disruptions of the examination’s schedule because of the repeat presidential elections held on Thursday.
According to the timetable by the Kenya National Examination Council (KNEC), KCSE examinations will take one month while KCPE examinations will last three days starting Tuesday.
KCPE candidates will then proceed to sit for their Mathematics, English language and composition which will be done on Tuesday. Kiswahili lugha and insha will be done on the second day.
The three-day examination is scheduled to end on November 2.
