KNEC orders circle shading in KPSEA, KJSEA exams

Kenya's education testing agency changed how students will answer exam questions. The Kenya National Examinations Council told schools that children must shade circles instead of drawing lines on answer sheets. This new method affects both primary and junior school tests across the country. Officials shared sample test papers with schools back in January. Teachers can help students practice the different answer formats before test day.

Schools can download practice materials from the government testing website. The online portal contains sample questions and answer sheets for both grade levels. Teachers need their special login information to access these materials. Each school received unique passwords to protect student information. The website shows exactly how students should mark their answers.

Students taking the Kenya Primary School Education Assessment will use the circle shading method. The Kenya Junior School Education Assessment will also require the same answer technique. Both tests moved away from the old line-drawing system. Education officials want all students to understand the changes before testing begins. Practice sessions will help children feel comfortable with the new format.

The testing council posted detailed instructions for accessing practice materials. School administrators can log into the assessment portal using their assigned passwords. Different grade levels have separate sections for downloading materials. Teachers must protect their login information from unauthorized users. Officials stress the importance of keeping passwords secure.
