He also added on the formal way to access the results, where, for the SMS option, the candidates will have to send their index number, followed by the initials KCPE (in capital letters) to 20076 in order to access the results.
However, the highest mark dropped from 433 to 428 marks.
The examination kicked off on March, 7, 2022 at 8:30 am across 28,316 exam centres and 1.2 million candidates sat for the exam.
