KNEC KCSE Grading System 2018 in Kenya
KNEC recently released the KCSE grading system they will use for the 2018 national examinations. The system is based on a numeric 12-point scale from 1-12 and an expanded letter grade ranging from A to E ( A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, D-, E ). The expanded letter grade means C+ is the 'pass' grade that allows students to join a public university. It is a grade most students can aim for when sitting for their exams. Many universities and employers consider grades C to E as insignificant nowadays. A is the best grade a student can strive to get. It takes a mixture of grades A- to B- for a student to enroll in a good university Percent Grade Points 80-100% A 12 75-79% A- 11 70-74% B+ 10 65-69% B 9 60-64% B- 8 55-59% C+ 7 50-54% C 6 45-49% C- 5 40-44 D+ 4 35-39 D 3 30-
