Marking has been expedited owing to the optical mark recognition (OMR) machine, which electronically scores the papers.

The optical mark recognition (OMR) machines capture marked data from candidates’ answer sheets using specialised scanning.

How OMR Works

The machines work with a dedicated scanning device that shines a beam of light on the paper. The contrasting reflection at predetermined positions on a page is used to detect marked areas as they reflect less light than blank areas of the paper.K

According to data from the examination council a total of 1,225,507 candidates were registered in 28,316 KCPE examination centres as compared to 1,191,752 candidates in 28,467 centres in 2020.

This reflects an increase of 33,755 representing 2.75 per cent.

On the other hand, KCSE exams will be concluded by friday this week and marking will commence immediately  across the country.
