The 2021 candidates, like their 2020 colleagues, wrote the test during the Covid-19 pandemic which disrupted learning for several months in 2020 leading to the postponement of the national exams. The normal school calendar is expected to resume in 2023 after another exam scheduled for later this year.
The 2021 candidates can access their results by sending an SMS with their index number followed by KCPE, in capital letters, to 20076.
