Avoiding KCSE Cramming Panic

16 Jan 2026

The final month before KCSE can feel like a sprint, but treating it as a frantic rush often damages performance more than it helps.

Instead of trying to 'cover everything', shift your focus to:

- Cleaning up weak topics that keep appearing in past papers. - Practising full sections under timed conditions. - Reviewing marked scripts and writing short reflections on common mistakes.

By narrowing your attention in this way, you protect your sleep, your confidence, and your ability to think clearly in the exam room.
