A great departure from the previous years where marking took hours, these new machines marked the candidate's scripts in bunches of 100 and 200 sheets thus taking the shortest time.

This pioneer CBC classes of Grade 3, 4, 5 and 6 started sitting for their School Based Assessment examination last week.

In these assessments, KNEC only provides online copies that schools download and print for their learners to have a feel of what the national examination will be.

Teachers also help in marking, scoring, recording and feeding the final marks online with the national exam administration within their schools without any extra pay.

Grade six will sit for their final test starting November 28.

On November 25, it will be rehearsal day, with Mathematics and English to be held on November 28.

On November 29, learners will sit for Integrated Science and Kiswahili, with the last paper being Creative arts and Social Studies.
