KCSE 2023 English paper 2 results and performance analysis

KCSE 2023 101/2
HIGHLIGHTS

🔷The paper was averagely performed. Below 10 marks were very few this year.

☑️Question 1: Compression.

❇️Most students scored above eight out of 20 marks. Question 1 a) and 1 b) were mere recall questions, and most students scooped the 4 marks.
❇️Question 1 c) was a summary: most students were able to write the summary and scooped between 4 and 6 marks.
❇️Most students, therefore, collected 10 marks on page 1.
❇️The challenge came on page 2: almost all candidates were unable to respond to higher order demands of Question 1 e). ❇️Then again, almost all candidates failed to give meanings of words and phrases as demanded by Questions f i) and f iii); same to h i) and f ii).
❇️Another challenge in this question was the grammar question of 1 g), most students could not rewrite the question as instructed.

▶️Question 2: The excerpt.

💠This question was fairly performed. Only a small portion of candidates could say what happened before the excerpt. A joke went round that those who scored it were aided. The same applied to what happened after.

💠Candidates were, however, able to respond aptly to questions on character traits, themes, and style.

💠Again, the question on attitude and grammar aspects proved a challenge to candidates. Most candidates scored above 9 out of 25. Top students scored between 20 and 23.

❇️Question 3: oral narrative.

It was not uncommon to see 20/20 in this section. Questions were straight, and it was heartwarming to see that most students responded correctly to the question on irony. Teachers prepared candidates well in oral narratives: questions on classification, character traits, and oral features were well attempted by most students.

However, the demands for moral lesson caught most candidates off-guard. They were to use ‘one, we or people…’ to show universality. They were also to use expressions: ‘ should…, need… or ought to…’

Questin 4: Grammar

Students had problems responding appropriately to grammar questions, especially the ones that required rewriting. Punctuation was a big challenge to candidates: candidates missed capitalizations, commas, exclamation marks, question marks even fulstops. Most students were able to score 6 marks and above out of 15.

Verdict: Grammar, especially, rewrite questions need to be taught thoroughly.

  1. An interesting discussion is worth comment. I think that you should write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but generally people are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers

  2. Hey! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any recommendations?

  3. Hey there! This is my first comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and tell you I truly enjoy reading your posts. Can you suggest any other blogs/websites/forums that cover the same subjects? Thanks for your time!
