KCSE and the national assessments underneath it, with KUCCPS cluster points deciding university placement.
Kenya's secondary school examination is the KCSE, set by KNEC. Results give a mean grade across your subjects, but university placement runs on cluster points, which weight the four subjects most relevant to each degree programme — so the same mean grade produces very different options depending on where your strong subjects are.

The calendar you are actually planning against
- Academic year
- January to November, in three terms.
- Exam season
- KCSE examinations run from late October into November, with results announced in December or January.
- University entry
- Placement through KUCCPS uses cluster points, calculated from the four subjects most relevant to each degree programme alongside your overall performance. Cut-offs vary by programme and by year with the size of the cohort.

Eight teachers, one subscription
They are AI, and we will not pretend otherwise. What is real is the work they produce against Kenyan requirements.
Daniel · Study planner
Builds the week backwards from the real timetable. KCSE examinations run from late October into November, with results announced in December or January. Sessions go into your calendar as real events, not onto a wall chart.
Sarah · Subject tutor
Explains what you are stuck on at the level your qualification actually assesses, then checks you have understood it.
Margaret · Librarian
Finds sources, summarises them at three depths, and formats citations in MLA, APA, Chicago or Harvard.
Tommy · Quizzer
Turns what you have understood into spaced-repetition cards and brings them back until you can recall them cold.
Eleanor · Writing coach
Reviews essay structure and argument, and tells you where a marker would lose the thread.
Charles · Citation checker
Verifies every in-text citation resolves to a real entry in your bibliography.
Penny · Proofreader
Catches grammar, spelling and clarity problems without flattening your voice.
Sam · Accountability
Tells you honestly when the plan has stopped being realistic, early enough to change it.
Kenya: fair questions
How do cluster points change my revision priorities?
Substantially. Because each programme weights four specific subjects, the subjects that matter depend on where you are applying — which means the target should be set before you allocate revision time, not after results.
Do you cover Kiswahili?
Yes — the teachers can explain and discuss in Kiswahili as well as English, which matters given it is a compulsory KCSE subject.
Can it help with the practical subjects?
Yes. Science practicals are examined separately and are a reliable source of lost marks even for students strong on theory, so they get their own sessions.
