In the 90s we used have a normal exam results curve even in individual schools- a few 'A' students then majority 'B' and 'C' students then a long tail of D and E The Dilemma of our education and language dynamics http://www.nation.co.ke/...2/-/kbs1s0z/-/index.html

If there only 120 regular places for medicine at UoN and 80 at MOI, it's going to be tough! Parents, prepare to take your children abroad, for Para or to private UNIs. Set out to correct the world's wrongs and you will most certainly wind up adding to them.

My high school math teacher could set paper 2 exam after we have done paper one., that's what he told us. As for the practicals, schools get instructions and list of required apparatus months before the exam. From there hence forth, it's drilling and no learning. We are after A's. Quite a number of these guys drop out of the nice science based programmes or end up balancing books if at all they make it through. Damn right

Infact As are more e than double A minuses! Iko kitu with these exams

I did'nt get a C+ Am not sure but I suspect with a C+ you might gain admission at MKU for a medical degree If Obiero did it, Who Am I?
