As KCPE and KCSE exams approach, candidates experience a lot of challenges and pressure from different sources. High expectations from parents, teachers and other family members pressurize these candidates and they end up overworking themselves.
Candidates end up sleeping late and waking up very early to read, others go extra miles and deny themselves sleep and prefer to read all night in order to pass their exams.
Teachers are therefore needed to help these candidates by ensuring that the syllabus is fully and we’ll covered. This will help candidates as they will not feel that they have not properly covered reading materials hence making them ready to sit for their exams.
Teachers should also give them time to do other activities like playing which will allow them to relax their minds. When candidates spend all the time reading without a break they might end up getting confused.
Candidates should also be guided on the proper way of doing their own personal revisions. They should be told the importance of having enough sleep to help those who choose to read the whole night without sleeping.
