  It was a KCSE Geography Paper 1 prediction examination designed to prepare candidates for the national assessment.

  The assessment comprehensively examines physical geomorphology, climatology, cartographic mapwork, hydrology, coastal mechanics, and pedology through map analysis, diagrams, and structured problem sets.

  • Duration: 2¾ Hours
  • Total Marks: 100
  • Structure: Two sections; Section A (25 marks, compulsory short-answer questions 1 - 5) and Section B (75 marks, compulsory mapwork question 6, plus any other two questions chosen from questions 7 - 10)
