Weighted Cluster Points:

Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Identify Your Subjects: Determine the four subjects required for your intended course. Each course has specific subject requirements. Check KUCCPS for details.
  2. Calculate Subject Points: Assign points to each subject based on your KCSE grades:
    • A = 12 points
    • A- = 11 points
    • B+ = 10 points
    • B = 9 points
    • B- = 8 points
    • C+ = 7 points
    • C = 6 points
    • C- = 5 points
    • D+ = 4 points
    • D = 3 points
    • D- = 2 points
    • E = 1 point
  3. Sum Your Points: Add the points from your four selected subjects to get r.
  4. Calculate Weighted Points:
    • Divide r by 48 (Maximum points for 4 subjects).
    • Divide your total grade points t by 84 (Maximum KCSE points).
    • Multiply the two results and take the square root.
    • Finally, multiply by 48 to get your weighted cluster points C.
  5. Example:

    If you scored the following grades:

    • Mathematics: A (12 points)
    • Physics: B (9 points)
    • Chemistry: B+ (10 points)
    • English: A- (11 points)

    The sum of the subject points: r = 12 + 9 + 10 + 11 = 42

    Assuming the student has total grade points t = 72, the formula becomes:

    C = [√ {(42/48) × (72/84)} ] × 48

    Result: The weighted cluster point is approximately 41.5.
