The results of 81,718 candidates were Outstanding/Pending (i.e they couldn’t be processed due to some errors on the part of the candidates).

Results are partially released due to queries arising from one or a combination of the following mistakes:

• Wrong transfer of examination numbers in one or more papers;
• Failure to shade examination numbers;
• Shading objective sheets with biro pens instead of a pencil;
• Mistakes in entries leading to duplication of subjects.

Such errors are being corrected to enable all the affected candidates get their full results.

Please note that ALL Outstanding results will be released
