KCSE Cluster Points Calculator
Pick your grade in each of the seven KCSE subjects and tick the four that make up the cluster for the course you want. The calculator shows your mean grade, your total points out of 84 and your weighted cluster points out of 48, so you can compare them with last year's cut-offs.

Tips and common mistakes
Use the right four subjects
Each course lists the subjects in its cluster. Tick those four, not your four best, or the result will not match what KUCCPS uses for that course.
Compare with last year
Cut-off points change each year with how candidates perform. Use last year’s cut-off as a guide and choose courses on both sides of your result.
Questions
How are cluster points calculated?
KUCCPS uses the square root of (your cluster points divided by 48, times your total points divided by 84), multiplied by 48. The cluster points are the points in the four subjects the course asks for.
What is the maximum cluster points?
48. You get 48 only with an A in all seven subjects.
