2023 KCSE COUNTY MOCKS Mock exams and pre-mock exams are practice tests that are taken before the actual exams.

 

They are designed to help students get a sense of what to expect in the real exam and to identify areas where they need to improve.

The purpose of taking mock exams is to help students build confidence, develop test-taking strategies, and identify their strengths and weaknesses.

Pre-mock exams are usually taken a few weeks or months before the actual exam, while mock exams are usually taken closer to the exam date.
