How to get KPSEA results online for Grade 6 students
KPSEA’s sole purpose is to scrutinise the learning progress of all students and give feedback on areas that need improvement under the CBC. If you want to get your Grade 6 KPSEA results in 2025 online, here is how to go about it:
1. Check KPSEA results on the CBA portal

You can use the CBA portal as the official site to check KPSEA results for Grade 6. Here are the steps to follow:
- Visit the CBA portal.
- Sign in to the portal using valid CBA login credentials. The credentials are a username and a password provided to you during registration.
- If you have the correct details, click the login button to access the CBA portal home page.
- Go to the option labelled Grade 6.
- Click on “Assessment Reports”.
- Go to “NOMINAL ROLL”.
- Copy the assessment number of the student’s report.
- Return to the option labelled KPSEA slip.
- Paste the student assessment number.
- Click view.
Once you have the student’s details, you can download or print them. If you have difficulty logging into the CBA portal, check whether you received the registered school code. Also, if you forgot your password, do the following:
- Click on “Need Help or Forgotten Password”.
- A pop-up message will appear.
The pop-up message will request that you contact your area SCDE (Sub-County Director of Education) to register your school to receive the KNEC Code. You will use the code as the username. The area SCDE will also give you a password to log in to the portal.

Besides the CBA portal, you can also check KNEC KPSEA results online on the KNEC portal. KNEC offers an easy way of accessing the KPSEA portal to get KPSEA results or any other details, including student registration. Follow the following steps:
- Go to the KNEC portal.
- Click on the CBA Portal.
The link will redirect to the CBA portal, where you can log in as outlined in the previous step. However, you can also proceed as follows:
- Once you are at the CBA portal, click on “Online Result Slip”.
- Log in to the KNEC portal using a username and password. The username is the school’s KNEC code, and the password is what was assigned to you during the registration of KPSEA students.
- Click on “Log In”.
- Go to the box labelled “FROM ASSESSMENT NUMBER”.
- Enter the KNEC Assessment Number of the first candidate.
- Go to the box labelled “TO ASSESSMENT NUMBER.”
- Input the last candidate’s assessment number.
- Click on “View Report”.
- Give the portal enough time to generate the report.
- Once the portal generates the report, click on “Export”.
- Select your preferred document format to export the report.
The portal will download the report you requested. You can print it offline or share it online. When you get to the results page, you may notice that a student may have certain features labelled against them. Here is what they are and what they mean:
- P – The letter means the examination result is pending. The cause could be incorrect details or an issue with the examination entry requirements.
- U – The letter means the student’s examination result is ungraded.
- W – The letter means the examiner has withheld the student’s examination results because of malpractice.
- X – The letter means the student was absent because they did not sit for one or all the KPSEA papers.
- Y – The letter means the candidate was involved in an examination irregularity.
- The SCDE will have all the information about students who fall under the above category.
3. How to get KPSEA results online for Grade 6 students via SMS
A third option on how to check KPSEA results in 2025 is via SMS. During KPSEA registration, KNEC released the number 20076 to allow parents, students, teachers, and other individuals to check the registration status of a candidate.
You can also send an SMS to 20076 to check KPSEA results. However, the number may change, and waiting until KNEC releases the exam results is best. That is also when KNEC offers more details on getting a candidate’s KPSEA results.
4. Check KPSEA results at school
Although KNEC releases exams online, they are usually accessible to head teachers and designated teachers. As a result, it limits candidates, parents, and other stakeholders in the education sector from accessing the results.
You can visit a candidate’s local school and check the results if you do not have online access. Generally, the headmaster or designated teacher will access the KNEC portal, download the results for all candidates, and print them for all to see.

What happens after KPSEA exams?
After Grade 6 students complete their KPSEA exams and receive their results, the next stage is to proceed to Junior Secondary School. However, the Junior Secondary School is domiciled in the primary school where they did their exams.
Students also have the option to transfer to a different school and join Grade 7 under Junior Secondary School. But unlike other national examinations, such as KCPE, KPSEA will not be used to determine the placement of students to Junior Secondary School.
