You must work hard to fail in your exams if your dream is to become a ranger with Kenya Wild Life Service – a state corporation. Spend more time in the school field and jumping over fences to keep fit. Exam leakages which may give your grades a boost must be avoided like the Ebola.

The best KCSE grade allowed for a ranger at KWS is a D+. A grade that makes teachers across the country routinely write: “Below average in academic ability,” in many students’ school leaving certificates. Recently, scores of youngsters who had thronged KWS recruitment centres armed with better grades were turned back.
