As teachers of English and literature and KCSE candidates know, the overall grade in the language is influenced by the scores in English Paper Three. Unlike the English Paper one and Paper two, which have standard marking schemes set by the Kenya National Examinations Council, the candidates effort determines what they will score. Their answers are given the benefit of doubt during marking.

Though Paper Three is commonly called the imaginative and essay writing paper, it is based on set books.  The creative writing implied in it is not free range but confined to the content of the set books.
