An Embu KCPE candidate failed to complete her exam after developing what appeared to be a mental problem.
Embu director of education James Kairu told the press the girl from Ugweri Primary School was moved out of the examination room to Embu Level 5 Teaching and Referral Hospital for medical treatment.
Kairu said doctors ruled out the possibility of her completing the exam owing to the sudden health problem.
She was whisked out of the exam room by teachers and invigilators after she began shouting and behaving wildly during the maths paper on Tuesday.
