Anne Nakhumicha was preparing to sit for a morning paper when she collapsed.
She was quickly rushed to Mt Elgon Hospital in Kitale but passed away while receiving treatment.
According to the county's education officer Mr William Kamuguna, Nakhumicha had previously complained that she was unwell.
"The 18-year-old girl had done her Monday exams well despite complaining of feeling unwell.
“She has been ill for some time and it is suspected that she died of a heart attack, " noted Kamuguna.
The county's education boss condoled with the rest of the candidates asking them to remain strong and focus on the remaining papers.
On Monday, Teachers Service Commission (TSC) boss Nancy Macharia came face to face with teacher drunkenness as she inspected Form 4 national exams.
Ms Macharia, who inspected the opening of an exam container at Gilgil deputy county commissioner’s office, was upset when a headteacher turned up to collect papers while totally drunk.
The principal of Mawaka Secondary School, in drunken stupor, was unapologetic and even engaged the TSC CEO in a verbal exchange.
