About the SINF6 Agriculture Exam
The Solomon Islands National Form Six Examination (SINF6) Agriculture paper is the national Year 12 agriculture assessment, administered by MEHRD's National Education Assessment Division and timetabled as part of the Solomon Islands School Certificate Level Two (SISCL2). Candidates sit a single three-hour question-and-answer booklet covering soil science and plant nutrition, crop production and protection, livestock and animal husbandry, farm management and agribusiness, and sustainable agriculture. In 2026 the Agriculture paper is scheduled for Tuesday 3 November. The 100 questions on this page are an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation of that syllabus, built around the crops and pests that matter in Solomon Islands such as copra, cocoa, oil palm, taro leaf blight and the coconut rhinoceros beetle. Because agriculture is a practical subject, treat this bank as preparation for the written paper's knowledge, diagnosis and calculation demands rather than as a substitute for field and livestock experience.
Assessment
Single 3-hour question-and-answer booklet with 10 minutes of reading time. All sections are compulsory and include objective items, diagnostic short answers, farm-management calculations and extended written responses.
Time Limit
3 hours plus 10 minutes reading time (session 9.00 am – 12.10 pm)
Passing Score

MEHRD does not publish a fixed item count. The paper is a single question-and-answer booklet with compulsory sections combining objective items, diagnostic short answers, calculations and extended response.
Can multiple-choice questions really prepare me for a practical subject?
Partly. These 100 items are an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation that builds the science, diagnosis and management reasoning the written paper tests. They cannot replace hands-on field and livestock practice, which you develop through school-based agricultural work.

No. MEHRD's administrative instruction to schools prohibits charging national examination fees for Year 9, Year 11 and Year 12 candidates.
What mark do I need to pass?
MEHRD does not publish a fixed percentage pass mark per subject. Subject scores contribute to a Year 12 aggregate; for the 2023 sitting MEHRD reported a minimum aggregate of 265 on a 265–500 range, and the overall 2025 Year 12 pass rate was 53.8%.
Which crops and pests should I know best?
The nationally important ones: coconut and copra, cocoa, oil palm, taro, sweet potato, cassava and yam, together with taro leaf blight, the coconut rhinoceros beetle, the sweet potato weevil, vascular streak dieback in cocoa and Ganoderma basal stem rot in oil palm.
In what language is the examination set?
English. English is the language of instruction and assessment in Solomon Islands secondary schools, so this bank is in the same language as the official paper.
