About the SINF6 Geography Exam
The Solomon Islands National Form Six Examination (SINF6) Geography paper is the national Year 12 geography 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 physical geography and hazards, human geography and development, Pacific environments and climate, and geographic skills including map work. In 2026 the Geography paper is scheduled for Thursday 29 October. The 100 questions on this page are an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation built around the same syllabus content, including Solomon Islands case material such as Kavachi, the April 2014 Honiara flash floods and the relocation of Walande village; they are a revision aid rather than a simulation of the official paper, which also requires map interpretation, sketches and extended writing.

Single 3-hour question-and-answer booklet with 10 minutes of reading time. All sections are compulsory and include map interpretation, sketch and diagram work, data response, and extended written answers.
Time Limit
3 hours plus 10 minutes reading time (session 9.00 am – 12.10 pm)

MEHRD does not publish a fixed item count. The paper is a single question-and-answer booklet with compulsory sections that combine objective items, map and diagram work, data response and extended writing.
Is this practice bank the same format as the real exam?

Do I need a ruler and calculator for map work?
Yes. Map-skills questions on scale, ground distance, gradient and vertical exaggeration require accurate measurement and arithmetic, so bring a ruler and a silent non-programmable calculator.

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%.
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.
