About the SINF6 History Exam
The Solomon Islands National Form Six Examination (SINF6) History paper is the national Year 12 history 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 Solomon Islands history from the labour trade and the 1893 Protectorate through Maasina Ruru, independence in 1978, the Ethnic Tension and RAMSI; Pacific decolonisation; twentieth-century world history; and historical source skills. In 2026 the History paper is scheduled for Monday 2 November. History was among the weaker performing Year 12 subjects in MEHRD's 2024 reporting, so structured revision matters. The 100 questions on this page are an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation of that syllabus; because the official paper requires source analysis and extended essays, treat this bank as recall and concept practice rather than full exam preparation.

Time Limit

Passing Score

Exam Fee
