What examination does this resource concern?

The federal secondary school-leaving examination assesses students completing Form 4 (Grade 12). The government reported the launch of the 2026 sitting on 20 June 2026.

What format and languages should candidates expect?

Written secondary subject examinations. The reviewed 2026 announcement does not establish the current item-type mix or a complete list of required components. The national curriculum framework describes Somali at primary level and Somali, Arabic or English as possible secondary media. This does not confirm the permitted assessment languages for every 2026 paper; confirm them with the school and ministry.

Does this cover the complete examination?

This is independent practice: an English-language MCQ study adaptation for selected topics, not an official translation, format simulation, or substitute for writing, speaking, practical or performance practice. It does not cover every subject or skill. The topic percentages describe this bank only, not official examination weights.

Where should I confirm entry rules, fees and marks?

The examination is for students completing secondary school. Current registration, document, private-candidate and resit requirements must be confirmed with the school and ministry. Current fees, duration, total question count and pass marks were not confirmed in the reviewed sources. Obtain the current candidate instructions from the examining authority.

1Solve the quadratic equation: 2x² - 7x + 3 = 0.

A.x = 1/2 or x = 3

B.x = -1/2 or x = -3

C.x = 2 or x = 3/2

D.x = 1 or x = 6

Explanation: Factoring 2x² - 7x + 3 = 0 gives (2x - 1)(x - 3) = 0. Setting each factor to zero: 2x - 1 = 0 => x = 1/2; x - 3 = 0 => x = 3. Using the quadratic formula x = [-(-7) ± √((-7)² - 4(2)(3))] / (2*2) = [7 ± √(49 - 24)] / 4 = [7 ± 5] / 4, yielding x = 12/4 = 3 or x = 2/4 = 1/2.

2Solve the simultaneous linear equations: 3x + 2y = 16 and 2x - y = 6.

A.x = 2, y = 5

B.x = 4, y = 2

C.x = 3, y = 3.5

D.x = 5, y = 0.5

Explanation: From the second equation, express y in terms of x: y = 2x - 6. Substitute into the first equation: 3x + 2(2x - 6) = 16 => 3x + 4x - 12 = 16 => 7x = 28 => x = 4. Substitute x = 4 back into y = 2(4) - 6 = 2. Thus, x = 4 and y = 2.

3An arc subtends 114° at the centre of a circle. What angle does it subtend at a point on the remaining circumference?

A.228°

B.66°

C.57°

D.48°

Explanation: According to the inscribed angle theorem, the angle subtended by an arc at the center of a circle is twice the angle subtended by it at any point on the remaining part of the circumference. Therefore, the angle at the circumference is 114° / 2 = 57°.

4Calculate the arithmetic mean of the following set of exam marks: 12, 15, 18, 22, 23, 30.

A.19.5

B.20

C.21

D.22.5

Explanation: The mean is calculated as the sum of all values divided by the number of values (n). Sum = 12 + 15 + 18 + 22 + 23 + 30 = 120. Number of items n = 6. Mean = 120 / 6 = 20.

5In a right-angled triangle ABC with angle B = 90°, AB = 8 cm and BC = 15 cm. What is the value of sin A?

A.8/17

B.8/15

C.15/17

D.17/15

Explanation: Using Pythagoras' theorem, the hypotenuse AC = √(AB² + BC²) = √(8² + 15²) = √(64 + 225) = √289 = 17 cm. The sine of angle A is the opposite side over hypotenuse: sin A = BC / AC = 15/17.

6Solve the logarithmic equation for x: log₂(x + 5) - log₂(x - 2) = 3.

A.x = 1

B.x = 3

C.x = 5

D.x = 7

Explanation: Using the quotient rule of logarithms, log₂((x + 5) / (x - 2)) = 3. Convert to exponential form: (x + 5) / (x - 2) = 2³ = 8. Multiply across: x + 5 = 8(x - 2) => x + 5 = 8x - 16 => 7x = 21 => x = 3. Checking in the original equation: log₂(8) - log₂(1) = 3 - 0 = 3, which is valid.

7The 3rd term of an arithmetic progression (AP) is 14 and the 9th term is 38. What is the sum of the first 15 terms (S₁₅)?

A.480

B.510

C.540

D.570

Explanation: For an AP, Tₙ = a + (n - 1)d. Here, T₃ = a + 2d = 14 and T₉ = a + 8d = 38. Subtracting the first equation from the second: 6d = 24 => d = 4. Substituting back: a + 2(4) = 14 => a = 6. The sum formula is Sₙ = (n/2)[2a + (n - 1)d]. For n = 15: S₁₅ = (15/2)[2(6) + 14(4)] = (15/2)[12 + 56] = (15/2)(68) = 15 * 34 = 510.

8Given the 2x2 matrix M = [[4, 3], [2, 2]], find its determinant det(M) and its inverse M⁻¹.

A.det(M) = 2; M⁻¹ = [[1, -1.5], [-1, 2]]

B.det(M) = 2; M⁻¹ = [[2, -3], [-2, 4]]

C.det(M) = -2; M⁻¹ = [[-1, 1.5], [1, -2]]

D.det(M) = 14; M⁻¹ = [[2, 3], [2, 4]]

Explanation: The determinant of [[a, b], [c, d]] is ad - bc. For M, det(M) = (4)(2) - (3)(2) = 8 - 6 = 2. The inverse is (1/det(M)) * [[d, -b], [-c, a]] = (1/2) * [[2, -3], [-2, 4]] = [[1, -1.5], [-1, 2]].

9Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining points A(1, 4) and B(5, 8).

A.x + y - 9 = 0

B.x - y + 3 = 0

C.x + y + 9 = 0

D.2x - y = 0

Explanation: 1. Find the midpoint M: ((1 + 5)/2, (4 + 8)/2) = (3, 6). 2. Find the gradient of AB: m₁ = (8 - 4)/(5 - 1) = 4/4 = 1. 3. The perpendicular gradient m₂ = -1/m₁ = -1. 4. Using point-slope form: y - 6 = -1(x - 3) => y - 6 = -x + 3 => x + y - 9 = 0.

10In triangle PQR, PQ = 7 cm, QR = 8 cm, and angle PQR = 60°. Calculate the length of side PR.

A.√57 cm

B.√113 cm

C.13 cm

D.√41 cm

Explanation: Apply the Law of Cosines: PR² = PQ² + QR² - 2(PQ)(QR)cos(∠PQR). PR² = 7² + 8² - 2(7)(8)cos(60°) = 49 + 64 - 112(0.5) = 113 - 56 = 57. Thus, PR = √57 cm (approximately 7.55 cm).
