About the SSLC Physics Exam
SSLC Physics is the Year 12 national physics paper for the Samoa Secondary Leaving Certificate. The official 2025 booklet is a 3-hour-and-10-minute English written paper scored out of 100 marks, with required formulae supplied. This bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation of the four official strands and includes genuine calculations. It is not a simulation of written working or practical assessment.
Assessment
Single English-language question-and-answer booklet. Time allowed: 3 hours and 10 minutes, including 10 minutes reading time. All required formulae are provided on the last page. Official 2025 strands: Energy 25, Electricity 25, Magnetism 25, Forces and Motion 25.
Time Limit
3 hours plus 10 minutes reading time
Passing Score
Not published as a fixed percentage on official SSLC papers. Subject papers are marked out of 100. NUS foundation physics courses have used ≥50% in SSLC Physics as a tertiary-entry threshold.
Exam Fee
MEC publishes national SSLC examination fees (2025 and 2026 official notices). The SAT amount is not stated on the public examination-paper pages. (Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC), Government of Samoa)
