Abstract
We summarized the syllabus for Physical Science of Swaziland General Certificate of Secondary Education (SGCSE) in 2015-2016. The subject of Physical Science consists of physics and chemistry contents for 11th and 12th grades. All 12th grade candidates must enter for three examinations: Paper 1 (Compulsory short-answer paper), one from either Paper 2 (for Core or Extended Curriculum) or Paper 3 (only for Extended Curriculum) and one from the practical assessment Paper 4 (Practical Test) or 5 (Alternative to Practical). The score of the papers is marked in terms of three assessment objectives: A) Knowledge with understanding, B) Handing information and solving problems and C) Experimental skills and investigations
