Students must complete one written examination for GCSE Physical Education. The exam lasts 1 hour 30 minutes and is worth 40 percent of the final award.
We set and mark the exam. It is available in summer only.
The exam tests students’ knowledge and understanding of factors that affect the development of health, peak physical fitness and skilled performance.
The paper contains short answer and multi-part questions. All questions are compulsory. Students must recall, explain and apply concepts, facts, terminology, methods and principles. They must also analyse, interpret and evaluate information and material.
