Common questions
Where can I find Physical Education past papers from AQA?
This page links every Physical Education paper AQA publishes for everyone to download, newest first, starting with June 2025. Each link opens the PDF on AQA's own website. The most recent series is usually released a year or so after the exam, and it will appear here once AQA makes it public.
Are there mark schemes for these Physical Education papers?
Yes, every question paper here has a mark scheme, and 12 have an examiner report as well, which is worth reading for the mistakes that cost the most marks.
What were the Physical Education grade boundaries in June 2026?
In June 2026, a grade 7 needed 188 out of 260 and a grade 4 needed 136. The grade boundaries for every series from June 2018 to June 2026 are on this course's grade boundaries page, and each series of papers here links to its own year's table, so you can mark a paper and read your grade.
Where is the Physical Education specification?
It is linked at the top of this page: AQA's own Physical Education specification (8582), a PDF on its website, which sets out what you can be examined on and how the exams are marked. According to AQA's grade boundaries for June 2026, the course is examined in 3 papers, worth 256 marks in all.
How can I practise more Physical Education questions?
cookie's practice decks can make fresh exam-style questions from a specification or your own notes, with feedback and spaced repetition, so you can keep practising once the papers run out.
Can I get help with Physical Education?
Cookie Tutoring may have tutors for Physical Education. The Find a tutor link keeps the subject and qualification filters from this page, so you can check the marketplace without assuming that a suitable tutor is available.
