30 free PE practice questions
Connects movement science, sports skills, health, fitness, training, and sport in society.
Start with the diagnostic, then open the practice bank
Start one complete 30-question free runner. Questions 1-6 also power the optional diagnostic report, while questions 7-30 remain local practice. Every answer includes an explanation.
Physical Education
Know what the real Physical Education assessment includes
AceDSE's free questions are a short multiple-choice diagnostic. They check selected concepts; they are not a past paper, predicted paper, or complete simulation of every assessed skill.

Build a PE plan for this week
Choose your weakest topic and available time. AceDSE will turn the syllabus map into a simple 7-day route you can start immediately.
The plan combines concept review, free diagnostic questions and mistake logging. Consider a reviewed guided route only when it is available and the same weakness repeats.
