AQA 7582 — A Level PE Specification
Three components. One AQA A Level Physical Education result that opens university doors.
AQA A Level Physical Education (7582) is assessed across two written papers and one non-exam assessment. Paper 1 covers physiology, anatomy, and biomechanics. Paper 2 covers psychology, sociology, and sport and society. The NEA requires performance analysis of a chosen physical activity.
Paper 1 (35%) — Factors Affecting Participation and Performance — applied physiology, biomechanics, skill acquisition
Paper 2 (35%) — Factors Affecting Optimal Performance — sport psychology, sociocultural influences, sport and society
NEA (30%) — Performance or Coaching Analysis — written analysis plus assessed performance in one activity
Assessment Objectives — AO1 (knowledge), AO2 (application), AO3 (analysis and evaluation) tested across all components
Graded A* to E — A* requires 90% UMS; specific paper grade thresholds set by AQA each series

AQA A Level Grading System Explained
AQA A Level Physical Education uses a letter grade scale from A* to E. The A* grade is awarded to candidates who demonstrate exceptional performance across both written papers and the NEA component.
Top Performers — Grade A* Award
The A* grade requires a combined UMS score of 90% or above across Paper 1, Paper 2, and the NEA, with at least 90% on the written papers.

What makes AQA A Level PE genuinely hard to self-study
AQA A Level Physical Education tests three distinct academic disciplines in a single qualification. Students must master applied physiology, sport psychology, and sociocultural analysis, then demonstrate performance competence in a chosen activity. This page explains where students struggle most and what 1:1 support changes.
Paper 1 draws on anatomy, exercise physiology, biomechanics, and skill acquisition. Students are regularly caught out by command words: evaluate and justify appear frequently and require structured argument, not description.
Paper 2 covers sport psychology, sociocultural influences, and the commercialisation of sport. Many students underestimate how much AO3 analysis is expected, particularly in the 9-mark extended writing questions.
The NEA is worth 30% of the total marks. Students submit a written performance analysis of a chosen physical activity, evaluated against AQA's marking criteria. Without guidance on structuring the analytical commentary, this component can cost significant marks even for students who perform well in lessons.
For British curriculum families in the GCC, AQA A Level PE is a well-regarded qualification for UCAS applications to sports science, physiotherapy, kinesiology, and education degrees. A strong result, supported by quality online tutoring, positions students competitively for Russell Group and UAE university programmes alike.
Key takeaways
- Paper 1 tests physiology, biomechanics, and skill acquisition with evaluate and justify questions
- Paper 2 requires structured AO3 analysis in extended 9-mark responses
- The NEA is worth 30% and demands a well-structured written performance analysis
- AQA A Level PE supports UCAS applications to sports science and physiotherapy degrees
- Live 1:1 online tutoring addresses mark-scheme literacy that classroom teaching often misses

Your questions about AQA A Level PE tutoring, answered plainly.
From NEA support to Paper 1 physiology, here are the questions parents and students ask most before starting with Talimat.
What does AQA A Level Physical Education (7582) cover?
The qualification has three components: Paper 1 (physiology, biomechanics, skill acquisition), Paper 2 (psychology, sociology, sport and society), and the NEA (written performance analysis of a chosen physical activity). Each is separately assessed and weighted.
How is the NEA component marked?
The NEA is worth 30% of the total A Level marks. Students submit a written analytical commentary evaluating their performance in a chosen physical activity against AQA's published criteria. Tutors help students structure this commentary to meet examiner expectations.
Can tutoring help with the 9-mark extended writing questions?
Yes. The 9-mark questions on Paper 2 assess AO3 analysis and evaluation. Talimat tutors work through model answers, mark scheme language, and argument structure so students know exactly what is required before the exam.
How quickly can my child be matched to an AQA PE tutor?
Talimat matches students to a vetted AQA PE specialist in under 10 minutes. Tutors are available Monday to Saturday, Gulf Standard Time.
Is tutoring available for AS Level PE as well as A Level?
Yes. Talimat covers both AS Level and A Level AQA Physical Education. Sessions are tailored to the relevant papers and assessment objectives for each qualification level.
What is the cost of AQA A Level PE tutoring at Talimat?
A Level sessions start from AED 65 per hour. There is no enrolment deposit and you can cancel at any time. Your first session is free.
Do I need to sit my AQA exams through Talimat?
No. Talimat is an online tutoring platform. Students sit AQA exams through their registered school or an approved external exam centre. Your Academic Consultant can advise on suitable local options.
What university courses does AQA A Level PE support?
A strong AQA A Level PE result supports UCAS applications to sports science, physiotherapy, physical education, kinesiology, and education degrees at universities in the UK and across the UAE and GCC.
