How many questions will be in my Level 3 Principles exam?
The number of questions varies per awarding body and training provider. However, usually, there are approximately 32 questions and 90 minutes to answer these.
Some awarding bodies now integrate the principles exam into the Level 2 Anatomy, so if you only have one exam to do at level 2, this will include the Level 2 Principles exam and is called:
Principles of Anatomy, Physiology, and Fitness.
They are all Multiple Choice questions, like those provided below
The topics covered in the Principles of Exercise section (or exam) are:
- Health and Wellbeing
- Components of Fitness
- Principles of Training
- The FITT Principle
- Training Special Populations
How to use these mock questions:
First Read the relevant section in your manual or use our Revision Bootcamp, and then work through the following 7 mock questions.
Do this under exam conditions. i.e. with no assistance from your book.
This will highlight your strengths, weaknesses and trends within the Level 2 Principles of Exercise exam (or section from your integrated level 2 exam).
We have created these questions by looking at past and live questions from all major awarding bodies including YMCA, Active IQ and VTCT. This means the exam questions are similar to those you can expect on exam day.
Check your answers at the bottom of the page and then look for any trends:
- What questions did you get wrong?
- Was this because of a lack of knowledge or complex question wording?
- What questions did you get correct?
- Was this because you understood the knowledge or it was easy question-wording?
- If you need more help with your knowledge and exam strategy check out our Level 2 Anatomy and Physiology Revision Bootcamp – including everything for your Level 2 Principles exam HERE
