FAQ A Level Physical Education:

Can I carry forward my coursework if I am resitting?
Yes, pick the appropriate option. You will need to provide the UCI number you used when you originally took the exams and provide evidence that the coursework has been completed.

I am completing my coursework with a tutor or distance learning provider, is this acceptable?
We are unable to accept coursework completed with a tutor for A Level Physical Education. 

If I select the ‘Coursework Required’ option what does this provide?
You will need to provide video evidence of your participation in the one sport from the list available in the OCR Guide to NEA. This can either be in the role of a performer or a coach. Along with the video evidence you should also complete a log of competitive participation in your chosen sport. These will be reviewed and assessed by our A Level Physical Education specialist. In all videos the candidate being assessed must be able to be clearly identified. Details of how to supply the evidence will be sent to you by email.
For the ‘Evaluation and Analysis of Performance’ component of the coursework you will be required to attend the centre in Birmingham in April to complete the task which will take approximately one hour to complete. The dates for this will be emailed to you in March.
We strongly recommend that you familiarise yourself with the OCR Guide to NEA document as this provides the criteria for the coursework in A Level Physical Education including the skills needing to be demonstrated in the Practical Performance and the format of the Evaluation and Analysis of Performance section.

Can I choose the sport I use for my Practical Performance section of the coursework?
You can select any sport as long as it is listed in the exam board specification and conform to their criteria.   Cambridge OCR Physical Education H555 Specification
