101 MOCK QUESTIONS


How to use this exam guide:

Step 1: What to expect

Step 2: Discover the 3 part formula to passing your exam first

time

Step 3: Test your current knowledge using the 101 mock

questions

*Top tip: chunk them into 3-5 sections and review after each.

Step 4: Review your answers

*Top tip: look for trends – which modules were harder for you,

did you find the wording difficult, did you panic over specific

topics, did you read the question?

What to expect on your exam:

There are many different awarding bodies that you can complete

your Level 3 Anatomy and Physiology Exam with. This resource is

mapped to the Active IQ and YMCA (formally CYQ) qualifications.

If you are using an alternative awarding body, please cross

reference the below information with your qualification

information to ensure this is a relevant resource for you.

You have 40 Multiple Choice questions in 90 minutes (please

check this with your specific provider)

101 MOCK QUESTIONS


The 40 questions will include 3-8 questions on each of the

following 8 modules:

Mod1: Heart and Circulatory

Mod2: Musculoskeletal

Mod3: Muscle attachments

Mod4: The body in motion

Mod5: Posture, flexibility and core

Mod6: Nervous system

Mod7: Endocrine system

Mod8: Energy systems

The questions will appear in a random order in your exam.

However, in this resource we have evenly distributed them and

highlighted which module the question relates to. We do this so

you can cross reference and check the areas that you require

additional work on.

101 MOCK QUESTIONS


The 3 part formula to passing your exam:

There are 3 key ingredients to

passing your exam with

confidence. If you are missing

just one of these ingredients

then you could be leaving

your exam result to chance.

Here’s the 3 Part Revision

Success Formula:

Ingredient 1: A to B = You need to know where you are now (this is your

Point A). These mock questions are designed to give you a clear

understanding of where you are right now. You also need to know your end

outcome (Point B). this guide shares everything you need to know about

your exam and what to expect. [So, after completing this guide – you will

already have ingredient 1 in the bag]

Ingredient 2: Knowledge = Unfortunately, just practicing the answer to

mock questions isn’t going to be enough. You need to make sure you are

learning the content of your exam (all 8 modules) in a way that you can

retain it, but also answer around the topic. This means that you need to

spend time learning the content in a way that you can retain it. The best

way to do this is to simplify the information; which is exactly what we do in

our Revision Mastery Series to help you pass your exam first time. Click

101 MOCK QUESTIONS


Ingredient 3: Strategy = You could know all the information but unless

you know how to keep your cool on exam-day, you cannot guarantee a

pass. It is so easy to mis-read a question, read it too quickly, panic or get

flustered. having a strategy on exam day will help you keep your calm, so

you can get the answers correct.

Complete the 101 mock questions *Top tip: chunk them into 3-5 sections and review after each.
