Sample SSLC Health and Physical Education Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your SSLC Health and Physical Education exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Which statement best describes personal wellbeing for a Year 12 student?

A.Wellbeing is only the absence of diagnosed disease

B.Wellbeing depends only on sporting success

C.Wellbeing is measured only by body weight

D.Wellbeing includes physical, mental, social and spiritual health working together

Explanation: Personal wellbeing is holistic. Physical fitness, thoughts and feelings, relationships, and values or faith all interact, so a student can be illness-free and still have poor wellbeing if sleep, stress, or relationships are neglected.

2A student wants a personal health goal that is specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound. Which goal best meets those SMART features?

A.Get healthier sometime this year

B.Train like an Olympic athlete starting tonight

C.Never eat any food that tastes good

D.Walk briskly for 30 minutes after school on five days each week for the next month

Explanation: A SMART goal names the behaviour, amount, frequency and timeframe. Brisk walking for 30 minutes on five days each week for one month can be checked and adjusted.

3A classmate privately says they feel hopeless and have thought about harming themselves. What is the safest first response?

A.Promise to keep it a total secret so they still trust you

B.Joke about it so they stop being dramatic

C.Take the statement seriously, stay with them if you can, and get a trusted adult or health worker involved

D.Ignore it unless they mention it again in public

Explanation: Talk of self-harm is a safety issue, not a confidence to hold alone. A peer should listen without judgement, not leave the person isolated, and connect them quickly to a parent, teacher, counsellor, pastor or health worker.

4Which response is an example of assertive communication?

A.I am not drinking tonight. Thanks for offering, but I am heading home after the game.

B.You are an idiot if you think I would drink with you.

C.Saying nothing, then later complaining to other friends

D.Agreeing to drink so nobody thinks you are rude

Explanation: Assertive communication states a clear personal limit calmly and respectfully. It protects the speaker’s health decision without attacking the other person.

5Which combination of daily choices most directly lowers a young person’s long-term risk of non-communicable diseases such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease?

A.Skipping breakfast, energy drinks, and late-night gaming only

B.Sweating heavily once a month then resting for weeks

C.Taking vitamin pills while remaining inactive and smoking

D.Regular physical activity, mostly whole foods, enough sleep, and not using tobacco

Explanation: NCD risk is shaped by repeated behaviours. Movement, a varied mostly whole-food pattern, sleep, and avoiding tobacco are the personal decisions with the strongest everyday influence.

6Friends dare a student to vape behind the church hall. Which decision skill is most health-protective?

A.Accept once so the group stops asking

B.Argue until the loudest person wins

C.Vape only if nobody films it

D.Refuse clearly, leave if needed, and use a prepared reason that matches your values

Explanation: Healthy decision-making uses a clear refusal, an exit plan, and a reason prepared in advance. Nicotine products harm the developing brain and lungs even if the dare happens only once.

7Two teammates argue over who should take the last penalty kick. Which approach is most likely to produce a win-win outcome?

A.The louder player takes the kick and the other stays silent

B.A spectator decides by shouting the popular name

C.They stop speaking to each other for the rest of the season

D.They name the shared goal, listen to each reason, and agree a fair rule such as rotating takers

Explanation: Problem-solving conflict resolution focuses on the shared interest (the team’s best chance) and a rule both can accept. That is more likely to protect the relationship and the task.

8A student is criticised in class, snapped at by a sibling at home, then bumped in the market. Why might the same person show different emotional reactions in those three places?

A.Emotions are random and cannot be understood

B.School rules remove all emotion

C.Only the street environment can cause anger

D.Setting, relationship, audience and perceived consequences change how feelings are expressed

Explanation: Emotional reactions are shaped by context. Power, fa‘aaloalo (respect), who is watching, and possible consequences all influence whether a person speaks up, withdraws, or holds feelings in.

9Which set is made up of protective factors for adolescent mental wellbeing?

A.Supportive family, at least one trusted adult, regular sleep, and belonging in school or church

B.Social isolation, chronic sleep loss, and heavy unsupervised alcohol use

C.Public humiliation as motivation and keeping all problems private

D.Unlimited late-night social media and skipping meals

Explanation: Protective factors reduce the impact of stress. Connection with caring adults, predictable sleep, and a place to belong are consistently linked with better adolescent mental health.

10At a Saturday to‘ona‘i a cousin offers a Year 12 student several beers. Which decision best weighs short-term social pressure against longer-term health and safety?

A.Drink quickly so the offers stop

B.Accept because adults are drinking, then walk home alone after dark

C.Decline alcohol, stay with a planned ride or family, and keep a respectful reason ready

D.Mix beer with energy drinks to stay alert for church in the morning

Explanation: A sound personal health decision names the risk (alcohol, injury, impaired judgement), keeps an exit and transport plan, and uses respectful refusal so family relationships are not needlessly damaged.
