This mock paper analysis walks you through a typical Year 11 SQA Physical Education unit test on Factors Impacting Performance. It explains how the paper is structured, what each command word demands, how the four factors appear in questions, and how to build answers that reach the top mark bands. Every section includes a model answer, a table or a checklist you can use in revision straight away.
本文带你逐题拆解一份典型的 SQA 11 年级体育单元测试卷，主题为“影响表现的因素”。文章会讲清楚试卷结构、每个指令词的具体要求、四个因素在考题中的呈现方式，以及如何写出能进入最高分数档的回答。每一节都配有范例答案、表格或可直接用于复习的检查清单。
1. Assessment Structure and Command Words | 评估结构与指令词
The SQA National 5 Physical Education course - the qualification most Year 11 pupils in Scotland sit - is assessed in two parts: a practical performance and a written question paper. The unit test analysed here mirrors the written side. It is built almost entirely from short-response and extended-response questions. Short-response items usually carry 1 to 3 marks and ask you to state, describe or explain one idea. Extended-response items carry 4 to 6 marks and require several developed, linked points drawn from your own performance.
SQA 国家五级体育课程（苏格兰大多数 11 年级学生参加的资格）由两部分评估：实践表现和笔试问卷。本文分析的单元测试对应笔试部分，题目几乎全部由简答题和扩展回答题构成。简答题通常 1 至 3 分，要求你陈述、描述或解释一个要点；扩展回答题 4 至 6 分，要求你从自己的实际表现中提取若干有展开、有关联的要点。
Command words tell you the depth expected. 'Describe' means state what you did or what happened. 'Explain' means give a cause, reason or consequence, usually signalled by the word 'because'. 'Analyse' means break the performance down into parts and show how they connect. 'Evaluate' means make a judgement supported by evidence. 'Justify' means defend a choice or a decision with reasons. If you swap these words around, you lose marks even when your knowledge is correct.
指令词决定回答的深度。“描述”是陈述你做了什么、发生了什么；“解释”是给出原因、理由或结果，通常用“因为”来连接；“分析”是把表现拆解成部分，并说明它们之间如何关联；“评价”是基于证据做出判断；“论证”则是用理由支持你的选择或决定。如果把指令词理解错，即使知识本身正确也会丢分。
| Command word | What it asks for | Typical stem | Marks |
| Describe | State what happened or what you did | Describe the approach you used to collect data. | 2 |
| Explain | Give a reason, cause or consequence | Explain how the emotional factor affected your performance. | 4 |
| Analyse | Break down and show relationships between parts | Analyse the impact of your fitness on your technique. | 4 |
| Evaluate | Make a judgement using evidence | Evaluate the effectiveness of your training programme. | 6 |
| Justify | Defend a choice or decision with reasons | Justify why you selected the mental factor. | 3 |
In the mock paper, marks are awarded per valid point, and each point usually needs one extension to reach full credit - a reason, an example, or a link back to performance. A six-mark question therefore needs roughly three well-developed points, not six unconnected sentences.
在模拟卷中，分数按有效要点计算，而每个要点通常需要一次延伸才能拿满分——可以是一个原因、一个实例，或一次与表现的回扣。因此一道 6 分题大致需要三个充分展开的要点，而不是六句互不相干的句子。
2. Factors Impacting Performance (FIP) | 影响表现的因素
The heart of this unit test is the four factors that affect performance: Physical, Mental, Emotional and Social. Almost every extended-response question asks you to choose one factor, identify a weakness, and explain the impact on your performance in a named activity. A strong answer names the factor, names the activity and names the specific moment or skill involved. A weak answer talks about the factor in general terms and never reaches the practical context.
本单元测试的核心是影响表现的四个因素：身体、心理、情感和社交。几乎每道扩展题都会要求你选择一个因素、指出一个弱点，并解释它对你所指定活动表现的影响。高分答案会点明因素、点明活动、点明具体的技能或时刻；低分答案只会泛泛谈论因素，从未落到实际情境中。
| Factor | Sub-components | Typical data collection |
| Physical | Fitness (speed, agility, strength, flexibility, muscular endurance, cardiorespiratory endurance), skills, techniques and tactics | Standardised fitness tests, video analysis, observation schedule |
| Mental | Concentration, motivation, decision-making, confidence, focus | Questionnaire, self-reflection diary, concentration grid, teacher observation |
| Emotional | Anger, fear and anxiety, resilience, determination, embarrassment, mood | Mood questionnaire, self-rating scale, peer and teacher feedback |
| Social | Communication, team cohesion, cooperation, roles, etiquette and fair play | Team cohesion questionnaire, sociogram, observation schedule, video analysis |
Note that the factors are rarely isolated in real performance. Losing a point because of anger can also be described as a concentration problem, and poor team cohesion often shows up as a decision-making error. In the exam, choose the factor you can evidence most strongly, then stay inside it. Do not drift between factors in the middle of an answer, because each point must clearly serve the factor you chose.
要注意，真实表现中四个因素很少单独出现。因为愤怒而丢分，同样可以被描述为注意力问题；团队凝聚力差，往往表现为决策失误。考试时，请选择你证据最充分的那一个因素，并在整道题中始终围绕它，不要在回答中途来回切换，因为每一个要点都必须清楚服务于你选定的因素。
3. The Physical Factor in Detail | 身体因素详解
The physical factor is split into fitness and skill. Fitness covers the six fitness components: cardiorespiratory endurance, muscular endurance, speed, strength, flexibility and agility. Skill covers the techniques you perform, such as an overhead clear in badminton, a chest pass in basketball or a dig in volleyball. Tactics cover the decisions you make about where and when to play a shot. A precise answer says which of these is the weakness, not simply that you were 'unfit'.
身体因素分为体能和技术两部分。体能与括心肺耐力、肌肉耐力、速度、力量、柔韧性和敏捷性六个成分。技术指你执行的技能动作，例如羽毛球的高远球、篮球的胸前传球、排球的垫球。战术指你关于何时何地打出何种球的决策。精确的回答会说明弱点具体属于哪一项，而不会笼统地说自己“体能差”。
Model answer, 4 marks: 'My agility was a weakness in badminton (1). In the Illinois Agility Run I recorded 18.4 seconds against a class average of 16.9 seconds (2). This meant that when my opponent played a drop shot, I could not change direction quickly enough to reach the shuttle and my return was weak (3). As a result I lost the rally and my confidence dropped (4).' Notice how every sentence adds information that could be marked.
4 分范例回答：“我在羽毛球中的弱点是敏捷性（1）。在伊利诺伊敏捷跑测试中我跑了 18.4 秒，而班级平均为 16.9 秒（2）。这导致对手放小球时，我无法快速变向到位，回球质量很差（3）。结果我丢掉了这一分，信心也随之下降（4）。”请体会每一句都在增加可得分的信息。
The physical factor also links to the other three. A pupil who lacks cardiorespiratory endurance will fade in the third set, which is an emotional issue of resilience and a mental issue of decision-making. Examiners reward these links when they are relevant, but only if your opening sentence clearly identifies the physical factor as your main focus.
身体因素也与其他三项互相联系。心肺耐力不足的学生在第三局会明显掉速，这既涉及情感层面的韧性，也涉及心理层面的决策。考官欢迎这种关联，但前提是你的首句已清楚表明身体因素是你的主要切入点。
4. The Mental Factor in Detail | 心理因素详解
The mental factor covers concentration, motivation, decision-making, confidence and focus. Concentration is about sustaining attention on the relevant cues, such as the shuttle, the ball or an opponent's body position. Motivation can be intrinsic, coming from your own desire to improve, or extrinsic, coming from medals, selection or praise. Decision-making is about choosing the right option at the right time, for example passing or shooting in the final minute of a game.
心理因素包括注意力、动机、决策、信心和专注度。注意力指把注意持续放在相关线索上，例如羽毛球、球的轨迹或对手的身体姿态。动机可以是内在的，来自你自己想变强的愿望；也可以是外在的，来自奖牌、选拔或表扬。决策则是在正确的时间选择正确的方案，比如在比赛最后一分钟选择传球还是投篮。
Model answer, 4 marks: 'My concentration was a weakness in basketball (1). When the crowd reacted to a foul, I watched the referee instead of my opponent, so my marker cut past me and scored (2). This happened twice in the final quarter (3). It cost my team four points and I became frustrated, which made the problem worse (4).' The strength here is the named cue (the referee), the named consequence (a cut and a score) and the repetition that shows a pattern.
4 分范例回答：“我在篮球中的弱点是注意力（1）。当观众对犯规作出反应时，我盯着裁判而没盯住对手，防守对象空切得分（2）。这在最后一节出现了两次（3）。这让我们队丢了四分，我也变得烦躁，问题进一步恶化（4）。”这段的优点是点出了干扰线索（裁判）、后果（空切得分），以及说明这是重复出现的模式。
A common trap is writing about mental preparation such as visualisation or breathing routines when the question asks about the factor's impact on performance. Mental preparation belongs in the training section. For FIP questions, always tie the mental factor back to a specific skill, decision or point in the game.
常见的陷阱是：题目问的是因素对表现的影响，考生却去写视觉想象、呼吸调节等心理准备方法。心理准备属于训练部分。应对 FIP 类题目，一定要把心理因素回扣到具体的技能、决策或比赛中的某个时刻。
5. The Emotional Factor in Detail | 情感因素详解
The emotional factor includes anger, fear and anxiety, resilience, determination, embarrassment and general mood. Anger often appears when a decision goes against you and leads to rushed play or a foul. Fear and anxiety appear before a big game or a difficult skill, such as a somersault in gymnastics or a high jump at a personal best height. Resilience is the ability to recover from a mistake and keep performing.
情感因素包括愤怒、恐惧与焦虑、韧性、决心、尴尬以及整体情绪状态。愤怒常常出现在判罚不利于你的时候，会导致出手急躁或犯规。恐惧与焦虑会出现在重要比赛前或面对高难度动作时，例如体操的空翻、跳高中挑战个人最好成绩的高度。韧性则是从失误中恢复并继续表现的能力。
Model answer, 4 marks: 'Fear was the emotional factor that limited me in gymnastics (1). Before my routine on the beam I felt my heart rate rise and my hands shake (2). Because I hesitated before the cartwheel, I lost momentum and stepped off the beam (3). This cost me 0.5 in deductions and I did not attempt the second tumble (4).' Physical symptoms, a specific moment and a measurable consequence all gain credit.
4 分范例回答：“恐惧是限制我在体操中表现的情感因素（1）。上平衡木做整套动作前，我心跳加快、双手发抖（2）。因为做侧手翻前犹豫了，我失去动量，从木上掉了下来（3）。这被扣了 0.5 分，而且我之后不敢再做第二个翻腾动作（4）。”生理反应、具体时刻和可量化的后果都能得分。
When a question asks you to explain the impact of the emotional factor, the strongest answers describe both the internal state and the observable behaviour. 'I was nervous' is thin. 'I was nervous, so I rushed my first three serves and double-faulted twice' is a full-mark point because it links feeling to action to outcome.
当题目要求解释情感因素的影响时，最有力的答案是既描述内在状态，也描述可观察的行为。“我很紧张”太单薄；“我很紧张，所以前三个发球都很仓促，出现两次双误”才是满分要点，因为它把感受、行为和结果串联了起来。
6. The Social Factor in Detail | 社交因素详解
The social factor covers communication, team cohesion, cooperation, roles within a team and etiquette or fair play. Communication can be verbal, such as calling 'mine' in volleyball, or non-verbal, such as a hand signal in hockey. Team cohesion is the extent to which players work for each other, and it is usually visible in whether players track back, cover space and encourage one another after a mistake.
社交因素包括沟通、团队凝聚力、合作、团队内的角色以及礼仪与公平竞赛。沟通可以是语言的，例如排球中喊“我来”；也可以是非语言的，例如曲棍球中的手势。团队凝聚力指队员之间是否彼此配合，通常体现在是否回防、是否补位、失误后是否互相鼓励。
Model answer, 4 marks: 'Poor communication was my social weakness in volleyball (1). Twice in the second set my teammate and I both went for the same ball and neither of us called it (2). The ball dropped between us and we lost the point (3). After that we stopped talking altogether, which meant our setter could not organise the attack (4).' The answer moves from a single incident to a team-wide effect.
4 分范例回答：“沟通不畅是我在排球中的社交弱点（1）。第二局有两次我和队友同时去接同一个球，谁都没有喊（2）。球落在我们中间，我们丢了这一分（3）。此后我们干脆不再交流，导致二传无法组织进攻（4）。”这段回答从一次具体事件推进到了全队层面的影响。
Social questions are also the most common place for pupils to describe rather than explain. Describing your team as 'quiet' earns nothing on its own. You must show the consequence: a lost point, a mistimed rotation, a missed substitution or a breakdown in a set play.
社交类题目也是学生最容易“只描述、不解释”的地方。只把队伍形容为“很安静”本身不得分。你必须写出后果：丢掉一分、轮转失误、换人失配，或某个固定战术配合瓦解。
7. Data Collection and Approaches | 数据收集与研究方法
Every factor needs evidence, and the mock paper regularly asks how you gathered it. Physical data usually comes from standardised fitness tests: the Illinois Agility Run for agility, a 30 metre sprint for speed, the sit and reach test for flexibility, the multi-stage fitness test for cardiorespiratory endurance, and a hand grip dynamometer for strength. Recording the class average alongside your own score turns a raw number into useful evidence.
每个因素都需要证据，模拟卷经常考查你如何收集证据。身体数据通常来自标准化体能测试：敏捷性用伊利诺伊敏捷跑，速度用 30 米冲刺，柔韧性用坐位体前屈，心肺耐力用多阶段体能测试，力量用握力计。把自己的成绩和班级平均分并列记录，原始数字才能变成有用的证据。
For the Cooper 12-minute run, the estimate of aerobic capacity uses a simple equation, which is useful when you compare pre-test and post-test results over a training block.
如果你使用库珀 12 分钟跑，可以用一个简单公式估算有氧能力，这在对比训练前后的测验结果时很有用。
Estimated VO₂ max (mL·kg⁻¹·min⁻¹) = (distance in metres − 504.9) ÷ 44.73
Percentage improvement is the other calculation worth memorising, because it makes evaluations look precise:
另一个值得记住的计算是进步百分比，因为它能让评价显得更精确：
% improvement = (post-test score − pre-test score) ÷ pre-test score × 100
Mental, emotional and social data rely on softer methods: questionnaires with a 1 to 5 scale, self-reflection diaries completed after each session, a concentration grid test, a profile of mood states questionnaire, a team cohesion survey, a sociogram to map who passes to whom, and focused observation schedules where a partner tallies behaviours such as calls made or heads-up passes. Video analysis works across all four factors because it is permanent and can be replayed.
心理、情感和社交数据依赖较软性的方法：1 至 5 级量表问卷、每次训练后填写自我反思日志、注意力方格测试、情绪状态量表、团队凝聚力问卷、用来描绘传球关系的社交图，以及由同伴记录“喊话次数”“抬头传球次数”等行为的聚焦观察表。视频分析适用于全部四个因素，因为视频可以保存并反复回放。
When you describe an approach, always add why it suited your context and what its limitation was. A questionnaire gives you honest personal insight but depends on how self-aware you are; video analysis is objective but takes time to review. This kind of evaluation sentence is exactly what converts a 2-mark description into a 4-mark analysis.
描述研究方法时，一定要补上它为何适合你的情境，以及它有什么局限。问卷能带来诚实的自我认知，但依赖你的自我觉察程度；视频分析客观，但需要花时间回看。正是这类评价性句子，把 2 分的描述升级为 4 分的分析。
8. Model Answers and Marking Principles | 范例答案与评分原则
Marking in this unit test follows a point-based system. Each relevant, accurate point earns a mark, and points must be developed to earn credit at the higher end of a question. A development can be a reason, a specific example, a measurement or a consequence. Repetition of the same idea in different words does not earn a second mark, which is why padding never works.
本单元测试采用按点计分的方式。每个相关且准确的要点得一分，而在高分值题目中，要点必须经过展开才能得分。展开可以是原因、具体实例、测量数据或后果。同一个想法换一种说法重复，不会得到第二分，所以“凑字数”从来无效。
Compare these two versions of the same point. Weak: 'My speed was bad so I could not get to the ball and it was a problem for my performance.' Strong: 'My 30 metre sprint time of 5.2 seconds was slower than the class average of 4.8 seconds, so when my opponent played a through ball in hockey I
