I'm sure SOMEONE has done this...otherwise, why would they even have it?

Myself, I would rather take the physical education exam from the comfort of my office chair...than actually being out there sweating and working hard. :p

50% Pass rate!? I'm assuming it's not free to enter? :hmm:

Nope. It's about $400 to have the Council evaluate your application and pay for the national exam. If you live in California, you have to fork over an additional $400 or so for their state specific exams.

I guess this is a good alternative for people who wants to study Sport (PE) without going to University.

Earning a P.E. license is serious business and has serious implications. You don't want just anyone getting a P.E. license because it means they are able to design things that can kill you if done improperly.

My PE class in high school had a final. It was a dead simple multiple choice test about health stuff. We never had a single lecture, but it was so easy you would have to be a moron to fail. I think the state required that every class have at least one written assignment or test.

It was questions like:

Which of the following foods is high in protein?
a) apple
b) lettuce
c) beef

I passed a PE Exam. I had to run a mile, make one 3 point shot in basketball, make one tackle and receive a football, one goal in soccer, make at least a single in baseball and catch a fly ball, give two kids a concussion in dodgeball and finally prove I slept with at least one cheerleader.

Ah the Presidents Challenge Fitness test. I remember getting a patch for my jacket for being in the 80 something percentile. I can't believe they charge for that now. Used to be free!
