As a unified examination system implemented by the state, the Physical Education Secondary School Examination (SSPE) has significant results in enhancing students' physical fitness and health and promoting the reform of physical education teaching in schools. This paper adopts the literature method and policy analysis method. Taking Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other southwestern provinces as samples, it systematically examines the current situation of the implementation of the reform of the physical education secondary school examination. The study found that there are four major problems: the tendency of test-taking is prominent, and the test content is single; the evaluation system is not scientific enough, and the difference between urban and rural standards is significant; there is a lack of resources in rural areas, and there is a shortage of teachers and facilities; and there is a lack of adaptive assessment for special groups. To address these problems, the study proposes a multiple evaluation system of “physical fitness+skills+health knowledge”, dynamic scoring criteria, synergistic allocation of urban and rural resources, and classified assessment of special groups, and other optimization strategies, which will provide practical references to promote the reform of the physical education secondary school examination.
