VCE HHD Question Thread!

[gemmaruffin]

When is the best time to start doing practice exams and how many?

I started doing mine in the term 3 holidays and did about 7 or 8, including the school based ones. I got heaps of feedback on them though, so I think feedback>number, ie. if you have the choice to do one exam you can get heaps of feedback on, or 3 but no feedback, go for the one.

Hi, I was just wondering whether the brief descriptions outlined by heids are enough to give me full marks on a sac. Thank you

Unit 4 health and human development, the question I had was
Identify the SDG that aims to reduce under 5 mortality rate

(once I got out of the SAC I realised it was obviously SDG 3 Good Health and Wellbeing)

But silly me wrote SDG 2 Zero hunger and justified why
Would I still have lost marks for this ??

Hey guys - just with this I was wondering why it would be wrong to say SDG 2? Is it because SDG 3 is more specific to health that it's the best answer? Because I thought like essentially SDG 1 + SDG 2, also work to reduce U5MR e.g. for SDG 1 if there is no poverty, person can be educated + have better health knowledge when taking care of babies etc or like access to healthcare because of income?

Hey! At the end of the day, it's up to your teacher and whether they would accept SDG 1 or 2. What you're saying is 100% correct in that the achievement of SDG 1 or SDG 2 would likely reduce U5MR. However, the reason why SDG 3: Good health and wellbeing is the most correct is because if you recall- SDG 3 specifically focuses on:
- maternal and child mortality (i.e. U5MR)
- communicable diseases such as malaria, HIV/AIDS, hepatitis and tuberculosis.

It depends on how many marks the question is worth. Generally speaking though, the 'describe SDG #' questions are usually 2 marks, so the brief descriptions should be enough for full marks there

Hey guys! I have a question that's really bugging me!

So with the interrelationships questions for 6 marks between H, HD, AND SUS- do we answer that the same way we would a SHD question for 6 marks?

Also, in these interrelationships questions (whether that's between all 3 or just the interrelationship between health and HD, for example), for the health component, can we only mention the dimensions or also health status indicators?

(my teacher has told me that for the separate "health AND *Insert here* ..." we only use the dimensions)

Pleaseeeeee help out guys, got a SAC soon! :S

How many Ngo programs should we know?
Also For the DFAT Priorities would we need to know it contributes to sustainable human development and Global Health?

Thanks in Advance

Hey guys, for interrelationships questions (health, HD and sustainability), do we need to have three links or six links?


Thanks!!

For the interrelationships questions, they differ from SHD questions in that you must discuss the interrelationships. For SHD, you do not need to (but it is a good idea to anyway).

For both types of questions, you can use either dimensions or health status indicators.

Hey!
3 links. For the 6 mark question:
3 marks = health, HD, sustainability on their own
3 marks = the links/interrelationships

How many Ngo programs should we know?

By NGO programs, do you mean the aid programs addressing key issues like literacy, malaria, HIV/AIDs, etc.? If so, then you should know one program per issue (so 6 altogether). If you mean the non-gov organisations like World Vision, Oxfam, etc., then just stick to the ones your school is studying. For the exam, all you really need is to be familiar with some NGOs and their mission, but you won't be asked about the details of any specific NGOs for this topic.

As for DFAT, yes it is possible that you are asked how a priority might contribute to sustainable human development. It's a good idea to think about this beforehand, perhaps some practice questions on it. Otherwise, you can just apply your knowledge in the SAC/exam.

What is the cut off mark in the exams?

What is the cut off mark in the exams?

The cut off for what?

[Maya24]

For an A+ and an A

[gemmaruffin]

For an A+ and an A

If you head to the graded distribution, (http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/Pages/vce/statistics/2016/statssect3.aspx) it will show you each cut off for all parts of the exam. This usually doesn't change too much, but by googling 'graded distribution ..(insert year)..', you'll be able to find what it's been in the past

[Maya24]

Thank you, I was just wondering what it  meant by 159-200  for the A+ cut off  since i thought the exam was only out of 100.
