VCE HHD Question Thread!

[gisele]

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.

The exam is marked twice (i.e. by 2 assessors), hence why it is out of 200.

Thank you for clearing that up

Hey guysss
I had my final 3/4 sac today and I'm honestly so concerned. I feel like I did atrocious on it, I actually believe I may have gotten a D on it.

Like it was a mess, in the lessons leading up to the SAC I was doing brilliant on the revision questions, I was getting full marks and everything. But the questions on the SAC somehow threw me off. I actually had a headache which didn't help and my mind went blank frequently. Haha. In fact I actually struggled on the interrelationship questions which is weird because I had practiced those questions so many times and I had perfected it so I don't know why I spaced out on it.

Anyway one of my answers that was bothering me the most was to an "evaluate the sustainability of this program" question. For appropriateness I wrote down that the program addresses an actual issue that the people in Bangladesh face. Then going through my notes in my book after the SAC I never even wrote that "addressing an actual issue the community faces" is part of appropriateness. Do you reckon it could be considered correct?

I'm honestly so worked up about this sac. If I don't do well on it I'm actually gonna die lmao

Don't stress! Overall, one SAC won't make that much of a difference to your scores.
Also, what you wrote for appropriateness is perfect - if a program needs to be appropriate, it has to address the needs of the community, which is an actual issue they would face!

Okay that's very comforting to hear, thanks. But still I value my scores way too much, I think it's unhealthy actually. Haha.

Hi! Are there a lot of essays in HHD?
Thanks!

Hello, I need help with a question
How does achieving food security assist in achieving 3 of the AUSTRALIAN AID PRIORITIES?

[Blessimms]

Hello I'm in Year 11 and i'm hoping to do Health and Human Development 3/4 next year  without doing 1/2 is that a good idea, or am I setting myself up for failure

[Joseph41]

Apologies to those I've not responded to - I'll let somebody else have a crack here (I'm not too sure on responses).

Hey amorphous.

HHD doesn't have essays in the same way that, for example, English has essays. There are some questions that require longer responses (usually about six marks), but they don't need to be structured in an essay form.

So, to answer your question: no, not really - but you may need to provide some extended responses.

Hey Blessimms! Welcome to ATAR Notes.

Nah, that sounds like a fine enough idea to me. What's your rationale for picking up HHD? Are you interested in the content?

I don't think you're setting yourself up for failure, necessarily; I didn't do 1/2, either, and finished with a 50 study score.

[Maya24]

What is the best way to revise for Health?

[Butterflygirl]

I'm freaking out about the amount of content. Ahh

Similar to the question above, does anyone have any tips on improving quality of responses??

I find that doing practice exams and then correcting them really help. Add corrections and phrases to your current answers and copy the good answers from the solutions just to like get the general structure of how they do it.

Does anyone know if glycaemic index is in our study design? So like would we be asked to define and explain it? thanks

Nope. It was removed with this study design.

[littledreamer]

Nope. It was removed with this study design.

For nutrition can we still talk about how low GI carbohydrates protect against diabetes? and how high GI carbohydrates are risk nutrients?

[Maya24]

Yes we can as it is part of carbohydrates
