Title: Anyone Doing PE?
Post by: J.Z-M on February 06, 2008, 01:20:59 pm: ;D

If anyone needs advice with this subject/help feel free to PM me.
For some silly reason this is one subject i am really good at(unlike many other subjects lol)
Btw, what book(s) is your school using?
(I thought Health and Physical education Book 2 by Damien Davis) was pretty good.

Post by: nickj on June 12, 2008, 02:39:02 pm: Late reply, but I am doing PE this year. Loving it at the moment. Getting my act together after putting little effort in at the start of the year and results are paying off :) Im aiming for around 40 give or take. And using the Nelson book also.

Post by: akkxn on June 21, 2008, 11:37:30 pm: PE's my fav subject. Been doing pretty well in the sacs - all A+'s cept for 1 A (energy systems)

O.P. do you have any P.E. specific study tips + advice for exams?
Title: Re: Anyone Doing PE?
Post by: bucket on June 21, 2008, 11:38:56 pm: I'm doing p.e. as well. It's fun, but I never do homework for it lol.
Got 81/100 in sacs for the semester which, in my opinion, is pretty mad for not doing any homework the whole year lol.

Post by: ausyid on July 08, 2008, 02:42:59 pm: I love P.E.

My best and favourite subject by far.

Only concern is that my teacher doesn't know what he is doing. Have got 98/100 in SACs so far. Loving it.

Post by: melaniej on July 13, 2008, 09:20:14 pm: if you're struggling to remember it all, best thing to do is make your own notes. i've done all my unit 3 ones over this holidays, and starting to go over old exam questions, finding it really helpful :)
Title: Re: Anyone Doing PE?
Post by: mywaywithwords on July 22, 2008, 05:43:07 pm: Are all schools using Nelson PE text books? I am using Live it Up 2, and it isn't great. Doing Checkpoints and past exam questions as I go though, and have purchased Nelson....hope all the work pays off
Title: Re: Anyone Doing PE?
Post by: transgression on July 22, 2008, 05:57:58 pm: We concurrently use Nelson and Live it Up 2 (Nelson being the predominate text bookand Live It up borrowed for the whole school year from the school library) . I find LIU to be all over the place and less organised than Nelson, but having said that, some of the information is better explained/more in depth in LIU.
Title: Re: Anyone Doing PE?
Post by: melaniej on July 22, 2008, 09:20:46 pm: Not a huge fan of Nelson... but its prob one of the better texts used.
Checkpoints are so useful!
And the leading edge notes help as well!
Title: Re: Anyone Doing PE?
Post by: transgression on July 22, 2008, 09:37:16 pm: the test your knowledge questions are pretty good as well!
Title: Re: Anyone Doing PE?
Post by: melaniej on July 22, 2008, 09:43:08 pm: i dont reckon.
theres alot that test the stuff from the next chapter, or like, i dunno some really obscure or misleading or... i cant think of the word... ambiguous, thats it!
i much prefer checkpoints + nelson workbook
Title: Re: Anyone Doing PE?
Post by: transgression on July 24, 2008, 04:44:02 pm: but the questions are much more harder than the checkpoints in nelson :(
i guess it is up to the individual :)
Title: Re: Anyone Doing PE?
Post by: melaniej on July 24, 2008, 06:34:17 pm: do you mean... checkpoints as in the separate book?

not the ones in the nelson book, they aren't great!
