Can someone help me with HHD?

[Gracierose]

Hi I've applied to complete Unit 3/4 HHD in 2018, without having previously one the 1/2. Will this be extremely difficult? How much catching up should I do? How hard is it to achieve 47-50 study score? My marks are generally around 90-100% through all my subjects.
Thankyou,
An anxious Year 10

Hey, I just responded to a similar question here: https://atarnotes.com/forum/index.php?topic=172572.0 You might find it useful!

In terms of getting a 47-50, many people will have different pieces of advice, but what I found most effective was spending time perfecting my responses to all the different types of questions VCAA could ask, knowing where the marks were allocated, developing a style of responding to those 5-6 mark questions, etc. to ensure that I don't lose any marks. HHD isn't difficult; where most people go wrong is that they simply don't put down enough info for full marks. If you can master this, and you are sure know your stuff, you can pretty much guarantee a pretty high score.

The difference between a 47 and 50... it really does come down to luck and things like nerves leading up to/during the exam so those are some things you will need to combat later on in the year. (Don't worry about that for now!!! )
