How did everyone go?

[rebeccab26]

How did everyone justify picking their low mortality strata country?
I just used U5MR but there was no adult mortality rates
I'm thinking 1 mark for picking the right country and 1 for justification using data on U5MR?

Hmm, was that the very last question with the table?

Yep!

I thought it was a 4 mark question. Had all these mortality rates and %'s in it. I chose the one that seemed the lowest to me (Chad) and compared it with Australia. I wrote 4 different statistics for the full 4 marks comparing it with Australia

There was identify a country and use data to justify [2 marks]
and then account for the differences [i used access to health care and access to education.  i then compared australia and chad for both [2 marks each so total of 4 marks]].

Hmm interesting, thought the marks were a bit different but that's alright. Can't remember that exam that well

pretty sure it was that
i could be wrong though haha
how did you find it?

I found it alright that one. Discussed the statistics of U5MR, Life expectancy, Maternal Mortality and Income I think. Was alright that question, did you find it alright?

wasnt it justify your choice of strata?
the only indicators for mortality strata are U5MR and adult mortality 15-59.
ahhhh as if i stuffed this up

Yep it was. Mortality strata only takes into account child and adult mortality rates. So therefore you would need to only use the U5 mortality rate statistics and the other mortality-related statistics to mould your answer for that one.

I honestly can't remember too well that question off the top of my head

the only other one they had was maternal mortality [not taken into account in any of the measurement systems of development]

Then you would assume the strata level based off the U5 mortality rate then since that's a clear child mortality indicator? right? :S

So for a country with a evidently high U5 mortality rate, it would be either a D or E strata because A, B and C all define child mortality as being low or very low?

Yep!!!!
I chose chad - very high u5mr so probs stata E
not 100% sure though haha

From memory, Strata D

SHIT
would they penalise for not knowing the right strata?
i either said a high u5mr or very high u5mr and then put [possibly strata E] in brackets!!!

Didn't necessarily ask what Strata it is in so you won't be penalized I don't think

would i be penalised if i said "very high"
so paranoid now LOL

I think you may lose 1 mark out of the two because the question is formed around justification of the actual strata level. but I think if you still explained yourself to a sufficient level why you chose Strata E, then you should still get 1.

Yeah true.
I think i said they have a high/very high U5MR, thus, are in a low strata [most likely strata E] and then used data of the actual u5mr

Do definitions have to be word by word? I think my 'mental health' definition, i included more than was needed

I think they have to be somewhat accurate to the definition in the textbook/specified by VCAA, but if you explain it in the same context as the definition but in a different way then that should be fine too.

they just wanted an explanation of mental health - not a definition
especially since the definition describes positive mental health rather than mental health itself

yep!
for definitions you should just be as close as possible.
it isnt an issue to them unless you change the meaning of it

You are right but i needed to define it in order to explain my answer. I think I got it though; four factors to it.

Would be so much easier to answer questions if we had the exam uploaded to look at! If anyone is reading that has the exam, please upload!

good work!


i said "mental health refers to the state of the mind and thought patterns. It includes levels of self esteem and levels of confidence

I agree as well, haven't seen it for 2 days now lol.

i said "mental health refers to the state of the mind and thought patterns. It includes levels of self esteem and levels of confidence

I said that mental health relates to the ability to cope with the everyday stresses of life. An example of this is self-esteem.

or something similar to that ^ can't remember it exactly

I said something along the lines of 'mental health includes the ability of an individual of realizing their full potential,  coping with the normal stresses of life, working fruitfully and efficiently and participating in the community. Also refers to self esteem'
