Hey does anyone know what scores would be needed to get a 45-47 in health?
I've been looking at the grade distributions, and since the A+ cutoff is quite low, can 3 low A+s get you a 40 in health like some of the other subjects?

[Smiley_]

If you get an A+ for each of your components then you would probably get higher than a 40.

So do I still have a good chance for a 50 if I can ace the exam?
Here are my score
Unit 3
29/30
39/30
40/40
Around 98%
Unit 4
25/25
20/25
50/50 - Hoping to get that , still have to do the sac
Around 95%

Do I need to ace the exam to get 50? or around 95%+?

Yep, 130% will guarantee you a 50

Hey there

I'm currently doing unit 2 of hhd and we are about to study adult health and development, I would really really really like to go on an excursion because we haven't been on one for this subject, but the problem is I have no idea where to go and neither does our teacher. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations?

Thanks in advance

A hospital, or how about a health promotion program or organisation that is close by.
That would be interesting!

The VicHealth priorities have changed, so I don't think PEPPI applies anymore. I use TEMPA (prevent harm from TOBACCO smoking, ENCOURAGE regular physical activity, improve MENTAL wellbeing, PROMOTE healthy eating, prevent harm from ALCOHOL)

isn't it prevent tobacco use, prevent harm from alcohol?

Lol you're right. I'd just done a question about reducing the prevalence of arthritis and I was obviously thinking about reducing still, haha.

Yeah I thought it was those as well.

I use PEPPI
