Is this subject easy??

<< < (3/3)

Okay let me put it this way, it is extremely easy to do average in this subject, difficult to do very well (as in over 45)

Hey,
I did Health and attained a score of 48. I wouldn't classify Health as a particularly difficult subject, especially if you really are fascinated by the concepts taught. Then again, it's not a very easy one either - there is a vast amount of information to absorb, and the ability to analyse information and apply this knowledge to situations (rather than simply defining) is necessary to get a high study score. People erroneously conclude that it is very easy to get a high score with minimal work; I am not entirely sure why, because you definitely need to do a lot of work to get 45+.

As a student of both health and PE, I would probably put them on similar levels in terms of difficulty. They are different though - PE is more science-based, whereas H&HD is more focused on the sociological aspects of health. PE and Health complement each other very well, so I'd definitely suggest it to anyone interested in PE. A good gauge as to whether you might enjoy H&HD is if you're finding/found AOS1 (Physical Activity Participation) quite interesting and wanted/want to delve into it further. I would say you'd definitely be a health and human development student if this is the case.

I'd advise to have a good look at the Health study design here: http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vce/studies/healthnhuman/healthumindex.html, or have a flip through a friend's text book. DO NOT do the subject purely because you believe it'll be an easy subject to undertake and get a high score in, because there is a lot to take in and it will be near impossible and frustrating to stay focused if you're not really a health+hd person. Some of my friends have done health due to this misconception and have ended up with mediocre scores which have been scaled down.

Best of luck with everything, and if you have any more questions or anything feel free to PM me :).

How did you manage to get a 48?!
I'm in year 10, and I'm stuck between the choice of health, psych and accounting for.
I'm doing  bio 3/4 and eco 3/4 next year, along with english, methods, chem and i'm stuck on my last one.
