hi,

i would have to agree with what with Without Wings said about getting the syallabus. when our teacher gave us ours he told us that we should right the syllabus points and then summarise our notes into them as revision an example is:

measuring health status
role of epidemiology:
to develop a health profile of a community or population, specific information is gathered from various sources.

measures of epidemiology:
Infant mortality- number of infant deaths under 1years of age per1000 births.
Morbidity- incidence level of illness or sickness in a specific population.
Life expectancy- average number of years of life.

Mortality- the number of deaths in a population from a particular cause over a period of time.

that is the first point there.

also do drafts of your assessments and hand them into the teacher so they can look at it and show u where u can improve. Also ask for a marking criteria and look at the outcomes e.g. H1, H2.

Get someone that knows PE well, like peer to peer teaching. That is if u can get someone that isnt stingy and can be bothered doing it. Personaly this subject, not that hard and its interesting, its just that gotta remember figures and stuff. With the 2nd core about energy systems, its fairly easy.

hey there roxychicksta.
Buddy i feel your pain my class was filled with drop kicks that only picked pe because they thought that all you would do is play sport. A handy tip that my teacher gave me was to get a little exercise book and every night just spend 10-15mins making study notes about that days lesson. It helps a crap load come trial and hsc time because you will already have notes and all you have to do is cram them. Also what withoutwings said about the syllabus is a really good idea, in the hsc they can only ask you stuff that is in the syllabus (not so much in legal studies grr) so yeh it really helps if you know your syllabus. Create mnemonics for syllabus headings because they will help you heaps. Good Luck!

hey.. i have the same problem in maths but i take the initiative to catch up on what they had done using the text book and in class i work at my own pace teaching everything to myself, its not as easy to do with PDH cuz sometimes u need someone to explain it to u.. peer mentor/tutor was a good idea, i have a group of them they help heaps..

hey, i'll basically just repeat what was said earlier...USE THE SYLLABUS!!!! its sooo important. and then get practise questions, and as you answer these, figure out what syllabus point the question is relating to. then you'll be sweet

In our pe class we also use mind maps a lot it helps when it comes to an exam i write the mind map at the top of the page and then you can see what you need to include easily
stick with it its not too hard a subject. and don;t forget to refer to the sylabus so you don;t learn un, needed stuff and wast your time learning the wrong stuff

the main word that our teacher seys everyday "you have got 2 no your syllabous" she said it is the only way we r going to pass. so wat i have done it cuut it up and wrote under e4ach bit all the stuff that we have to no. also write out the main points for the syllabous. for example ENERGY SYSTEMS and then write the points that go underneth it, thats what we have to do every friday in class and it has really helped. good luck everyone

Accroyms are a good way of remembering in P.E.

My teacher said always make up little rhyms and accronyms before you go into the exam, the moment your able to write quikly write them down on planning paper and refer to them when needed!
