Re: Studying PD for the HSC

Nah I find it the easiest =\ I feel as though I don't even need to study for it, I know everything - the text book back to front.

What are you finding hard ??

Re: Studying PD for the HSC

I'm just struggling to remember everything in fine detail like for example; in Sports Medicine I can remember the demands for specific athletes but I doubt I'll remember everything in fine detail by the time I finish revising the course.

Re: Studying PD for the HSC

I think the PDHPE course is fairly easy even though there's a lot of info, but i've found that people who find it really difficult understand better when they do pracs. Example: next week i'm 'tutoring' a couple of my friends that don't get the subject at all but i'll turn it all into a massive prac session because we never did pracs at school and its easier to learn- as long as u get the basic idea then winging is cinch.
Also ive found people can learn through the whole acrostic thing. Like-
The four types of strength: RAPE
R- elative strength
A- bsolute strength
P- ower
E- ndurance

If you know the dot points of syllabus and you know stuff about them and have relavent examples than pe is fairly easy!

Alot of the topics cross over for example FAP with SM and IP!

Re: Studying PD for the HSC

the post jus on top of mine is very good... you really have ot know your syllabus from back to front... and relevant examples... not just "bus-stop" examples that ppl from a "bus-stop" that dont even do pd can give, but realli comprehensive and effective examples...

my teacher has stressed to us that we know the content, exmaples etc.. but really its how u answer the question... he's noticed that with pd you really have to answer the question... for ecample for our trials, he asked a critically evaluate question, although most answers filled the required 2 pages... they only described or explained what was meant to be done... but if you know your terms, its more so "making a valued judgement" so saying this is effective or ineffective is seen as evaluating... what i did is i thought of how i answer questions in legal studies and adopted that style into pd... pd is my weakest subect and legal my strongest... so to adopt that evaluating skill into pd jus made it easier for me... but yeh im not saying its similar at all.. lolz know your syllabus, know your content.. then look into the verbs and do a couple of practice questions...

i cannot stress how much everyone should look at the verbs that questions use... this will b an indicator to the marker on how well u answer the question, that is if u can answer it... and if u can.. it'll distinguish the band 5's from the band6's.....

hope that is of help.... sorry for rambling...

in pdhpe, its easy to remember the content by relating it to things you are interested in.

For example, im a ski racer, so i remember the things that focus on my sport and similar sports quite easy.

but with core 1, i find that a tad more challenging as its hard to relate to things that interest me.

the acrostic poems are a good method of remembering. but look at something and try to remember what it is...


eg look at epidemiology,


cover it at you should remember that it is the study of health and illness within populations.

the more you test yourself, you will realise that you actually DO remember quite a lot!


good luck everyone!


i cant wait to sit the exam!!!:wave:

Making acronyms that you can remember really helps with the many different things to remember... Here are some of mine
(Epidemiology)
M-Mortality
I- Infant Mortality
L- Life expectancy
M- Morbidity

(groups suffering inequalities)
D- Disablity
O- Older
O- overseas (Australian's born overseas) what ever u remember easier
R- rural and remote
G-Gender
A- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
S- Socio economically disadvantaged

(Social Justice principles)
P-Participation
E-Equity
A-Access
R- Rights

I hope this helps a bit

Good luck guys

Re: Studying PD for the HSC

I personally swap the g and a so that it's doorags.

Anyway, I just study the chapter summaries in my text book, I read over them 3 times, if I'm done, I look up anything I'm not clear one.

Ooooh thanks for those! I am struggling to study for PD as well. I don't think it helps that we had a great teacher. We spent more time off track than actually ON the course. So I'm really worried how tomorrow afternoon is gonna go.

Re: Studying PD for the HSC

for those struggling with core 1...ottawa charter is a BIG concept and can be adopted into alot of areas...

Die Cats Stupid Rotten Bastards (im not a cat hater i love em...it just seemed to fit lol)

Developing personal skills
Community action
Supportive environments
Re-orienteering health services
Building healthy public policy

hope that helps...ps those people are right who said PE is such a high volume course, there is alot to know. though much of it is relative, try to apply it to general knowledge you already know and you should be fine...to those who "know the text book back the front" good fu*#ing on you...we dont need to know this..and we dont care..

Re: Studying PD for the HSC

... yea i am also finding it very hard to study for pdh/pe at the moment because there is lots of work to cover and for the hsc almsot everything gets covered in one question, so you have to like know basically everything in the book back to front. for me i do not like english and its kinda hard to understand it. :(
