Title: How to get a band 6 in PDHPE
Post by: Amelia12 on July 13, 2015, 06:32:50 pm
This is my advice and experience on how to get a band 6 in PDHPE.

My top tips …


1.   Your syllabus is your bible


All questions for trials and the HSC come from the syllabus so get to know it front to back! You will never be shocked by any questions in the exam if you do this. 
If you don’t feel like doing intense study, an activity we did in class was to cut up the syllabus in even pieces and rearrange it like a puzzle.

2. Make your own study notes
I found that making my study notes really helped me in PDHPE and was actually kind of fun. PDHPE was one of my favourite subjects so I actually enjoyed making the notes and I was learning at the same time. I added lots of diagrams, tables and colour to help me remember the content. Once I had finished my notes I found it really useful to look over my friends notes to add anything that I had missed or that they had done better than me. It’s also a great idea to show your teacher and get their opinion on the content.

My notes can be downloaded at http://atarnotes.com/pages/?state=hsc&subject=PDHPE&units=&p=notes&display=list&search=
3.   Practice makes perfect
Once you have written study notes and know the content in the syllabus, do tonnes of practice questions!! I got mine from past HSC papers and trial papers. You can also get study books such as Excel or Dotpoint, which are really good too. Doing this will give you a great idea of how to answer questions if they come up in an exam and is also a great method of studying.

4.   Go the extra mile
So you want a band 6? In order to be rewarded you need to put in a bit of extra effort. Hand up your practice questions for marking to get feedback and then redo the questions later if you want to. Another great idea is to do some practice essays – this is great to improve your essay writing skills and learn the syllabus content.
Another great idea I was given, was to redo the trial questions you didn’t get right. Generally, trial papers are a lot more difficult to the actual HSC so fixing your mistakes in the trials is great for HSC preparation.

5. Start everything early
There is nothing more stressful than thinking that you are underprepared for an exam or assessment so my best advice is to start studying and preparing for exams early. Don’t leave your assessments till the last minute (1 am the number one culprit for doing this). Just think about the extra marks you could have got if you were more prepared! It is also a really good idea to utilise those few weeks before the HSC for study and practice and don’t waste your time.

6. Try to get good marks throughout your whole HSC year
If you do well throughout the whole year you will be in the best position. However do not stress if your trial mark isn’t as high as you had hoped. The trials are tough, but you still have time to redeem yourself and if you did well in your other assessments you will be okay thus it is really important to put in the effort!

7. Use your classmates to your advantage
It really helps to help each other out. This will boost your ranking and average mark. If your whole cohort does very well, you will bring up each other’s marks and preform exceptionally in the HSC. For example my ranking was in the bottom half of the class and I still managed to get a band 6!

8. My last tip is to enjoy PDHPE. Generally if you have fun and enjoy the subject you will do well ☺ Put in the effort and you will be rewarded in the end.

Hey! Sorry, the website just had a really big development and something glitched with the HSC notes, which is why this link is broken. I'm about to upload all of the notes from the new site by Monday night - I'll email you when it's all done (lots of notes other than PDHPE if you're still waiting on trials).

Best,

Brenden :)

p.s - good luck for trials!

Hey! Both Isabel and skysailingaway
 I'm doing PDHPE this year aswell, thought I could possibly be of help..
Here are a couple things I make sure of when answer MC:

1. ALWAYS ready all 4 options because most of the time there are two answers that are extremely similar and may just be worded different and it is your job to pick the best answer (in some cases yes more than one answer could be correct)

2. Process of elimination - usually there is 1 or 2 that just make no sense what so ever...get rid of those and work from there

4. Identify the syllabus dopt point, could possibly help derive the answer

5. Statistics, graphs...be familiar with them e.g. CVD and cancer as these are common multiple choice questions

Hope this was helpful, let me know if there is anything else I could help with

Alex :)

I didn't do PDHPE, but I totally agree with this method of attacking multiple choice questions. You can usually narrow it down by at least half, just using Step 2 as described by WLalex. Get lots of practice with MC questions, because at the end of the day they really are worth a fair number of marks. Seriously good advice WLalex!

Thank you.
Hi there! Not sure if you still need an answer but I just wanted to take a crack at answering:
First let's look at what comes under the dot point in the syllabus:

Sports policy and the sports environment
- rules in sports and activities
- modified rules for children
- matching of opponents, e.g. growth and development, skill level
- use of protective equipment
- safe grounds, equipment and facilities

You're definitely going to have to address the above points in this question.

Since the question is asking you to "evaluate", you're going to have to provide a judgement on whether or not these aspects promote safe participation. It's good to identify how policies promote safety to an EXTENT. Be sure to identify the extent.

For PDHPE questions, it's VERY important that you provide relevant examples to show your understanding of the syllabus. So for this question, I would choose NRL (because I've studied it)

Start with a brief intro (because teachers love intros):

The presence of sports policy and a safe playing environment is essential for injury prevention in athletes and thus safe participation in sports. The various aspects that make up sports policy and a safe sporting environment and assist in promoting athlete wellbeing and safety include rules in sports and activities, modified rules for children, etc... The role of sports policy and the sports environment in promoting safe participation can particularly be examined in many sports such as NRL.

And then you start getting into each aspect of the points under the dot point.
Here's an example:

As many sports and activities have considerable potential for player injury, rules are enforced in order to assist the flow of play and promote player safety and well being. This can particularly be demonstrated in NRL as it is a collision sport, thus presenting many opportunities that may endanger an athlete's safety and wellbeing.
In acknowledging the potential for athlete injury, rugby league policy outlaws dangerous tackles, such as head high or spear tackles. Players will be penalised for committing these illegal movements as they either are ‘sin binned’ or sent off-field for the rest of the match. This promotes athlete well-being and safety as these movements can cause neck, spinal and head injuries, potentially leading to permanent disabilities. Hence, rules in sports and activities promote safe participation as they assist in injury prevention.

And rinse and repeat! Be sure to chuck in some examples that show that some policies don't really promote safe participation so you're actually evaluating.
For example, matching of opponents in children games. For NRL, mod league matches kids by age groups which has pros and cons. This is good because kids are getting matched up by their skill level and mental maturity level but it's also bad because kids can vary in size and body type - so larger kids would have an unfair advantage against smaller kids, which has the potential for injury since it's a collision sport...

Hope that helped!

 would it be possible to post one of my responses for feedback?
Here is one, I have many more;

1.   Describe the contribution of the 3 energy systems during the 1500m swim event (4 marks)

whilst undertaking a sporting activity, 3 energy systems consisting of the atalacticid (atp/pc), lactic acid and aerobic system are utilised. the proportion of each engergy system depends on the duration of intensity and movement. However, in the case of a 1500m swim event, the atalactid system will be used for the initial 10-12 seconds of the swim event at 100% max personal intensity. the lactic acid system would follow for a duration of 30 sec- 3min of 70-90% intensity. The remaning pool distance would be covered via the aerobic system at 70% power.

Hi!
Your response sounds great, however a couple suggestions. It is important to note that each energy system is not successive as you are implying, but rather they each turn on at the same time, just one is DOMINANT at each time, so you have the right idea. Also maybe be more specific and use examples: The alactacid system is the dominant energy system during the first 10-12seconds, particularly during the dive start, due to the explosive nature of the movement.

Just clarifying is all it needs
Good Luck!   :)

Hi!
So, simply put, reliability relates to the repetition of a test, Eg/ same test repeated on different days under the same conditions. Validity is testing what it's supposed to test, Eg/ if you wanted to work out the fitness of a basketball player, you're not going to make them shoot baskets, you're going to give them a series of fitness tests, such as the beep test. So, something may be reliable since it was repeated, but not valid, as it did not test what they wanted to achieve.

Visualisation and mental rehearsal are similar. Visualisation engages only with the visual sense, so just seeing an image (Eg. visualising a 100m track race). Mental rehearsal engages with all the sense, ie/ sight, touch, sound, taste, smell (Eg. visualise the 100m race, hearing the spectators, feeling theair on your body etc.)

Hope this helped :)

Whoa super impressive! ;D definitely possible! Though perhaps a little harder given the methods of assessment and the relative difficulty - The maximum mark anyone received for PE in their HSC last year was a 99.

Can you get 100? Absolutely! But be prepared to work super hard, consolidate your knowledge regularly, do loads of practice, and be super confident! You'll never score that well without believing you can :)

Mainly for ways in which you can enhance heat loss in sporting situations!

Convection:  The air moving across the skin is cooler where the cooler and stronger the wind, the greater the effect.
Radiation: The atmosphere surrounding body’s surface must be cooler so that skin surface warms up the surrounding air causing heat loss from body.
Conduction: Ice pack on skin causes direct heat loss.
Evaporation: Airflow over the sweat on surface of skin causes accelerated heat loss from body into surrounding air.

Specific examples are quite tricky as this whole process is pretty general.

You said we should write our own notes. I'm just wondering, do you think it would be a good idea for PDHPE to use pre written notes like the ones offered by ATAR Notes but you still write your own notes for options? Like can you do really well if you practice a lot even with pre made notes? Is it even maybe possible to rank?

You can definitely state rank using pre-made notes, or with your own notes. It's about personal preference! Practice is always going to be more effective than writing notes anyway. If you find a set of notes that works well for you, be they the ATAR Notes ones or otherwise, then why write more? The purpose of notes is to make your revision easier while you are studying - You don't lose anything by not writing them yourself. You gain time to use on practice responses! :)

Going off what Jamon said, I never once wrote my own notes during my HSC last year instead I just completely devoted my study time to past papers and practice questions. I think it depends on what kind of learner you are, so if you're the type that can learn from reading a slab of text, or writing out key points (I definitely know a few ppl like that) then I'd say writing notes may be a good idea. A really good friend of mine last year wrote the most amazing, detailed and comprehensive notes for all of her subjects, putting a lot of time and effort into them and came away with a 98.25 ATAR. However for me (and A LOT of other people I know) who are more practical based learners it is really a waste of time (well maybe not a complete waste of time, but definitely time that would be better spent on other things).

Of course I didn't study PDHPE so it might be different. However those are my two cents. A happy medium I'd say is to not write complete, detailed course notes for everything, but maybe just 1 page summary sheets for each topic on the MOST important stuff that you can easily go over before an exam, or stuff that is directly related to exam responses such as detail and linking tables (not sure if they're applicable to PDHPE, but i used them a lot for other subjects).

I've just revived my sports med marks back from last term and i'm not too happy... i was marked down on an answer in regards to children and athletes because my "example was weak"... I have enclosed it below and was just wondering how I could make it stronger? A lot of girls in my class thing they mark unreasonable!

Epilepsy is the disruption of brain function, which causes a brief alteration to the level of consciousness and results in seizures or fits. Coaches, trainers, parents or supervisors should know what to do if a seizure occurs. Children and young athletes should follow their doctor’s advice on what activities they should partake in, but generally most sports are safe to participate in. However, if a child is prone to have seizures regularly, they should avoid high contact sports such as rugby league. In addition to, rock climbing and scuba diving should also be avoided, as there is an increased risk of harm if the individual loses consciousness. For example; a child with epiplepsy playing soccer should ensure his coach is aware of of the issue. The trainers would advise the opposing team to especially avoid contact as it may instigate seizure. If an attack were to occur during the soccer match; the child should not be restrained, obstacles should be moved away and their head should be supported. To manage epilepsy, children and young athletes should keep hydrated, shouldn’t be overtrained and they should avoid stressful situations.

Hi! I'm a tad stuck on this question, "How do the five action areas of the Ottawa Charter address the principles of social justice? Include examples in your answer. 8 Marks"... Would I go through every action area of the Ottawa Charter and how it addresses principles of social justice with relevant examples for each? It seems the most logical thing to do although I feel as though that would take a long time and a lot of writing, deducting from time to answer other questions? :)

Personally I would decide on one health promotion initiative (for example; National Tobacco Strategy) and talk about how the five action areas all work together within this initiative in addressing the principles of social justice. I'd highly recommend doing this as the 'Learn To' dot point requires you to relate them all to a Health Promotion Initiative :) Hope this helps

Your structure depends on the type of question that's being asked and what syllabus dot points it covers! :)

Hi guys,

can someone please help in suggesting what I need to add and talk about in the core one question- Evaluate health care in Australia examining issues of access and adequacy in relation to the social justice principles- 8 marks


Thankyou!!!

Okay so a major tip would be to look over the syllabus learn abouts that are under "Health Care in Aus" - all of those dash points should be covered in your response

When talking about the different types of health care (e.g. medicare & private health insurance) you need to discuss how they relate to the social justice principles (equity, diversity & supportive environments). So for example private health insurance would be considered in equitable as it is much more expensive and does not appeal to people with a low socioeconomic status, etc...

Sorry just to add! Because it is a 8 marker question, you should ensure to talk about 3 or more different examples and cover all social justice principles wherever you can

Ah thankyou!
So there's 5 -points, do you suggest attacking all of them?

Sorry just double checking :)

I currently have a PDHPE exam coming up.
How would you answer questions on nutrion. (pre performance carb loading, during performance, post performance)
Would you have to specifically mention that you need to consume 200g of carbs and drink 600mL of water etc...

Hi I was just wondering, for Improving Performance,
Do you choose TWO types of training ie aerobic, strength, anaerobic, flexibility or skill
OR do you need to cover all of them?
Thanks

Hello,

This might be a stupid question. But, instead of writing "Coronary Heart Disease, Stroke and Peripheral Vascular Disease", can you just write "Cardiovascular Disease"?

Do we need to know about the Jakarta Declaration?

Hey, can you please send me the notes as well please?  :D
Also for your options did you do health of young people and equity of health?

Hey there!! Nope it’s not compulsory to learn anymore since the 2010 syllabus change so no real point looking into it unless you wanna get some background info into other health promotion initiatives :)

Hello,

Will be dependent on the question but yes you can! If it was a higher order question like an 8 marker maybe go over what CVD consists of aka the other three you mentioned. But if it was only around a two marker I doubt you’d need to go into depth :)

Mod Edit: Post merge :)

There’s a bunch of notes here for PD https://atarnotes.com/notes/?pag=1&state=3719&subject=4970&unit=0&key=&sort=date for core 1 and 2 in particular but unfortunately I can’t seem to see them for your options. But still have a double check and defs look through the core 1 and 2 ones!!

Otherwise maybe get a group of friends together to make syllabus notes, it’s really good to have a strong set of notes and doing it with others makes a boring task not so boring  ;D

Flash cards are always good! Write the big dot point on the front and the rest on the back :)

Hi,

For Improving Performance, does anyone need to know if we only learn 2 training types, or do we cover all of them? This is for the first part of the syllabus under 'How do athletes train for improved performance?'

Thanks!
