Question 1

What is NCEA AS 91097 about?

Accepted Answer

This standard asks you to show you understand how well-being changes when life events happen to people, and what strategies can actually help during those times.

Well-being changes can be caused by difficult things (like illness or loss), by normal growing up, or by positive changes.

Question 4

What mistakes do students typically make in AS 91097?

Accepted Answer
