Exam revision: A2 Media March PPE

Your A2 Media mock exam is on Friday 4 March at 1pm.

This will be a complete MEST3 exam paper lasting two hours. The breakdown is as follows:

Section A: 15 minutes to study the material/watch clips and then 45 minutes to answer THREE compulsory questions.

Section B: 60 minutes to answer ONE essay question on New/Digital Media.

You need to revise the following for this exam:

  • ALL media theories, concepts and terminology we have studied across Year 12 and Year 13 - these will be required for Section A.
  • ALL of your example stories, issues and debates you have been reading and posting each week since September. Again, these will be vital for Section A of the exam (and quite possibly Section B).
  • Everything we covered in the Autumn term regarding New/Digital Media and our News case study.
  • Anything you have studied so far on your independent New/Digital Media case study.
  • Finally, look closely at your MEST3 Section B January assessment - what were the specific aspects you needed to improve? You are looking for significant progress in the upcoming exam - a minimum of 5 marks higher in Section B.
Do the work and make sure you are confident going into this exam - you have learned a HUGE amount about the media over the last 18 months and now have the opportunity to demonstrate that progress.

Good luck!
