Revision: MEST1 exam re-sit

Your MEST1 exam re-sit is on Thursday 18 May at 9.00am.

You need to be revising EVERYTHING you've learned in Media over TWO years - that should give you loads of confidence going in to this exam! 

These PowerPoints from Year 12 Media this year may also help you:

Film Language unit

MIGRAIN Introduction to Media unit

MEST1 Section B - British Film Industry / Ill Manors / A Field In England unit

There's also plenty of other revision you need to be doing:

Check your old MEST1 Section B index and revise all the work you've done on Ill Manors, A Field In England and your completed independent case study.

There are MEST1 Section B past questions to revise, plan and practice here.

This is a revision PowerPoint summarising key theories and terminology for the MEST1 exam. 

One of the key lessons from last year's exam was the quality of notetaking and whether students made specific reference to the clip using media terminology and textual analysis skills. The Examiner's Report from last summer's exam contains more details on this. You also need to be writing enough for each question in Section A: a minimum of THREE well-developed paragraphs for EACH question in Section A. 

Finally, remember the most important thing for BOTH Section A and Section B:

READ AND ANSWER THE QUESTION!

Good luck with your revision - you will do SO much better with another year of Media behind you and remember that all the theories and examples we've learned in Year 13 can be used in the MEST1 exam if relevant. Good luck!
