Links and revision resources to help you
We have a range of resources to help you prepare for your final exams.
Exemplar questions and answers
You can find a document of exemplar questions and answers from previous lessons here. This google doc will be updated as we look at more questions and sample answers in revision lessons before the exams.
CSP Knowledge Organisers
Ms Fowler has put together a brilliant set of Knowledge Organisers to revise the CSPs. Look through these and then create your own to test your knowledge!
ZigZag practice papers and mark schemes
Use your paper copies of the ZigZag practice papers and mark schemes for Paper 1 and Paper 2. This is particularly good to prepare for the unusual or left-field questions that AQA like to put in their exams sometimes. Remember, if you know the terminology, the theories and the CSPs you can't go far wrong.
If you don't have a copy of the practice papers then you can collect them from DF07.
Revision is the key
It's important that you really put the time into your revision to make sure you know these CSPs inside out. If you would like revision cards to revise with feel free to pop in to DF07 and I'll happily provide you with them for free - you need create revision cards for all the exam CSPs and also for media terminology and theory (e.g. Mise-en-scene, Reception theory, Uses & Gratifications theory etc.)
The better you know the terminology, theory and CSPs, the better you'll do in the final exams. Good luck!
