Your December exam will be one full Paper 2 (Television and Online, Social and Participatory Media). Below is a full guide to what you need to revise for each section of the exam.
Know your exam
One of the most important aspects of preparing for examinations is knowing exactly what topics could come up and where. For your December exam, this is what will come up:
December mock exam - Wednesday 18 December
Section A: Television
- Short extract from either Doctor Who – An Unearthly Child (1963) or His Dark Materials – The City of Magpies (2020).
- The extract will be shown twice and you can make notes. There will then be three questions on the extract (2 marks, 8 marks, 12 marks).
- The final question is a 20-mark essay on BOTH of your TV Close-Study Products.
- The TV index with links to all original blogposts is here.
Section B: Online, Social and Participatory Media
- Short 2-mark question on media terminology.
- Two 20-mark essays on Online, Social and Participatory Media - celebrities/influencers Marcus Rashford and Kim Kardashian.
- This is what we're studying now and these posts can be found on the main Year 2 Media blog. For example, OSP Language and Representation is here.
Your real Paper 2 in the summer may have questions on Newspapers in Section B. However, these will not appear in your December mock exam as we have not studied the topic yet.
How to revise
Revision is a very personal thing and everyone has different techniques. Personally, I strongly recommend using flash cards (they are often called record cards if you are trying to buy them online or in WHSmiths). The simple act of distilling topics into a few key words or phrases to put on the card will seriously help in remembering the key information in the final exams. I have spare flash cards in DF07 if you'd like some. Media students in the past have created three sets of revision cards:
- Media terminology
- Media theory
- CSPs
The two topics you need to focus on particularly in December are:
- Television
- OSP - Influencers, Rashford and Kardashian
Good luck with your revision and give this mock exam your best shot!
