December Mock Exam: Learner Response

 1) Type up any feedback on your paper (you don't need to write the mark and grade if you want to keep this confidential). If you only have marks and a grade on the paper, write a WWW/EBI yourself based on your scores.

WWW- This is significant progress on previous assessments (up 21%) and would be even higher with a couple of elements of exam technique. Plenty to build on here, well done!

EBI- The key aspect is question focus : reading and sticking to the question. Then you want to add more depth and examples to your essay answers.


2) Use the mark scheme for this Paper 2 mock to read the answers AQA were looking for. First, write down a definition and example of non-diegetic sound (Q1.1 and 1.2). 

All sounds generated within the world of the drama. 
When Lyra says "So youre a kitchen boy then?"

3) Next, identify three points you could have made in Q1.3 - camerawork and the extract. Look for the indicative content in the mark scheme - these are the suggested answers from AQA.


4) Now look at Q1.4 in the mark scheme - pick out two points from the mark scheme that you could have included in your answer.

5) Focus on Q2 - the 20-mark essay on representations of age and social and cultural contexts. Pick out three points from the mark scheme that you didn't include in your answer.

6) Turning your attention to Section B, write a definition and example of user-generated content - use the mark scheme to check it.

7) Look at Q4 - the 20-mark essay on the power of influencers. Pick out three points from the mark scheme that you didn't include in your own answer. 

8) Now look at Q5 - the 20-mark essay on regulation and the internet. Again, pick out three points from the mark scheme that you didn't include in your own answer.

9) On a scale of 1-10 (1 = low, 10 = high), how much revision and preparation did you do for your Media mock exam? Be honest here - it's a good chance to think about how to approach the next set of mock exams.

10) List three key things you want to revise before the next mock exams in February (e.g. particular CSPs, terminology, exam technique etc.)

January assessment learner response

  1) Type up your feedback in  full  (you don't need to write the mark and grade if you want to keep this confidential). WWW- This is a good lesson in the demands of GCSE exams in terms of knowledge and exam technique. Your Q6 essay starts well and shows an understanding  of the texts but now we need to add consistency and depth. EBI- Revise industry and audience terminology and theory: you cannot leave an 8-mark question blank like Q3. For Q6, the knowledge of the CSPs is solid but you need more focus on the media debate in the question for the top levels. 2) Read  the mark scheme for this assessment  carefully (you'll need your Greenford Google login to access this).    Write down the mark you achieved for each question: Q1: 1 mark Q2: 0 marks Q3: 0 marks Q4: 0 marks Q5: 2 marks Q6: 7 marks I shouldve revised more Media terminology and revised on the mark scheme and how things work in a test. 3) Look specifically at  question 3  - did you successfully write about both the  pr
