End of Year 1 exam: Learner response

The End of Year 1 Exam was a great opportunity to take on a full 90 minute GCSE Media exam in the format we will be facing next year.

It's important to remember that we are not expecting you to reach your target grade in this particular exam. If you do, that's brilliant - but it probably means you need a higher target grade! As ever, the most important aspect is that you learn from this experience and get better as a result.

GCSE Media - End of year 1 exam: Learner response

Create a new blogpost on your Media blog called 'End of Year 1 exam learner response' and work through the following tasks:

1) Type up your feedback in full (you do not need to write mark/grade if you do not wish to).

2) Write down how many marks you got for each question against the total number of marks available:
  • Q1: 0/1 mark
  • Q2: 0/1 mark
  • Q3: 0/12 marks
  • Q4: 0/8 marks
  • Q5: 0/12 marks
  • Q6: 0/2 marks
  • Q7: 0/6 marks
  • Q8: 0/2 marks
  • Q9: 0/20 marks
  • Q10: 0/20 marks

3) Section B requires you to write extended essays with approximately 20 minutes and 4-5 well-developed paragraphs per question (excluding introduction and conclusion). Count the number of paragraphs you wrote for each exam question in Section B excluding your introduction/conclusion:
  • Q9 number of paragraphs: 
  • Q10 number of paragraphs: 
4) Question 9 was on role models in video games. Read the indicative content (suggested answers) for Question 9 and look at any points you missed out on. Write a new well-developed paragraph that answers the question referring to Lara Croft Go and Kim Kardashian: Hollywood.

5) Question 10 was on Zoella and how audiences can create celebrities in the modern media industry. Read the indicative content (suggested answers) for Question 10 and look at any points you missed out on. Write a new well-developed paragraph that answers the question referring specifically to aspects from the Zoella Close Study Product case study.

You need to complete this learner response before you leave the lesson.
