Your exam will be a mini-version of the real Paper 2 exam you'll do next summer. Your exact date will depend on the timetable - your teacher will be able to tell you when the exam will run.
Below is a full guide to what you need to revise for Paper 2:
Paper 2
Paper 2 Section A is Television - our first in-depth topic.
Section A: Television
- Short extract from either Doctor Who – An Unearthly Child (1963) or His Dark Materials – The City of Magpies (2020). Google Drive folder with CSP videos here for revision or you can watch on iPlayer.
- 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.
Your real Paper 2 will also have a Section B with two 20-mark essays on either Newspapers, Videogames or Online, Social and Participatory Media. However, these will not appear in your end of year exam as we have not studied them yet.
Paper 1 assessment?
You will have a half-sized version of Paper 1 as your September assessment in Year 11. More details on that nearer the time!
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 always have flash cards in DF07 if you'd like some - just pop in and ask!
Good luck with your revision and give the exam your best shot!
