GCSE Media Studies Year 1: Learner Response

1) Are you happy with your End of Year 1 exam results?

I'm not happy with my end of year 1 exam results, i feel like i could have done better.

2) Why? Explain how you felt the exams went and your reaction to the results.

When i saw my results for paper one i wasn't really surprised, but that's because I don't revise and usually get low score for that. As soon as i saw paper two i was kind of surprised because i didn't expect to get that grade.

3) What do you feel are your strongest and weakest topic areas from what we've studied so far (e.g. Magazines, TV, Advertising etc.) Explain why.

I feel like my weakest topic in Media is Television, this is because on my test for television (paper 2) i got a low score and i didn't expect to get that low .

4) What will you do differently for the next set of mock exams in November/December?

For my next set of mock exams in December, i will revise my media terminology because i'm failing in that section when it comes to media. When i get my terminology correct I should be getting good grades for Media.

5) What grade do you hope to achieve in GCSE Media Studies this time next year?

By the end of my actual media coarse i want to try to aim to achieve for a grade 5 or above.
