Vithusan Media GCSE

1) Are you happy with your End of Year 1 exam results? Yes 2) Why? Explain how you felt the exams went and your reaction to the results. I wouldn't really say I did bad or good , I did pretty average for the first year therefore I don't mind. I could tell while writing the exams that I wouldn't do as good because I spent a lot of time just thinking about what to write , thinking about ideas. 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. My weakest topic was probably Magazine as we did it earlier in the year so I wasn't able to remember as much , Strongest topic was TV because we had just finished it so I was most comfortable doing questions on it. 4)What will you do differently for the next set of mock exams in November/December? I will try and revise exam techniques . 5) What grade do you hope to achieve in GCSE Media Studies this time next year? 7
