"Edusites Media has revolutionized my teaching, providing me with detailed, ready-to-use lesson plans that make my classes more engaging and effective." "The exam preparation materials have been a game-changer for my students, helping them to approach their exams with confidence and achieve higher grades." "I love how Edusites Media saves me time with comprehensive resources that cover every aspect of the curriculum, allowing me to focus more on my students' learning." "The diverse range of resources, from theory guides to practical production tasks, keeps my students motivated and excited about Media Studies every day."
Although the 2020 and 2021 A Level examination had been displaced, the next ‘for real’ terminal assessments now being the Summer 2022 series, there is – as they say – no time like the present for making a start on embedding in working practices the key skills for ensuring examination success.
There are still issues to be resolved – the most pressing being how we make up the lost ground of months of work for the 2022 cohort. There has been some suggestion that QCA may direct exam boards to outline a ‘reduced’ specification or a restricted number of tasks based on the Set Products, possibly even reducing the number of Set Products to be covered. How this would work when centres do not study the same product at the same time, I leave to those in the position to make such decisions.
What we do know, is that terminal examination assessment there will be.

I was commissioned to author and present online INSET material for AQA on Effective Examination Preparation for the 2020s Series – something that went ahead despite there being no examination in 2020 or 2021. The reason being that AQA consider the material to possess validity and relevance beyond 2020, applying to all future A Level Media examination. As such, I thought it might be useful to share some of those ideas/strategies I see applying across all three boards. Having authored the Edusites A Level lessons for the AQA, EDUQAS and OCR specifications involving writing some 700 distinct lessons, I’m probably in an ideal position to tie in approaches that are consistent across all three of the examination series.
