This is the final unit in the Creative iMedia course as you must sit the exam after completing both of the coursework units. The exam unit is worth 40% of the whole course and will be sat at your chosen exam centre.
This is a written exam unit that is marked out of 70 with 48 hours of lesson & homework time with no coursework element.
The first available sitting of this exam was January 2024, but my first students to sit this was in June of 2024. The new rules on exam units means that this cannot be sat until the end of your course.
Throughout this unit, you will be given a set of lesson activities, video tutorials, and quizzes to help you learn everything that is needed for both the exam and to take Media forward to your next level at either A Level, T Level, or whatever your choice is next!
What Do Lessons Looks Like?
Below is an example of part of a recorded lesson which is an introduction to the R093 mandatory exam unit from Judith – lesson videos in this section are presented by a combination of me (Holly) and Judith who is a specialist Media Studies teacher:
As this unit includes a number of different topics which you will learn through a set of recorded lessons which are supported by downloads, quizzes, and assignments. This means that a week of study might look like this:
| Start the week | Creating Your Resources | Finish the week |
|---|---|---|
| Watch the recorded lesson video & complete “before” tasks | Update your interactive glossary (flash cards) and complete the PDF revision notes. | Complete the additional lesson tasks & quizzes |
Your exam will include a range of questions that include multiple choice, short answer, and essays. Because of this, a mock exam is included near the end of this unit which will be marked and returned to you with feedback.
As this is a fairly new version of the course, there are only a few current past papers but I have developed a set of practice questions which are similar to the available papers to use through this unit for practice before your exam.
