Media studies was so tedious. Apparently they change the topic every year and we got print advertisements so we had to look for hidden meanings and bs

Lol did you have to do a storyboard in the exam?

God, yes I hated that

I actually ran out of time in my Media GCSE, if I remember correctly. I think that was my worst exam.

I did hardly any prep for it, as it was one of my last exams so by that point I just couldn't be arsed with GCSE's anymore as I just wanted it to be over, which I ended up regretting.

We also needed to bring colouring pencils and I was anxious at the timing so my colouring was awful and outside the lines and other people were doing the same and you could hear pencils dropping and the nib of the pencils on the tables, it was awful. Then when I finished the storyboard, the invigilator said 5 minutes left, and I still had one more question to do (the questions were worth 25 marks each), I was like oh crap. I managed to do a bit of it before time ran out. In the end, I got a B in GCSE Media. No doubt the coursework helped, as my coursework was great, and it was worth like 60% of our overall grade whereas the exam was 40%. I think I got a D in the actual exam

We didn't have to colour in ours.
Controlled assessments and coursework will no doubt be my grade savers

Media Coursework was so dull. It was all analysing. I remember it being split into 3 assignments. I think the 3rd assignment was the best as that involved practical work, and it was the biggest.

If you're good at English, you'll find it easy, which I did, but it was soo long.

It was pretty easy tbh
I think I got an A in all of my coursework in all of my subjects which wasn't hard as in some subjects the teachers gave you whole paragraphs to put in to boost your grade.
