Please note the specification is modified every year or two, and therefore case studies may be slightly different from year to year. If in doubt, just ask your teacher.
We have also linked to a few exemplar answers from this post. These are essential resources in visualising what a high band response looks like.

If you have any questions about the A-level media exam, please talk to your teacher.
Past A-level papers
These are either actual A-level papers or 'sample' papers published before the specification got going. These are naturally the most authentic examples you are going to find, but there's a lot less of them

Past AS level papers
AS media studies is a slightly different version of A-level media studies. It's only one year long and it covers half the content, for example only looking at one magazine, TV show, music video etc. So While these are totally authentic, you need to remember these will only give you a flavour of a full paper. If you're in any doubt, it might be best to skip these...
Past mock papers
These are centre mock papers. They take all sorts of different forms and styles, depending on when you take them. While these are excellent for practising content and for revision, do remember to pretty much ignore everything about their structure.

Revision questions
These are questions that are set in the six weeks of timetabled revision after all content has been taught. As a class, we go through them and work out everything you could possibly write... AND MORE. If anything, these questions are the most useful of all, because there's LOTS of them (41 in 2019 alone!!) and they actually tell you what to write. As a bonus, you will also find revision workshop sessions.
