Here's a list of questions and answers specifically related to working during the C19 pandemic.
I am totally lost and I have forgotten everything we've ever done in media. Where do I even start revising?
First of all, remember that these are extremely stressful times, and absolutely everyone is in the same boat. It is normal to be stressed out and to feel lost, even when we're not in the middle of a pandemic.
When starting something huge, it's best to start off small. I recommend starting by clicking right here to access 'the cheat sheet' which has five bullet point facts for literally every question which could come up. Read through it, and you'll be surprised by how much you actually remember.
There, you've just started your revision. And you feel a little better!
Why are we bothering with exams when they've been cancelled?
While it seems that exams will not be going ahead for A-level students this year (2021), you will still be assessed. This is really important to understand. Your teacher will need to make a judgement about you, and will need to back this up with as much information as possible.
What can I do to improve my chances of getting the best possible grade?
I will give you the exact same advice I would give to any A-level student wanting to improve in the run-up to exams: complete additional past paper exam questions and submit them to your teacher.
How important is coursework this year?
VERY. While we don't know exactly what is happening with the submission of coursework, it really doesn't matter: coursework is extremely important to you lot. Make sure you get it completed to the highest possible standard, where possible, and make sure to complete the cover sheet and the Aims and Intentions essay as fully as possible.
What is our center number?

What's the best way of getting in contact with my teacher?
Email, please. Teams has a message function, but we check our email more, and emails are way easier to respond to. Always email. Cheers.
