KA5 mock exam 2024



The KA5 mock exam is the first mock exam of your second year. It's designed to evaluate everything you learned over the first year. Perhaps more importantly, it's the final opportunity for teachers to assess you before submitting your final UCAS predicted grade. 

Due to the nature of the component one exam (which is what you spent the whole of first year preparing for!), we cannot tell you what is coming up. However, we can tell you the following:

The exam will be structured as follows

•             One 15 mark/30 minute unseen media language question. Anything could come up for this, print or video, you will have never seen it before, and you will have no way of knowing what it is. 

•             Two audience questions, adding up to 20 marks/20 minutes. Two of the following industries will come up: advertising, newspapers, radio, videogames. 

•             Two very short ‘define the industry key term’ questions. 4 marks/4 minutes total

Total length: 54 minutes

The KA5 week will NOT be collapsed, so the timetable will be normal, and the exam will be taken in lesson.
