Exam Evaluation!

What did you study the most for?

I studied most for representations since it was the topic I was least prepared for. I also read over my notes for genre to make sure I knew directors, release dates etc and to sort out what I would be writing about.

Did you feel prepared?

I definitely felt prepared for representations and I had a pretty clear idea what I was going to write about for both papers; also I studied enough to fill out two essays (I hope) which is pretty prepared for me.

What can I do to help you become more confident and succeed on the final exams?

Maybe work a little more on representations (especially since I missed about a week because I was sick and so didn't get to study it as much in class before the mocks.)

How much time did you spend on each essay?

I split the time fairly evenly between both papers so I probably spent about an hour and a half on each, maybe a little less since I had about fifteen minutes left at the end to proofread.

If you finished early, did you go back and check that you had answered the question and written as much as you possibly could have?

Yes.

Did you make sure that you referenced key words from the topic in your answer?

I hope so, I can't remember but I usually rephrase questions into my essays.

Did you memorise key quotes from the worksheets, experts and films to use as examples?

I don't think I used any quotes per se... something to work on for the externals.

And finally, what will you do to make sure that you are even more prepared for the final exams?

Rewatch films for genre study, read my notes again more thoroughly so I can memorize quotes, and statistics for representations.
