Is AS the right thing for you?

AS media has been a major roller coaster for all students in media, however their is a positive side to it, especially the group work and the lesson in general but that could mainly be because we are like a big 'family' :).

Some advice i would give students doing AS media next year, is:
- Revise from the START of the year, don't make the same mistakes as most year 12's did.
- coursework should be done at the right time... so even though you cant be asked, that isn't a excuse- most of us are lucky we got a really good grade..
- understand and kno the key concept...they will be useful for every lesson.
- BE PREPARED for you lessons.

Dont worry, im sure AS will be FUN!!! :)
