Updated SAM for GCSE Media Studies

For copyright reasons, we have updated the sample assessment materials (SAM) for Music and news (J200/02):

• We have replaced Extract 3 in the sample insert with new online articles from the Observer (Extracts 3, 4 and 5).
• We have amended the wording of questions 8, 9 and 10 accordingly to reflect the use of these new extracts – we've also amended the mark scheme.

Extracts 1 and 2 remain the same, as do all the other questions in the sample paper and the respective mark schemes.

You can view and download the updated sample assessment material (version 2.0) from the Assessment section of the GCSE Media Studies qualification page.

If you have any queries about this update, please call our Customer Support Centre on 01223 553998 or email us at media@ocr.org.uk.
