How is TASC Media Production (MED315117) externally assessed?

External assessment comprises a two-hour written examination assessing Criteria 1, 2 and 3 (Section A Journalism and Section B Advertising, each requiring one extended essay from a choice of five questions) and an externally assessed folio in a specialised field (Radio, Screen/Television, or Print) assessing Criteria 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7. Providers also rate course criteria internally. The final award (EA through LA, including HA, CA, SA and PA) is determined from the combined ratings using the algorithm in the course document.

What is the format adaptation disclosure for this practice bank?

Official MED315117 external assessment is a written exam plus externally assessed folio — not a multiple-choice exam. This 100-question bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation designed to reinforce course knowledge, media analysis, production processes, narrative codes, audience awareness, ethics, post-production skills, and assessment rubric awareness. It does not replace required writing, folio, practical production, or presentation preparation.

What must the MED315117 folio include?

The folio comprises one major product from the Narrative unit (with a 700–1000 word pro-forma and support documentation) and two minor products (one from Journalism and one from Advertising), reflecting a Radio, Screen/Television, or Print specialisation. Students must create their own products; professional industry personnel cannot produce the work for them. If a folio is not submitted, a student can achieve no more than Preliminary Achievement (PA).

When is the 2026 MED315117 folio due and when is the written exam?

For 2026, Media Production (MED315117) folio work is due to TASC by Friday 23 October (schools set earlier internal deadlines for TRACS verification). The 2026 written exam period is Monday 9 November to Thursday 19 November; the MED315117 paper is two hours plus 15-minute preparation.

What units does Media Production Level 3 cover?

The course requires four compulsory units: Journalism, Advertising, Narrative, and Production. Written external assessment focuses on Journalism and Advertising analysis; the folio draws on Narrative (major) plus Journalism and Advertising (minors) within a media specialisation.
