Frequently Asked Questions
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.
