Here I have a short exam unit which is basically a mock exam for the Drama: Performance and response exam unit for the new OCR Drama GCSE, alongside a revision mat/knowledge organiser.

I have used the specimen paper that is on the OCR website to ensure that the structure and outline of this paper is correct (although the questions on this one are obviously different, so you can use both as mocks).

For each question, there are tips and guidance about how best to tackle the question to gain maximum marks, using language from the mark scheme to help students understand what is required of them for each question.

For revision, I’ve also included a GCSE revision mat, explaining each of the study areas along with suggested tasks to support further study and revision at home.

Hopefully this will be useful as we all embark on the uncharted territory that is the new Drama exam! I’ve found that my students have really appreciated the opportunity to have the questions, and the style of response required, explained to them in this manner.
