Long notes are boring. Brain-hack the whole 7572 specification with active recall and actually remember it.
AQA A-Level Media Studies 7572
AQA A-Level Media Studies (specification 7572) is assessed by two written papers taken at the end of the two-year course and one non-exam assessment. Media One and Media Two each last 2 hours and carry 84 marks, worth 35% each; the cross-media production carries 60 marks and is worth 30%. Media One splits the theoretical framework by section: Section A applies media language and representation to advertising and marketing and music video, and Section B applies industries and audiences to two of radio, newspapers and film (film for industries only). Media Two studies television, magazines, online, social and participatory media, and video games in depth. Products must be analysed in relation to five contexts: social, cultural, economic, political and historical. AQA reviews its close study products each year, changing the newspaper products annually and refreshing the others periodically, so this guide covers the framework, the contexts and the forms rather than any particular product.

How reviews are timed
Levo will automatically distribute all of your progress into a spaced repetition calendar. Once you’ve answered, it’s scheduled for you on the next day in the spaced repetition schedule. Over time, the gaps between your recall get bigger, from a day to three years, reinforcing memorisation over a long period of time.

Six ways to work the same material
Common questions about revising AQA A-Level Media Studies. Tap any to open it.
By testing yourself, not rereading. Active recall, pulling each answer from memory then checking it, builds far stronger memory than highlighting notes. Levo runs the method for you across all 7 Media Studies topics and brings each one back on a spaced schedule so it stays memorised.
Skip the long notes and go straight to retrieval. Levo turns the 7572 specification into short questions you drill with rapid recall, cram whole papers in one sitting, and a readiness score tells you exactly what is left to learn.
There are 7 topics, split across 83 subtopics, from Media Language, Media Representation, Media Industries and more. Every topic is listed above, and each one opens to the subtopics inside it.
Six ways to work the same material. The 3-step method for learning a set, Cram for sorting a whole paper into what you know and what you do not, Blank Blitz for making key facts automatic, Build It for assembling full-mark answers, Test It for catching misconceptions, and Brain Breaks between sessions. A readiness score tracks how much of the subject you have memorised.
Consistently, yes. Rereading feels productive but fades quickly. Retrieving an answer from memory, the way Levo tests you, is what actually forms durable memory, and it shows you honestly what you do and do not know.
Every topic on the 7572 specification is covered, written from the published subject content. The full list is above, and each topic opens to its subtopics so you can see exactly what is there before you subscribe.
Make it short, structured and low-pressure. Levo gives a clear daily plan, quick sessions rather than marathon ones, streaks that reward showing up, and an honest readiness score, so revision feels like progress instead of a chore. Parents can add an account and follow along.
Yes. Cram mode is built for exactly that: fly through a whole paper, sort every topic into red, amber and green, then drill just the reds and ambers you do not know yet. It is the honest version of a last-minute session.
Attempt a question from memory, write the correct version, then attempt it again. Levo records the jump between your first attempt and your last, and brings each question back on the day you are due to forget it.
