In preparation for the exam, I am going to be setting myself a personal goal of completing an hours revision each and every day until the exam, mainly to memorize the 20 topics that I can link in / talk about in the exam. I will do this by going back through the lesson slides and using my blog as a revision guide, furthermore any topics I am struggling with, I will mind map to have a further understanding of other topics that may link into each other.
TOPICS:
1.The production Pipeline – 9
2.Target Audience – 7
3.Market Research – 5
4.Monetisation Models – 9
5.Project Financing – 8
6.Immersion – 10
7.Sound – 10
8.What makes a game successful beyond core gameplay – 7
9.Pitching – 10
10.Game Genres and trends – 9
11.Pressure points and cashflow – 7
12.Product lifespan – 9
13.Job roles and Hierarchies – 9
14.World Building – 7
15.Production management (Agile and Scrum) – 8
16.Ethical issues – 8
17.Legal issues – 8

The way I have ranked these topics are areas that I am super-strong in and can easily roll off the top of my head answers in relation to these topics. Neutral topics are topics I am comfortable with but wouldn’t hurt to look deeper into or revise for more. Weakness is the topics that I am struggling with and it just so happens today that when it came to market research I blanked for an answer, it was hard to define.
When it comes to ranking the topics out of 10, I am fairly confident in myself however that I have a wide variety of knowledge in most areas so I didn’t score myself too low. I try to use the PEE method when writing so I make a point and evidence it, then go for an explanation but I need to expand on this start to look at linking topics together and how each topic may affect one another.
I am going to look over the Neutral and Weakness topics by using standard revision practices and also look into mind maps for these topics as well. Mind maps are useful for revision as it allows you to break down the structure of a topic. I can then also look into linking each topic into other topics and how they can relate to one another.
