Your time and careful answers

A minute a mark

Give each section about a minute a mark. Rhythm, pitch, and keys and scales have 15 marks each: about 15 minutes each. Keep about 10 minutes at the end to check every answer. If a question is taking too long, move on and come back to it.

Careful answers

The exam is marked automatically: each answer is right or not.

• Read every word of the question.
• Check the clef and the key signature, then look back along the bar.
• Count: letters for intervals, beats for bars.

When you check, count a different way the second time.

Remember

• About a minute a mark, and 10 minutes kept to check.
• Read every word. Check the clef and the key. Count.
• Check another way the second time.
