All questions are marked out of 12.

There are a couple of different types of questions

1. Filling in the blanks (melody and rhythm) and adding onto a score – pupils can listen 4 times to these questions, with a minute preparation time, 30 seconds in between playings and 3 minutes completion time at the end.

2. Extended answer – pupils can listen 3 times with a 30 second gap in between playings and 6 minutes completion time at the end.

3. General musicianship questions – pupils can listen 3 times to these questions with a 30 second pause between playings and 2 minutes completion time at the end.

Please note that the answers to the extended writing questions are NOT exhaustive. All reasonable answers should be considered, so please use your professional judgement.
