FAQs

What is the main difference between the online simulation and the paper?

The instructions state that the display methods for multiple-choice questions and the exam system are slightly different on paper. The interval questions from Q32 to Q35 cannot be displayed on the paper, while the online simulation can be used for those.

How do transposition questions work in the mock paper?

One task explains that a bar is transposed down a major 2nd to reach sounding pitch for clarinet in B flat. Students then select the key signature and determine whether each note is correct or incorrect.
