    Edexcel AS Music Technology Listening Exam 28/5/12
    Think there are a couple of Music Tech students on here, and it's been over 24 hours - how did you find the listening exam?

    Personally, I thought it was great! The only thing that really threw me was the stuff about sampling rates and bit depths. That, and saying Get On Your Feet was part Flamenco... :s

    Was more difficult than any of the past papers I did beforehand, some of the questions were stuff that pretty much nobody would have known? I was left with emotional scarring after finishing early and listening to Pebble in my Shoe for 45 minutes. Worst of my A Level exams and I expected it to be the easiest!

    I think they were looking for Latin American. Gloria was used as an example of Latino Pop a couple of years ago.

    I thought the exam was alright, a few pebbles in the shoe questions though.

    I was wondering if anyone remembered one of the songs - not the punk rock, dance, Ella Fitzgerald, World Music or step into my office but the other one. Realllllly has slipped my mind.

    Get On Your Feet
    Step Into My Office Baby
    (There's) Always Something There To Remind Me
    Got A Pebble In My Shoe
    Carcass
    Crystal Clear

    That was everything on our exam - I guess you meant (There's) Always Something There To Remind Me, but I thought I'd list them all just in case. :P

    I don't suppose there's any kind of unofficial mark scheme for this paper?
