Hoping for those 40 UMS marks to get an A overall

Basically we had about 5 lessons on the listening exams throughout the whole course, our teacher has changed 3 times and most of the lessons were done by an assistant who was a P.E. teacher :smile:

Sooo yeah, and I also thought I could revise by doing past papers but apparently no, have to contact AQA for the CD :awesome:

Last year I got an E, then I somehow managed to get a B - mind you, it was the exact same exam..
I hope I've made you feel better about your mark :P

Have you got any resources/questions where there are actual musical excerpts along with questions? The only thing I've managed to find is a bunch of definitions, memorised most of them but now I only have to pick them out from the music excerpts.. http://quizlet.com/5355863/flashcards

Would appreciate it if you could link some questions/yt videos/mock papers or whatever.

I have some CDs which I can email to you if you like. (Private message?)

Did you do your course over one or two years?

That would be great. I'll PM you my e-mail.

2 Year course for everyone else, but 1 year for me, as I dropped French to do Music. Couldn't stand both spanish and french with the same teacher.

A good website to practice listening is Teoria.com, it has listening tests where you identify rhythms, intervals etc.
