I’d say just make sure you 100% know your 30 marker case studies because then that’s a good chunk of the paper to be able to rely on. Otherwise just loaaads of aural practice which is really boring but useful😭

Examiners didn't give us manuscript paper or a CD player with timings on so we had to pause the exam 💀

horrriffic omg messed up timings so badly. i spent 1hr 30 on section C (musical theatre) but actually dont think i wrote many accurate harmony points, i spent just under an hour on B (vivaldi and brahms) and pretty much didnt answer section A apart from from random ticks or lines in the last minute. I did love the vivaldi question tho <33 but so upset that i'll have missed so many marks !!! esp bc section A is pretty much worth half of the paper. could have gone so well lol
