Music GCSE eduqas tips

Hello guys!

First of all, well done to everyone in the harsh 6 weeks of GCSE. We are in the final 3 days!!!

I do music GCSE EDUQAS and I wonder how people revise.
I have already revised the terms and set pieces and I am about to start practicing exam questions on my CGP and eduqas official website. How do you guy revise for it?

praying that the grade boundaries go down bc ive seen at one point the gap was -5🙏🙏 the annoying thing about music gcse is that people who take it either take it as a filler and they dont care abt the result or theyve had a long experience in music since childhood or smt so their results are insanely high, so the grades boundaries are always deadly😭

frrrrr but i hope it being towards the end means that lots of ppl will just kind of give up (like i did…) and we will have reasonable grade boundaries . i hate all music teachers tho
