<p>I personally thought that the AP Music Theory exam today was really difficult, although the sight-singing wasn't too bad. I got owned on dictations and some parts of the multiple choice, especially the parts dealing with aural stimulus. Man... I think I failed the AP Music Theory exam... on my birthday! I'm so depressed right now. Right after that AP test, I had to go straight to an IB exam for Geography SL... talk about one of the worst birthdays ever. Oh, by the way, I give the AP MT exam a 8, with 1 being the easiest and 10 being the most difficult. I have a feeling that the exam could have been worse.</p>
<p>Its my brithday today too!!! Thats so weird. Anyway, i felt the multiple choice was easier than the released exams, for some reason, ESPECIALLY nonaural. I think i got all of those right. FR was pretty hard for me, even composition. I would get stuck frequently. I felt the dictations were rather quick as well. Sight singing wasnt too bad, but i messed up at least once on each. Wasnt THAT bad, i guess, but i dont think i did that well. Heres hoping for a 3! On a scale of 1-10... i agree with 8. MC wasnt that bad...</p>
<p>Wow... it's your birthday, too?! Happy birthday to both of us, and I hope both of us get 3s!</p>
<p>Whoo! Go May 9ers! Go 3s! Lets hope for the best!</p>
<p>I think it was horribly hard. I messed up on the second sight singing, the first dictation, and pretty much the first section of Multiple Choice.
I probably got a 3.</p>
<p>from 1-10, probably an 8 also.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure I owned the figured bass and Roman numeral realizations, but I have NO idea for anything else. =\ July is a long way away.</p>
<p>The second sightsinging was pretty challenging. It required so much thought while doing it (for me anyway). I even screwed up on the first one, which was easy (theoretically). SHows how well i can sight sing. Section 1, part A wasnt as bad as a i thought. I could actually follow the examples, and i mean all of them. They usually go insanely fast, esp. the error detection. Error detection wasnt that bad either, but i left one blank.</p>
<p>Yeah... I hate those accidentals... argh!</p>
<p>accidentals=evil... large ranges=evil. I couldnt get all the way up there in the first one...</p>
<p>MC: 5/10.. depending on how much vocab you covered... I thought it was easy
Melodic Dictation: 9/10 I thought these were pretty hard...
Harmonic Dictation: 6/10 I found these easy enough
Part writing: 3/10 ... Simple
Sight Singing: 8/10 Range screwed me up.</p>
<p>5 on MC? 7 maybe... i questioned a lot of things on the aural section. Non aural was a 2... possible 1. Ridiculously easy.</p>
<p>This is really annoying me... i cant stop singing the sight-singing exercises... its really annoying... they were rather nice though. Difficulty= 8</p>
<p>MC 7/10. The aural was pretty hard. Non-aural was pretty nice.
Melodic: 7/10. I think I got the 1st one, but the 2nd one I had some issues with hearing the intervals.
Harmonic: 9/10. I have never been able to hear chords because I am a melody player. Just goes with the territory.
Part Writing: 4/10. Lots of places to make errors but I didn't have any glaring errors like parallels or unresolved leading tones.
Sight Singing: 8/10. I think I messed up something when I was listening to it just to make sure it recorded. #2 was really difficult.</p>
<p>i kinda want to take music theory,but i'm afraid that i'm going to bomb it.........i'm really bad at theory......</p>
<p>you should take it, no doubt. its a fun and good class; however, it involves a lot of dedication on your part to work on the aural section.</p>
<p>Definitely, and unfortunately, I had (and still have) a first year teacher who did not seriously prep my music theory class until the final two weeks. And even then, she just gave my class a one-page study guide and told us to study on our own. :(</p>
