<p>Will a prep book, along with an extensive [12.5 years] musical background and perfect pitch, suffice? I already know basic music theory, of course, but I don't know many of the specific terms tested, and I've never had to compose a short left hand part to accompany a melody, as you need to in the exam. Will a prep book remedy these shortcomings and be enough to get a 5?</p>
<p>bump… i know it hasn’t been long, but I need to decide fast</p>
<p>bump…</p>
<p>Have you tried the sample questions in the course description? </p>

<p>Yes, i have. i didn’t know many of the terms however and i don’t know how to write a bass line. i’m sure the terms can be remedied with studying, however will a practice book teach me how to do things like accompany a melody w/a bass line?</p>
<p>I could not answer you question. My daughter has past ABRSM Music Theory grade 5 with distinction. When she looked at the APMT, she said for the non-aural part, she can just review what she learned when preparing ABRSM, then she could handle.</p>
<p>I heard lots people use Barron’s AP Music Theory to prepare APMT.</p>
<p>May I ask: when you did those sample test in College Board, how well you did them? About how much percent of those questions, you can correctly answer?</p>
<p>i missed around half i think just because i didn’t know the terms</p>
<p>“terms” should be the eastest part to prepare.</p>
