<p>Hi,</p>
<p>The test day is coming and I am not prepared decently at all. I self-learn AP Music Theory, and the self-tested results of practice test daunted me. I am really really scared, and in great need of these resources to improve as much as possible:</p>
<ul>
<li>Audio files of Practice Exam.</li>
<li>Answer keys to 1998 released free exam.</li>
<li>Questions, audio files, and answer keys of 2003 released exam.</li>
</ul>
<p>My email is concretevitamin@gmail, any help will be greatly appreciated. I am happy to trade with released exams of other subjects, if you're interested, please send email to let me know.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Sorry for hopping onto this thread, but I’d also appreciate any released exams. My email is <a href="mailto:huyouare@gmail.com">huyouare@gmail.com</a>
Thanks!!!</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to send the released exams, since you have to pay for them individually. Why didn’t you buy the Barron’s review book? I used it last year and it helped a lot.</p>
<p>It’s a tactical mistake. Time is not enough now.</p>
<p>Yeah the released exams are illegal to send, but at least please someone post the answer keys to 1998 Exam. THanks!</p>
<p>Have you done all twelve years’ worth of the free response that are online? Included are the theory questions, the sight singing questions, and the audio prompts.</p>
<p>Isn’t there a free downloadable practice exam on the CollegeBoard website?</p>
<p>I was in your situation last year, self-taught and feeling totally unprepared. I ended up getting a 4 on the aural subsection and a 2 on the non-aural. I probably would have done a little bit better on the second part save for the fact that I was on painkillers that week and they wore off in the middle of the exam… Yeah, that wasn’t fun. So I’m taking the class now and hoping to get a 5 on both when I take it on Monday. What grade are you? If you’re not a senior, you could probably take it again after taking the class if you don’t pass this time. Music schools won’t see your score as a bad thing if they can see that you really are trying to learn the material. Trust me, I got into all of my choices. Regardless, best of luck to you! You’ll probably do better than I did the first time. x)</p>
<p>In addition to the free downloadable practice exam on the College Board’s website, the College Board website has all of the free-response questions from 1999 to 2010 (12 years’ worth: each set of free-response questions takes 113 minutes to do, so there is plenty there!). All of these free-response sets come with solutions and commentary. There are other “practice exams” floating around on the internet, but I cannot vouch for their legality and therefore will not recommend them.</p>
<p>This has to be a ■■■■■. </p>
<p>And if not, I’m sorry… Our kids have all worked really hard prep’ing for these exams. Why wold you think we’d just give you the answers? Study or buy them yourself.</p>
<p>I would give the answers if I had them–the person requesting them has worked through questions and just wants to check their work so that they can learn from their mistakes. The request is reasonable and the requester clearly realizes that it is a last-minute request. </p>
<p>It is too late to purchase answers for anyone (and I’m not sure that the College Board sells them to just anyone). As well, it is too late to get a prep manual unless one lives in an area with a bookstore that still has copies of AP music theory prep books (the nearest possible one to me is at least 420 miles away and possibly 900 miles). The AP music theory exam is tomorrow morning. While many bookstores stock AP prep manuals for the widely written subjects, many will not stock AP music theory because there is so little demand for it.</p>
<p>One of the things that I greatly appreciate about the music part of CC is the mature and respectful tone that prevails. I think that the high percentage of parents in this part of the forum has helped to keep it that way. </p>
<p>I didn’t make it clear in my previous posts that the 12 year’s worth of free-response questions on the College Board site are all free. </p>
<p>Best of luck to all writing and singing their AP music theory exam tomorrow!</p>
