These Specimen Aural Tests take effect in exams from January 1st 2011.
Each book of specimen tests: supports teachers and students in preparing for the revised aural tests - provides examples of the style and difficulty level of the new tests - offers many practice examples, with answers (where appropriate) - provides the revised syllabus description of the activity and includes the examiners' rubrics (the exact words examiners use to deliver the tests in the exam) - enables the teacher to present the tests to their students in a way that mirrors the exam experience - presents a framework for teachers to devise their own exercises using materials their students are currently working on; thus emphasizing the relevance of the tests to each student's musical development - is available with or without CDs (these CD recordings include all the tests in the book - ideal for use in lessons or for pupil practice at home).
