Class 2: Pre-Test

Today, you will be taking a pre-test so we can see what you know about music's history, theory, and genres.

Things to know and keep in mind:

Don't worry! If you don't know anything yet, that's ok. Just guess on the questions you don't know.
The test grade will be used to chart your growth in the class as we'll take a similar test at the end of the year.
Your pre-test grade will not affect your grade in the class so there is no point in cheating or worrying if you get a low score.
You will receive a participation grade if you complete the pre-test.

How to take the test:

From the Google Classroom assignment there should be a link.

Click on the link
Enter the requested information in Section 1 (name, pronoun, something you want to learn in this class).
Once you have entered the information hit the "Next" tab at the bottom.

Section II

This section is all multiple choice.
Take your best guess on questions you don't know for sure.
I am not expecting you to know everything in the section but I would like to find out where you are at with this knowledge.
Please just make an honest guess.
If you look up the answers, I will think you know more than you do and assign you more challenging work.

Section III

For this section, you will listen to various recordings and answer questions about what you hear.
To hear the audio click on blue link.

This will open up another tab where you should be able to play the sample.
Click the play icon to hear the recording.

In some browsers, you will need to download the file to hear it.

You can click the blue box that says "Download."

If that doesn't work, go up to the right hand corner and click the downward facing arrow.

Once you have completed the last section, click "Submit."

You can view your score but don't worry if you didn't do well. It's a pre-test and you aren't expected to know any of the content.
