Year 7 Exam Preparation

• Like the exams taken by GCSE and A level music students, the Year 7 end of year music exam is a listening exam, during which you will be required to answer questions about musical extracts played to you by your teacher.

•  To make this possible, the exam will take place not during lower school exam week, but in your first music lesson following the half term holiday.

•  The revision notes found on this page describe the content of the exam, and how you might prepare.

• You are encouraged to use these and/or any of the other materials provided on the Tiffin Music website to prepare for the exam.

• Like GCSE and A level music grades, your end of year grade will be calculated using an average of the performing (30%) and listening exam (70%) marks which you have achieved over the course of the year.
