I most definitely think so. The melodic dictation was pretty easy (although I admit I probably stuffed up the counting a bit in one bar). The essay question was simply pure bliss: "...choose TWO concepts of your own choice..."sarahruth said:Easier than previous papers or....
Amps said:"Decidé, modéré, un peu vif'. French. "Deliberately, at a moderate tempo, a little lively'
lol damn. I put "Decisively, constant and with tension". Seems like everyone got it except merosa.gollan said:"décidé, modéré, un peu vif."
Sorry we cant all speak french board of studies... unfortunately i think i translated it literally whihc is: 'decided, moderated and a little lively'
but that was such a subjective response!!!
lol. I had excellent timing. After the melodic dictation, I was just wizzing through the paper. By the time the recording was mid through question 2, I was doing question 3, and by the time the recording was up to question 3, I was doing question 4 lol.steban said:and like, was it jsut me, or did people feel the harder questions that needed more time...were given no time...?
like, past papers, there was a suppper long, slow excerpt, PLUS like 5 mins to answer the question that was worth 3 marks or sumthin.
This year nearly everything was given 2 mins for an answer....wayyy not enough time.
Yeah, music 2 is pretty good. It's too bad your school doesn't offer it, but why not? Teacher overload?JustinM23 said:Only did Music 1. But Music 2 seems so much more interesting, from what I've read. If only my school offered Music 2, I would have learn so much more about music.
He went ahead (same with me) i.e. try to answer the question as though the recording is going to be played ONCE or TWICE only. Therefore, by the time he got up to question 4, the cd was probably playing the first excerpt from question 3.nty said:How did you get 45 mins?
qft - I only listen to melody dictation and then complete the rest of the paper on my own. especially since the scores in this paper were so easily readable, i really didnt need the audio (i'm so pretentious).sparkerasp said:He went ahead (same with me) i.e. try to answer the question as though the recording is going to be played ONCE or TWICE only.

Seriously, the CD was only necessary for the melodic dictation question this year, you could basically have ignored the CD after you finished the melodic dictation.
YAY!jasonml said:might increase the scaling this year as well
