Grade 8 ABRSM Theory - weaknesses
I have taken the grade 8 ABRSM theory exam twice now and have failed by a couple of marks. My main weakness is question 2: completing the piano extract. Has anyone got any tips on how to complete this question or any tips in general for the whole exam.
My next weakness is the symphonic extract question, what sort of stuff did people do to get very good at answering all these questions?
Any help or opinions will be greatly appreciated!
TIA

I tackled the symphonic extract question by buying as many past papers as I could lay my hands on and working through them. Along the way, I made a list of all the subjects that the questions included (terms, transposition, history, form analysis etc.) and then spent time learning as much as I could on each of those subjects. It takes a lot of time, but it's worth it in the end. All the best with your grade 8!
