Practice Makes Perfect

If you’re learning music theory and are booked in to take your ABRSM theory exam then getting all the practice you can get before the real thing is essential to passing. Especially if you want to get a merit or a distinction.

The best way to prepare is by using practice exams to get used to the sort of questions that come up so that you know exactly what to expect and won’t have any nasty surprises.

To help, we’ve put together a series of practice exams that are based on the real ABRSM papers so you can practice answering all the types of questions that they’ll ask of you and ensure the best possible marks.

What do you get in our Music Theory Past Paper Packs?

Each downloadable PDF pack contains five unique practice test papers for that particular grade.

They’ve been put together by painstakingly analysing the last seven years of ABRSM past papers so they resemble as closely as possible the real exams.

That way you, your child, or students will be prepared for all the different types of questions that could come up on their exam day, plus you’ll get used to answering them within a time limit.

As well as the exams you also get all the model answers so you can mark and check them yourself and see where you’re wrong to help you analyse and improve for next time.

What Exam Syllabus are they for?

All of our resources are designed and written for the ABRSM music theory syllabus. We're currently putting together new ones for the online format of the 2021 exams too.

That being said if you’re sitting an examination with a different examining board like Trinity and Guildhall, LCM, UNISA, AMEB, or something else, they will still be useful.

However, there will be different expectations of what you’ll need to know at each grade. Make sure to review all the material that you need to know from previous grades as well.

What else do you need to know?

Our practice papers have been designed to be printed out on either A4 or US paper sizes.

Each assessment paper has between 7 and 9 questions depending on which grade you are taking.

We’ve also included all the model answers so you can mark them and see where you are going wrong. No additional purchase necessary.

You can use them again and again with other students or to just have another go.
