Thoughts on the paper?

 

[guyguy12324]

I think this is the hardest paper in recent years. I’m still unsure about the first question, which includes the text ‘lv’ next to the vibraphone and asks for an explanation of its meaning.

It means let vibrate. To do it u have to use a sustain pedal. I wrote sustain pedal so idk if i'll get the mark

that was the easiest shit ever
melodic was amaxing
last question only required 1 extra piece
was bloody awesome

dictation was eh for me but whatever

btw what do you guys think the raw mark should be for the state rank, maybe like 98+?

it was far and away the easiest exam from the last 5 years, the let vibrate question was not as difficult as it could have been as you could deduce it from listening and you didn't need to state the exact name of technique

wouldnt be surprised if a lot of ppl get such high raws this year, especially if they paid for their comp

 

[saltedparsley]

mu2 marks are always insanely high, ik of someone who got 98 one year and pretty sure they didn't sr

Yeah I was really happy with my music ext performances. I got an encore nomination so I would assume that means I did pretty well
