Thanks, Maria. Took the exam on Saturday. It was loaded with VERY specific music technology questions, and few on pedagogy. Ear training review would be useful for anyone taking this in the future, including complex, syncopated rhythms and chord progressions with different inversions. The ability to transpose band instruments quickly in an orchestral score was important, along with conducting in odd key signatures. I hope sharing this isn’t cheating, but I was thrown by the level of difficulty. Also, one needs to work through the multiple choice questions extremely quickly, to have time for the three long questions at the end. Again, thank you so much for responding!
