When ordering student workbooks, please specify which exam board you require.

Teachers` Packs contain the worksheets, CD tracks and mark schemes for all three boards.

Although each board uses different Areas of Study, the actual aural skills required are very similar. It is certainly possible to use selected exercises from the `other` exam boards to good effect.

This applies even to EDEXCEL candidates, despite the use of specified set works . . . it surely can`t be feasible  to expect students to memorise every cadence in (say) the Mozart No 40 . . . candidates will need the skills to be able recognise cadences aurally.

There are twenty-four sets of questions for each exam board, based on the new specifications and presented in the formats used by the boards in their specimen papers. The questions are on the whole more demanding than Book 1 and would be suitable for use with year 11 pupils.

    The Index page from the AQA section (please scroll down for EDEXCEL and OCR). All five Areas of Study are covered and all questions are related to one of the three `strands`. (Note also that you will need to obtain your own copy of one track: `Money` by Pink Floyd, as we were not able to secure permissions.)               

    The Index page from the EDEXCEL section. Please note that it has not been possible to secure copyright permissions for all tracks. You will need to use your own copies of Capercaillie, Moby, Buckley and Koko. Exact track timings for these questions are included in the Teachers` Pack or you might prefer to use the `official` EDEXCEL recordings for all questions. (Note that Section B questions do not require CD tracks.)

   The Index page from the OCR section. All three relevant Areas of Study (2, 3 and 4) are covered and all questions are related to the genres specified in the new syllabus.

        Two sample AQA exercises.

The format of the questions is based closely on the AQA Specimen Paper.
