How to use these papers
Before you start. Work out which questions are recall and which ask you to justify a decision. The justification questions are where the marks concentrate, and they are hardest to revise for by reading.
While you work. Name the specific material, technique or component rather than describing it. Marks go to the precise term, and a description that avoids the word rarely gets there.
Marking it afterwards. Mark schemes accept a range of valid answers here, so check whether yours is on the list before deciding you were wrong. If it is not, work out what made the listed ones acceptable.
Warm up first. AoS1 Base Vocabulary: Tempo, Rhythm and Dynamics is the shortest activity here, so it is the quickest way back into Music before you open a paper.
