A recording of the compositions or extracts will be played once to candidates at the beginning of the examination; candidates will be permitted to annotate their scores while listening. In the second section, compositions or extracts from compositions from the period not represented in the first section will be provided for analysis. The compositions or extracts examined in the second section will be drawn from a repertoire prescribed by the Faculty Board at the beginning of the academical year in which the examination takes place. Candidates will be required to answer two questions, one from each section.
