3Before the exam

Before you walk in

Bring clear, unmarked copies of all your scores for the examiners: the syllabus says candidates must provide them. Every work must be on the AMEB list for your sitting year. The whole exam is booked for 50 minutes: you play first, then the examiners ask about your pieces with the score open in front of them.
