DDs (11 and 9) have both been doing music theory for a while and DD1 will be doing grade 3 exam in spring but DD2 is going for grade 1 next month
How can I help her prepare for it - not the content, which she is fine with, but the actual exam? She's never done a written test before (or instrumental, although she plays flute and piano) and this will be in a test centre amongst, presumably loads of other people. She's done some practice papers which were ok, but her writing is not neat and her spelling of terms etc is a bit wild. Will she be penalised for this? Her notation, conversely, is fairly good, I think.
On the one hand I'm regretting agreeing to her doing it; on the other hand, she was keen and I suppose it will be good prep for other things? She does really enjoy the lessons.
Any thoughts, much appreciated
