We've not had dds options booklet yet but as everyone else is asking questions I'd get mine in 
Dd is considering gcse music. How hard is it really to get an a/a*? I know it sounds like an awfully pushy question but she has high ambitions and needs really good grades.
She is pretty musical but better at theory than music exams. She does play 3 instruments. The bit she's worried about most is the listening element.
Thanks :)
