Practice Theory Assessments

Practice Theory Assessments - Canada

Candidates may submit practice examination papers to be marked by a member of The Royal Conservatory’s College of Examiners, and receive feedback to aid in their preparation for written examinations. The results and examiner's comments are for your reference only and should be used as tools for review and improvement, and will not count toward your official examination mark.

Practice papers submitted for assessment MUST be taken from an Official Examination Papers book (2018 to 2021 Editions). Assessments do not necessarily reflect your potential performance on a theory examination under normal examination conditions

Practice Assessments for the following written examination subjects, from the following RCM publications, may be submitted.

Candidates will receive their assessed paper by mail 3 – 4 weeks after the date of the submission. Candidates will receive a mark and brief comments on their assessed practice paper.

November/December Deadline: October 17, 2022
