Mock Exams
I offer mock exams online for students that are preparing for an RCM or Conservatory Canada Practical Examination.
A mock exam is one of the most effective ways to feel confident and ready for the day of their exam. Many students struggle with performance nerves, uncertainty about the exam format, or how to figure out what their approximate mark might be. A mock exam allows students to experience the process in a supportive and professional setting so they can walk into their actual exam feeling prepared and self-assured.​​ It's advised to book a mock exam at least two weeks before the real exam so students have time to make improvements.
​Why Take a Mock Exam?
-
Simulate the Real Exam Experience – students will go through the full exam process, including scales, sight-reading, ear training, repertoire, and etudes, just as they would in the actual exam. This helps reduce anxiety and familiarizes them with the format.
​
-
Receive Constructive, Personalized Feedback – After their mock exam, they’ll get detailed feedback on their strengths and areas for improvement. This allows them to refine their performance and address any last-minute concerns before the real exam.
​
-
Improve Confidence – Performing under exam conditions can be nerve-wracking. A mock exam gives students the chance to practice playing in a formal setting, so they can feel more relaxed and self-assured on the actual exam day.
​
-
Identify Areas for Improvement – A mock exam can highlight specific areas that need more attention, whether it’s refining technique, improving musical expression, or working on fluency in sight-reading. This ensures students to make the most of their final preparation time.​
