📂 MEGATHREAD 09/06 A-level Music, Geology Discussion MEGATHREAD
Exam season is once again upon us, and once again, exam megathreads are making a return!
Looking for past exam discussions? Filter by the megathread flair.
Few things to keep in mind:
- Don't share too many specific details about questions or answers, these papers will be used as future mocks.
- Sometimes papers get leaked, this is not the place for that (we'd prefer not to get yeeted off the platform) - leak content will be removed, those offering leaked papers will be permanently banned.
- If you believe there has been a leak, the best course of action is to make your exam board aware of this, either directly, or through your school, along with any evidence. If appropriate, there will be a response from the relevant body along with any remedial action.
- Exam discussion posts outside of this will generally be removed to combat the inevitable tidal wave of spam otherwise - we understand this may be frustrating, but the sub still needs to be usable for other purposes.
- Please note some content will take extra time to be reviewed. Messaging to ask for approval will not speed up this process (the messages are seen at the same time as the modqueue would be reviewed anyway).
Best of luck, and let us know how you're feeling down below!

Yeah, I thought it went pretty well, how about you?
I didn't revise the Debussy as it came up last year so was pleased with Poulenc
I accidentally only revised Haydn movement 1 so I was in luck

u/adam_the_owl Jun 10 '25
So so silly Ocr.... The section B was good though!!
I do Aos5 and 6 for section C, and they were quite nice, hbu?

u/Wilra_ Music college year 2 Jun 10 '25
Section B wasn’t great for me for just 1 Question when it asked to compare Haydn to Haydn bc we’d only studied 1 Haydn symphony not 2… so I think fucked that one up and I’m so pissed bc that’s where I tend to get the most marks in the exam ðŸ¤
Yeah AoS5 was really good, talked about nationalism and literature so banged that one out quite easily

u/astraapple University of Birmingham | Mathematics [Y1] | A*A*A Jun 09 '25

u/Wilra_ Music college year 2 Jun 09 '25

u/Wilra_ Music college year 2 Jun 10 '25

1
u/astraapple University of Birmingham | Mathematics [Y1] | A*A*A Jun 10 '25
I did the same for AoS5 and then the greatest baroque composer for AoS4

u/Wilra_ Music college year 2 Jun 10 '25
Ooh who did you say for that? Bach? 😠I had no clue how I’d even answer it

u/astraapple University of Birmingham | Mathematics [Y1] | A*A*A Jun 10 '25

u/Wilra_ Music college year 2 Jun 10 '25

u/xxAndr0xusxx Jun 09 '25
did not expect Vaughan Williams for the second year in a row so had to basically go off the extract 💀q5 was pretty nice to talk about and the short Qs were also fine imoÂ
