StartingOut
Prior to Level One examinations, pianists can sit for a P Plate for Piano nongraded assessment.
Pianists in the very earliest stages of their training can undertake an assessment from any one
of the three books in this program. A certificate is awarded at the completion of each book
assessment, and musicians completing all three book assessments are also awarded a P Plate
Piano Licence.
GradeExaminations
Level One examinations cover Preliminary Grade through to Fourth Grade inclusive. Within these
grades, candidates demonstrate the fundamental and developing skills required for this subject.
Level Two examinations are incrementally more challenging and demanding. This level includes
Fifth Grade to Eighth Grade, and for many instruments is often capped with the Certificate of
Performance. From Sixth Grade through to Licentiate level, there is an additional requirement of
a pass in a written examination before the certificate or diploma is awarded. Please consult the
table on page 15.
For Leisure Syllabus examinations and CPM Syllabus examinations conclude at Level Two and
do not have any additional requirements.
DiplomaExaminations Music
Level Three examination success leads to the prestigious Associate, Licentiate and Fellowship
Diplomas. Successful candidates will have their name printed in the AMEB Manual of Syllabuses
edition for the year after they receive their diploma. Bonus points are awarded to AMEB diploma
recipients towards tertiary entrance to some universities such as the University of NSW. Please
consult individual tertiary institutions for more information.
Diploma reports are despatched from AMEB (NSW) after results and additional requirements
have been verified. Please allow two weeks from the date of examination to receive your results.
Results for all examinations are also available to teachers through the online system, AMEB
Connect. Candidates can access these results if their teacher has provided them with candidate
access (see page 4). Diploma results will not be given to anyone over the phone.
DiplomaExaminationsSpeechandDrama
Speech and Drama diplomas are awarded to candidates who demonstrate maturity, conviction
and confidence in presentation and performance which includes the ability to use advanced
technical and vocal skills.
Prerequisite requirements are in place for the ADPA and LDPA Drama and Performance
(Teacher or Performer) diplomas to ensure that candidates have achieved an appropriate level
of knowledge and skill to undertake the diplomas successfully. Teachers and candidates are
encouraged to use the stepping stone of the CVCA, Certificate of Voice and Communication
Australia, to gain knowledge and experience as a communicator before undertaking the APCA,
Associate of Professional Communication Australia diploma.
PreparingfortheAMusAPracticalExamination
The Associate Diploma is highly respected in the international music community and recognises
a sophistication of musical understanding and performance abilities that are well above the
requirements for Eighth Grade.
Teachers and candidates are actively encouraged to use the stepping stone level of the Certificate
of Performance, currently offered for Piano, Violin, Cello, Classical Guitar, Clarinet, Saxophone,
Bassoon and Singing. This examination can follow Eighth Grade, providing additional
performance experience and examiner feedback as a student's technique and interpretive skills
continue to refine and develop.
The success rate for Associate examinations is much lower than for Grade examinations. It is
therefore suggested that teachers with limited experience in presenting candidates at Diploma
level obtain advice from a more experienced teacher before entering candidates for AMusA.
Please consult the Teacher Support section of the AMEB (NSW) website
(www.ameb.nsw.edu.au) for useful Diploma preparation information.
The AMEB (NSW) Conferring of Diplomas Ceremony
Successful Associate, Licentiate and Fellowship candidates who have provided AMEB (NSW)
with evidence of their completion of any Additional Requirements will be invited to attend the
annual Conferring of Diplomas Ceremony. Candidates who successfully complete all requirements
in 2012 will be awarded their diplomas at a ceremony held on Sunday 10 March 2013.
This ceremony is a wonderful opportunity to formally recognise an artist's years of dedication
and share their achievement with peers, teachers, family and friends. Gowns and stoles are
available for hire from AMEB (NSW).
Successful candidates who are not able to be present to receive their award in person will be
admitted 'in absentia' to the diploma and the certificate will be mailed following the ceremony.

Candidate Details
The following items of information are essential for
accurate records, correctly produced documentation
(including certificates), and the computerised history
of the candidates results. If incorrect information is
received, candidates may be issued additional
candidate numbers. This may result in the delayed
release of certificates and a lack of examination
history for the candidate.
1. Candidate number
Please use the candidates number from previous
examinations. This can be found via AMEB
Connect.
If this is their first enrolment, the candidate will
be issued with a unique number. This number
should be used for all of their future written and
practical examination enrolments with AMEB
(NSW) regardless of teacher.
2. Title
Include a title (Mr, Mrs, Miss, etc) for each candidate.

13
amebnsw
3. Candidate given names and surname
Check with each candidate or their parents to ensure
that the candidates full certificate name (including
middle name/s) is registered neatly in block letters in
these two columns.
4. Date of birth
Confirm this information with each candidate before
submitting your enrolment. Providing correct dates of
birth ensures accurate linkage to the candidates
AMEB history, particularly if their full name is not
unique in our database.
5. Sex
Enter M (male) or F (female) for each candidate.
6. Subject code
Each syllabus/subject/grade has been given a subject
code which is listed in the Manual of Syllabuses and
also at the back of this handbook. Enter the subject
code for each candidate. Your code must be correct
for either old or new syllabus where applicable
correct codes can be checked on the AMEB (NSW)
website, under Examinations. Listing accurate
subject codes and descriptions at the time of
enrolment will avoid penalty fees should changes be
requested at a later date.
7. Subject
Please describe syllabus and subject in full.
8. Grade
Check and list the correct grade for each candidates
enrolment.
9. Fee
List fees for each candidate referencing pages 3141
as applicable.
10. Special requests
Examination period availability should be noted in this
box. It is important that each candidate and his/her
family are consulted about dates to be avoided and
these are clearly listed in this box prior to the
lodgement of your enrolment.
Please keep all special requests as brief and
clear as possible.
Requests that are not included on the enrolment
form will incur a fee of $25 per candidate per
examination. Requests will not be processed
without the accompanying fee. Teachers must
ensure that candidates and their families are
aware of this fee.
You may not request specific examination dates
and times.
Requests to transfer to a different postcode
period will incur a fee of $55 per candidate per
examination, up to a maximum of $330. This
request must be submitted by 8 June 2012.
Unless a candidate has been or is being taught
by an AMEB (NSW) examiner requests regarding
the scheduling or nonscheduling of specific
examiners will not be considered.
Please indicate if your candidates are enrolled for
more than one AMEB examination within a given
time frame (with different teachers), or are also
enrolled for a written examination during your
examination period.
Please indicate if you wish siblings to be
examined consecutively, as examinations are
usually arranged by grade.
While every effort is made to meet special
requests, not all requests (particularly Saturdays)
will be possible as scheduling is dependent upon
the availability of venues, examiners and time
constraints.

14
Additional Notes
Candidates who have been taught by an AMEB
examiner
Candidates who enrol for an examination, who
are, or previously have been, taught by someone
who is an AMEB (NSW) examiner, should
indicate this in the Special Request section of the
enrolment form. This information will ensure that
the examiner is not scheduled to examine his/her
own candidates, either past or present.
If rescheduling is necessary due to a candidates
failure to indicate this information on the
enrolment form, additional transfer fees may
be charged.
School examinations
If any of your candidates are likely to be required
to undertake NAPLAN tests, Higher School
Certificate examinations, other important
examinations or school commitments during your
scheduled examining period, please state the
dates to be avoided in the Special Request
section of the enrolment form. The information
printed inside the front cover of this handbook
can assist you in determining these dates.
FMusA/FSDA
FMusA and FSDA candidates MUST submit their
proposed programs to AMEB (NSW) no later than
28 April 2012. Once these programs have been
approved by the AMEB, candidates will receive a
program approval letter.
Photocopies of prerequisites MUST be attached
to the enrolment form (refer to the 2012 Manual
of Syllabuses).
Program notes for FMusA examinations should
be forwarded to the State Office by email in Word
format no later than Friday, 10 August 2012.
LMusA program approvals
If a program approval is needed, it should be
attached to the enrolment form. No requests for
LMusA program approvals will be accepted after
27 July 2012.
Reminders
By signing the enrolment forms and entering
candidates for examinations you have agreed to abide
by the regulations contained in this handbook and on
the AMEB (NSW) website. If you are enrolling
students for examinations, it is your responsibility to
inform your students and their parents or guardians
of all the conditions of enrolment and the examination
requirements.
Check Dates Carefully Before Submitting
Your Enrolment
You should be prepared for your students
examinations to be scheduled at any time during the
advertised periods. Please be aware that some of
these dates fall at the beginning or end of
government school holiday periods and you should
therefore advise your students of the possibility of
being scheduled on those dates.
A fee of $25 per candidate per examination will be
charged for any special request that is not written
on the original enrolment form.
Special requests will not be accepted less than two
months before the commencement of the relevant
examination series or postcode period. Further
information regarding AMEB (NSW) policies can be
found on the Policies section of our website
www.ameb.nsw.edu.au
Avoiding Other Additional Fees
The AMEB (NSW) is not responsible for delays
caused by the postal services. To allow for any
irregularities and avoid late fees, it is best to allow a
few extra days before the due closing date for
enrolments to ensure that the forms reach us in time.
Envelopes postmarked after the closing date will incur
a late fee.

Confirmation of Enrolment
You will receive a computergenerated confirmation of your enrolment(s) as soon as practicable
after the information has been processed. The Confirmation of Enrolment is your tax invoice and
your only official receipt from the AMEB (NSW). Please promptly and thoroughly check this
important document.
The Confirmation of Enrolment provides the opportunity for teachers to doublecheck that
all information relevant to their candidates has been accurately recorded. Please advise us
of any errors immediately in writing. Failure to notify AMEB (NSW) of an anomaly (correct
name, grade, subject code, etc) on the Confirmation of Enrolment within 21 days of the
notification being sent will result in an additional $25 fee per candidate per examination.
The way the name is spelt on the Confirmation is the way it will appear on the certificate.
Replacement certificates will incur a fee of $27.50 each. It is not possible to substitute alternative
candidates at this stage. Please note that the preferred venue listed on your Confirmation of
Enrolment may be changed, subject to suitability and availability as set out on page 18 of this
handbook. If you have NOT received a Confirmation of Enrolment within one month of the closing
date, the teacher or private entrant who signed the enrolment form should check the progress of
the enrolment via AMEB Connect (www.ameb.nsw.edu.au). If examination details cannot be
found, please telephone the AMEB (NSW) to check the status of your enrolment.
Practical Examination
Practical examinations are conducted in accordance with all syllabus requirements set out in the
2012 Manual of Syllabuses and in accordance with the policies and procedures in this
handbook. Teachers enrolling for an Old syllabus must consult the Manual of Syllabuses edition
specified in the subject codes on pages 3141 of this handbook.
Notice of Practical Examination
Every effort will be made to ensure that a Notice of Practical Examination for each candidate is
dispatched to the teacher/private candidate approximately three weeks before the examination.
These notices must be given to candidates for presentation at the examination venue. Our
website provides provisional examination dates as soon as they are scheduled. You can check
these provisional dates via the AMEB Connect section of our website (www.ameb.nsw.edu.au).
It is possible that your candidates examinations may be scheduled on a weekday or Saturday.
It is also possible that examinations may be scheduled during school holidays. Please check
carefully the day, date, venue and studio number (if applicable) on each candidates Notice of
Practical Examination.
Additional Teacher Responsibilities
Make sure your candidates instruments are correctly assembled and tuned before entering
the examination room. This is the responsibility of the teacher, not the examiner.
Arrange for an accompanist (where applicable) and cover any costs involved.
Advise candidates undertaking practical examinations that they MUST have original copies of all
the music required for performance, in the appropriate order, at the beginning of the examination.
Please note: No photography, or any recording devices are permitted in any AMEB (NSW)
examinations

17
amebnsw
Other Examination Matters for the Teacher to Note
Teachers are not allowed to alter the examination schedule for their students under any
circumstances. Examiners will only accept schedule alterations initiated by the AMEB
(NSW) office.
Prerecorded accompaniment is not acceptable, unless specified by the syllabus. In For
Leisure or CPM syllabuses where candidates wish to use backing tracks, ensure that your
students understand that it is their responsibility to provide and operate suitable equipment
for such performances. AMEB (NSW) does not provide facilities such as CD players for the
use of backing tracks.
If a candidate presents a piece of music (other than Own Choice or Extra List) that is not
listed in the syllabus for which they are enrolled, their mark will be downgraded. For more
information, see Regulation 25 in the 2012 Manual of Music Syllabuses.
Refund Policy
The AMEB (NSW) enrolment, examination preparation and scheduling processes incur
significant costs for the AMEB (NSW), irrespective of whether candidates actually present on the
day of their examinations. However, if a candidate wishes to withdraw from his/her examination,
it must be submitted in writing and will be considered under the following conditions:
A full refund (less $20 per candidate per examination administration fee) will be issued if a
written request is received before the Series closing date or at least three months prior to
the commencement of the relevant series (Series 04), regional practical examination period
(Series 02, 08), or postcode period (Series 03, 10).
A 50% refund will be issued if written advice of withdrawal is received as follows:
written examinations (Series 01, 05) at least one month before the commencement of
the particular series (see page 23).
practical examinations at least two months before the commencement of the relevant
series (Series 04, 06, 09), regional practical examination period (Series 02, 08), or
postcode period (Series 03, 10). See page 22 of this handbook for dates.
Exact dates for refunds as described above can be found in the tables for practical and
written examinations that appear in the centre pages of this handbook.
No refund will be applicable after the time frames outlined above. It is the responsibility of
the teacher to ensure that their students and their families are aware of these deadlines.
Postcode Policy Second Metropolitan Series
Due to the large number of candidates entered for the Second Metropolitan Series of
Examinations it is necessary for the AMEB (NSW) to divide the examinations into different
periods. The teachers suburb as indicated on the enrolment form will be used to schedule that
teachers candidates into a particular postcode period. Postcode periods are indicated on
page 22 of this handbook.
Regardless of a teachers post office box postcode, candidates will be examined according to the
postcode of the teachers suburb that appears on the enrolment form. If your teaching studio
address is different from your mailing address, you should indicate this clearly by attaching a
letter of explanation to the enrolment form. In this event the postcode period will apply to the
teaching studio address.

18
Where a teacher has arranged for examinations to be held in another private studio, the
postcode period of that studio will apply for examination scheduling. This does not apply to
official venues offered by AMEB (NSW).
In the event of a teacher changing address between the time of enrolment and the examination
date, the original enrolling postcode will apply.
Venues
Metropolitan examinations
Venue Examination Availability
Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre, Penrith* Weekdays and Saturdays
*available in limited examination periods
AMEB Clarence Street, Sydney CBD Weekdays and Saturdays
Sydney Conservatorium of Music, Sydney CBD Saturdays only
If candidates nominate an examination on either a weekday or a Saturday, we will do our best
to accommodate that request. However, if this is not possible due to the availability of studios
and/or examiners, candidates will be scheduled at the most appropriate venue on a weekday at
the above listed venues.
Warm!up rooms
Where a warmup room is provided, it is for the purpose of warming up and tuning instruments
and not for rehearsing repertoire. Should additional time or privacy be required, studio hire is
available at the Clarence Street studios during business hours.
Clarence Street Level 8 Studios
Singing, brass, woodwind and string candidates of all grades, and piano candidates presenting
for AMEB practical examinations at an Eighth Grade, Certificate of Performance, Associate or
Licentiate level at this venue are invited to use our warmup facilities for five minutes per
candidate before their examination. Warmup facilities for lower grades of piano at this venue
should not be expected.
Other AMEB examination venues
Warmup facilities are not available to candidates or their accompanists at other AMEB
examination venues. Such facilities cannot be guaranteed and should not be expected.
Private studios
There must be a minimum total of four hours examining per instrument category before an
examiner may be scheduled to examine at a private venue/studio. If teachers using a venue
have a combined total of less than four hours examining, the AMEB (NSW) will organise
another venue for the examinations.
It may be possible for examination timetables in private studios to be reordered, only if a
request is submitted in writing to the AMEB (NSW) office not less than 48 hours before the
examination timetable. Teachers and/or studio hosts are NOT to make contact with
examiners regarding timetables.
It is the responsibility of the visiting teacher to ensure that the private studio is available and
appropriate for your students examinations.

amebnsw
19
It is expected that candidates and visiting teachers will respect the facilities at the
examination studio by waiting only in the area directed by the host teacher, leaving the
premises on completion of examinations, and not interrupting examinations in progress.
If you elect to have your students examined at another teachers private studio, your contact
details may be given to the venue owner.
It is unlikely that examinations will be held in private studios on a Saturday.
To see if your studio meets our criteria as an examination venue, please consult the Policies
section of the AMEB (NSW) website (www.ameb.nsw.edu.au).
Please note that recording the whole, or any part, of any AMEB examination is not permitted.
Federal examinations
Federal music practical examinations (LMusA, FMusA, LTMusA) will be held at a Sydney
metropolitan venue to be determined by the AMEB (NSW).
Examinations
Queries and complaints
AMEB examinations are conducted as a formal process on a strict timetable. In order that other
candidates are not disadvantaged, it is not possible for examiners to discuss reports or other
examination issues with teachers, parents or candidates at the examination venue.
Queries or objections about any examination results or examiners must be set out in writing and
sent by email or post addressed to the State Manager. Verbal objections will not be accepted and
no complaint will be considered more than 10 working days after receipt of the examination
report. Letters of complaint concerning an examiner will be forwarded to that examiner for
comment, after which a response will be issued by the State Manager. More information can be
obtained from the Policies section of the AMEB (NSW) website (www.ameb.nsw.edu.au).
Trainee examiners
A trainee examiner may be present during grade examinations. This examination experience is
vital for trainees in order to maintain AMEBs high examining standards. In such an instance,
the candidate will receive the Supervising Examiners result and written report.
Diploma examinations
Diploma examinations require two specialist examiners. In instances where it is not feasible to
schedule two examiners in a regional area, AMusA candidates will be required to travel to
Sydney during the period 15 September to 5 October to be examined. LMusA and FMusA
examinations are held in Sydney during the September/October school holidays and/or days
surrounding this period. Transfers are not possible from Series 4.
Candidates are advised that they must bring a copy of their music for the examiners so that they
can be certain of the edition from which the candidate is working.
Provisional enrolments
Provisional enrolments will not be accepted for practical examinations.

20

booking information can be found on their website: www.crc.nsw.gov.au/services
Candidates requiring Special Provisions
To ensure that the examination process is accessible to all, provisions may be made for
candidates with special needs. Our policy may be found in the Policies section of the AMEB
(NSW) website (www.ameb.nsw.edu.au). Please forward a copy of the candidates medical
documentation to the AMEB (NSW) office with their enrolment form. Before the examination

correspondence on the day of the examination.
Dress code
AMEB examinations follow a formal and structured process. Candidates are advised to consider
the occasion as they would any performance opportunity and dress appropriately in a smart
casual style.
Photocopies
Composers, authors and playwrights depend to a significant extent on royalty income from sales
of their publications, as does the AMEB. Those using photocopies of printed material should
ensure that the copies do not contravene the Copyright Act. Unauthorised photocopying is illegal.

of this material has been obtained. Candidates should note that heavy penalties apply for the
improper use of copyright material.

n
If Special Provisions are required for any student, please submit medical documentation
and details outlining the provision required with the enrolment. Medical certificates or
letters regarding illness will not be accepted by examiners at the examination.
Crosscheck that the fees for examinations itemised on the enrolment form match the total

Reports and Certificates
Reports
From 2012, candidates will no longer receive their examination report on the day of their
examination. In response to feedback from teachers who often are not provided with a copy
of the examination report from their students, teachers will now receive their candidates
examination reports in the post with their certificates.
Whereas previously the onus has been on the student to pass their report onto the teacher,
now the reverse will be the case. This initiative brings AMEB (NSW) in line with the
processes of all other AMEB state offices.
Grade Certificates
Please allow approximately four weeks for reports and certificates to be issued and posted.
Diploma Certificates
Diploma certificates are presented at the Annual Presentation Ceremony in March each year,
along with Distinction medals where applicable. Candidates who cannot attend the Diploma
Presentation Ceremony will receive their certificates through the mail.
Certificates for Groups
One certificate will be issued with the group name as supplied on the enrolment form. If you
would like one additional certificate with the names of all group members please write to the
office providing the appropriate names. Further copies of this certificate may be supplied at the
request of the teacher, at a cost of $11 per certificate.
AMEB (NSW) Distinction Certificates
AMEB (NSW) no longer issues an additional certificate for A+ gradings in practical
examinations or for 95% or higher in written examinations.
One certificate only will be issued for all grade examinations in Music and Speech and Drama
subjects.
Grading descriptors for grade certificates will reflect the following marks:
Grading Descriptor Written Practical
High Distinction 95% 100% A+
Honours 85% 94% A
Credit 75% 84% B+ or B
Pass 65% 74% C+ or C
Please note: The AMEB (NSW) is not responsible for the delivery of mail once it has left the
office. Reimbursement for lost articles may be claimed from Australia Post and compensation
may be paid at their discretion.
Replacement certificates will incur a fee of $27.50 each.

Practical Exam Transfers
Examination scheduling is a process that involves
many of variables, and the magnitude of this task
necessitates closing dates that may be some months
prior to the examination dates. We understand that
situations out of your control may arise at short
notice. Please be aware that this creates a challenge
for all concerned.
Before Scheduling
A great volume of transfer requests are received by
AMEB (NSW) each week, and the processing of these
transfers disrupts and slows down the rate at which
we can release completed examination schedules for
all candidates.
Details for the transfer process and associated fees
are listed below.

Please note: It is not possible to transfer examinations to the following year under any circumstances.

After Scheduling
Once the date has been scheduled, it is not possible
to arrange alternative dates for practical examinations
for any reason other than on substantiated medical,
religious, school endorsed educational grounds,
verified workrelated grounds or relevant generally
recognised days of cultural significance. No other
grounds for transfer will be considered.
If a candidate is unable to attend his or her practical
examination due to one of the above reasons, an
alternative date may be offered, provided that:
venues and examiners are available
a written request for a transfer has been
submitted to the AMEB (NSW) no later than two
weeks after the scheduled examination date.
If AMEB (NSW) is unable to reschedule a country
examination while examiners are still touring that
particular region, candidates requesting a transfer will
be required to travel to Sydney.
Medical transfers must include a medical certificate
from a registered doctor stating:
when the condition emerged
how the condition affected the candidates ability
to be examined
when it is anticipated the candidate will be fit to
undertake their examination.
In some cases it may be necessary for the doctor
and/or parent/guardian to also complete a Medical
Transfer form.
Other transfers (as outlined above) must include an
official letter from the school, workplace or relevant
organisation outlining the reason for the candidates
inability to attend the examination.
Transfer fees for all transfers are as follows:
$55 for Level 1 (Preliminary 4th Grade) per
candidate per examination
$66 for Level 2 (5th8th Grade and Certificate of
Performance, any CPM Advancing Step) per
candidate per examination
$99 for Level 3 (Associate Licentiate) per
candidate per examination.
Submit the supporting documentation and payment
to AMEB (NSW) office together with a clear indication
as to when the candidate will be able to undertake
the examination. Transfer dates may be offered with
minimal notice. Every effort will be made to
accommodate transfers, but rescheduling cannot be
guaranteed and should not be expected.
If a transfer cannot be arranged, your transfer request
and fee will not be processed.
Please note: It is not possible under any
circumstances to transfer examinations to the
following year.
Studio Transfers
Where a teacher has arranged for examinations to be
held in a particular studio in the Second Metropolitan
Series, the postcode period of that studio will apply
for examination scheduling. If a studio has applied for
a transfer to another postcode period, all students
attending that studio will be examined in the
nominated period.
Change of Teacher
Teachers should ensure that they only enrol
candidates whom they are currently teaching and
who have agreed to sit for an AMEB (NSW)
examination.
In order to safeguard the interests of all parties, any
request to change the teacher listed in an enrolment
after the initial enrolment has been processed
requires confirmation from the enrolling teacher.
There will be a fee of $55.00 charged to reassign
candidates from one teacher to another or from/to
private candidate status after enrolment. A Change of
Teacher form can be downloaded from the Teacher
Support section of our website
(www.ameb.nsw.edu.au). Please complete and
forward this form to the AMEB (NSW) office with your
$55 payment.
Please note: A change of teacher does not change
the exam period. The exam will still be set according
to the original enrolling teachers postcode.
Candidates may not change the enrolling teacher
once the examination has taken place. This policy
applies to all AMEB (NSW) examinations.

Written Examinations
Written examinations are conducted in accordance
with syllabus requirements set out in the AMEB 2012
Manual of Syllabuses and in accordance with the
policies and procedures in this handbook.
Candidates may enrol for two grades of written
examinations in the same series provided the
examinations are not scheduled at the same time.
Notice of Written Examination
A Notice of Written Examination for each candidate
is dispatched to the teacher/private entrant
approximately two weeks before the examination.
Please note the precise time, date and location for
the examination. You will receive two notices in the
case of Music Craft and Musicianship exams that
have an aural and written component. These may be
listed on opposite sides of the one A4 page, so please
ensure you check both sides of your Notice of Written
Examination carefully.
This notice must be given to the candidate to present
at the examination venue.
Teachers should ensure that their students:
attend the venue indicated on the Notice of
Written Examination
arrive at the examination venue at least 20
minutes before the scheduled commencement
time. Reading time (if applicable) will commence
10 minutes before the advertised start of the
examination
only take pens, pencils, erasers and rulers into
the examination room. Any paper product will be
confiscated with the exception of an approved
English/foreign language dictionary and text
required for Sixth Grade and Seventh Grade
Speech and Performance
do not take mobile phones or computer
equipment into the examination
complete the attendance slip correctly
check that they receive the correct paper from
the supervisor as more than one paper may be
issued at the same examination venue
know that Theory of Music paper is white, the
Musicianship paper is blue, the Music Craft
paper is yellow and Speech and Performance
Theory is green
write their correct candidate number on the paper.
Candidates whose first language is not English may
use a dictionary in written examinations, providing
that the dictionary is foreign language/English.
Candidates should advise the AMEB (NSW) office in
writing that they intend to use a dictionary when they
enrol, outlining their reasons for doing so. The AMEB
(NSW) will then provide the candidate with a letter of
authorisation that must be presented to the
examination supervisor prior to the commencement
of writing. The supervisor will check that the
dictionary falls within the guidelines, and that it does
not include any other written material.
Before the scheduled commencement of all written
examinations (except the aural component of the
Musicianship and Music Craft examinations), 10
minutes reading time is allowed. No writing will be
permitted during this time. At the commencement
of the aural Musicianship and aural Music Craft
examinations, candidates will be given a short
listening time in order to become familiar with the
sounds used on the examination recording. At the
conclusion of the aural Musicianship and aural Music
Craft examinations candidates will have 10 minutes
checking time during which writing is permitted.
Manuscript paper for rough working will be provided
for all aural and written examinations. The supervisor
will collect all unused working papers; no manuscript
paper may be taken from the room. Only the worked
paper (and any attached sheets) will be considered
for marking. Pencilled answers are only acceptable if
they are clearly legible.
Written Venues
Sydney metropolitan area
Examinations will be held throughout the metropolitan
area in schools, colleges and community halls.
Teachers should indicate their preferred examination
area on the enrolment form. However, where a
nominated examination area is unavailable, or where

28
no preference of area is specified, candidates will be
directed to the available venue nearest to the
teachers address.
The Confirmation of Enrolment will indicate the
teachers preferred examination area. Please notify
the AMEB (NSW) immediately if this area is incorrect.
While every effort is made to accommodate
candidates in the preferred area, the capacity and
availability of venues may require alterations without
notice. Please check the venue carefully on the
Notice of Written Examination.
All Speech and Drama candidates may be directed to
one central Sydney venue.
Candidates for Music Craft and Aural Musicianship
examinations will be directed to central examination
venues. Music Craft Aural and Written components
are held on the same day at the same venue (with
the exception of Fifth and Sixth Grades of Music
Craft), but the Aural and Written components of
Musicianship may be held at different venues.
Examination areas country
A minimum of 10 candidates per day is required in
order for any examination venue to be established.
For this reason teachers are advised that they should
collaborate with other teachers in their area and enter
candidates for the same session in order to ensure a
local venue. Teachers must be aware that the
preferred area nominated on the Confirmation of
Enrolment may vary from the venue finally allocated
on the Notice of Examination. Candidates in country
areas may be required to travel to the nearest
available venue. However, in response to teacher
feedback, the AMEB (NSW) agrees that no candidate
should travel more than 125 kilometres (each way)
from their teachers studio to the examination venue
on any one day. Students sitting for Musicianship
examinations with Aural components should travel
no more than 70 kilometres (each way) from their
teachers studio to the examination venue on each
of the two days involved. If a Musicianship candidate
travels further than 70 kilometres (each way) on one
day, then the other component of the examination will
be held in their teachers local centre. If scheduling
has already commenced, late enrollees may have to
travel further than the distances indicated above.
Written Transfers
Transfer of examinations between series
It is not possible under any circumstances to transfer
examinations from one year to another. However,
candidates may transfer from one written series to
another in the same year. This can be arranged free
of charge provided the AMEB (NSW) receives written
notification at least one month before the
commencement of the series in which the candidate
was originally enrolled. A transfer fee of $55 will apply
if less than one months notice is provided. The
AMEB (NSW) must be notified prior to the scheduled
examination.
Traditional written examinations and online
written examinations
It is not possible under any circumstances to transfer
from a traditional written examination to an online
examination or from an online written examination to
a traditional written examination.
Issue of Examination Results and
Certificates
Written examination results and certificates are issued
within eight weeks of the examination date. The
marked papers of all Theory of Music and Musicianship
candidates from Grades 13 are returned to the
teacher. Candidates for Grade 4 and above and all
candidates sitting for Music Craft examinations receive
a report from the assessor giving the marks awarded for
each section and any relevant comments. No Music
Craft papers will be returned to teachers. However,
teachers may come to the office to view the papers at a
cost of $10 per paper. Arrangements to view papers
must be made in advance.
Reassessment of Written Examination
Papers
If you believe an error has been made, AMEB (NSW)
must be notified within 12 weeks of the examination
date. A reassessment can be arranged on the receipt
of a fee of $50. In the event that an error is
established this fee will be refunded. The criteria for
reassessment are limited only to cases of incorrect
29

amebnsw
addition of the marks and/or errors of fact. Requests
based on differences in interpretation or professional
judgement will not be considered.
All Music Craft papers and papers from Grade 4
upwards in Theory of Music and Musicianship with a
result of 63 or 64 will automatically be reassessed by
a second assessor. The reviewed mark will be the
mark recorded and the reviewed report will be issued
to the teacher. The assessors decision is final and no
correspondence will be entered into regarding that
decision.
Provisional Enrolments
Candidates needing an additional requirement of a
written component in order to complete their AMusA
or LMusA examination, and who enrol in the May
series of written examinations, may submit a
Provisional Enrolment for the same grade and syllabus
for the August series as a safeguard against an
unsatisfactory result on the first attempt. This also
applies to Speech and Drama candidates who require
prerequisites in order to enrol for ADPA, LDPA or
FSDA practical examinations. In the event that the
candidate is successful in the first series, a full refund
(less $20 administration fee) will be issued provided
we receive written notification of the withdrawal by
18 July 2012. Enrolments for both series must be
made at the same time by the closing date for the
May written examinations, and the August enrolment
must be clearly marked Provisional Enrolment.
