Sight-reading
Up to twenty-four bars, all common keys, contrapuntal textures, occasional tied syncopation, more complex pedalling implied by phrasing.
Practice tips for this grade
Identify any imitation between the hands before starting.
Pulse over precision — a steady tempo with two wrong notes beats a stop.
Trust the harmonic outline; if you lose the texture, hold the chord changes.
