Sight-reading
Up to sixteen bars, broader key list, characteristic riffs and bass lines, occasional ties and offbeat accents.
Practice tips for this grade
Recognise standard pop / rock voicings — they recur.
Don't fight the syncopation — internalise it before you play.
Keep the left-hand pattern consistent; it anchors the test.
