Remember to have a banana before the exam!

Good luck!
Car ExpertHe's right, bananas do actually help.
With the aurals, get your teacher (or someone else) to explain them for you and how to actually tell what they are, with examples for how they should sound (for modulation and cadences etc.) as well as the practice pieces. I got my friend to give me examples and that really helped. It wasn't for Grade 8 though.
But anyway, Good Luck!!
