Go over your scales slowly.

He's right, bananas do actually help. biggrin.gif

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!! cool.gif

Don't worry. If you stuff up on your Aural and scales you have your pieces to save you.

Good Luck! Eat a bannana

Good luck biggrin.gif just go in and do your best, don't worry about the marks until it's over. For the aural part just answer promptly and confidently, even if you don't really know what the answer is, just make it sound like you do: there are marks for that smile.gif.
