Is AP music theory hard? I'm taking it next year. And what's the section of death?

at my school, APMT is an easy class. our professor hardly cares if we pay attention or be on time or not, and he rarely gives us homework. all our grades are participation (ex. concerts at the meyerson? uhhh awesome!) and tests (which we had two of... fall semester exam and spring semester exam).

for other schools, we hear horror stories. our professor is just like "uh yeah i'm on the board for writing the exam, you guys should know your stuff anyway!" then he goes on lecturing/telling stories

the actual course material is kind of killer if you don't have an extremely strong base.

section of death is different for everyone. there's an aural multiple-choice portion, where you listen to an excerpt and answer questions about it; then there's the straight-up multiple-choice, then there's the sightsinging portion and the written portion (melodic dictation, harmonic dictation, writing four-part harmony).

my weakness was multiple-choice, haha. i've always been the person who gets by theory assignments in orchestra and piano and etc with perfect pitch, but APMT has so much focus on... technicalities. and theory. lol... which is kind of what the entire class is about, but yeah. i've never really been pushed to really learn my theory until last year. there are a lot of terms and memorization involved in the class.

daaamn this is a long post. good luck!
