The test contains 5 questions. Budget 15 minutes per question. Do not spend too much time on a single question.

Question 1. Realize the Roman numerals in SATB (chorale) format.

Provide key signatures.
Label the resolution of temporary leading tones with “↑ LT” and chordal sevenths with “↓ 7”.
Resolving the first chord to a triad that contains root/third/third/fifth is acceptable.
Important: make sure each notehead and accidental is clearly in a space or on a line.

Question 2. Identifying pivot chords

On the top staff, write the diatonic triads for each scale degree of the first key.
On the lower staff, copy those same chords, but add the necessary accidentals for the new key.
Label all chords with Roman numerals.
Draw a box around each possible pivot chord pair.
Because we are in minor keys, write the triads on scale degrees 5 and 7 twice: once in natural minor and once with the leading tone.
Do not use key signatures: write all accidentals next to the chord itself.

B minor

F# minor
