Are there any music/music history majors out there at UCLA? Or just someone who took the exam who can tell me what was on it...
I have not had any music theory courses, but I'm taking the placement exam because I'm not sure if I want to switch in to music or not. The website gives me a general description of it, but I want to know if anyone has taken it and has remembered what is on it. The website says that you have to identify melodic and harmonic dictations by ear... but that seems a lot to ask, since I'm sure there are many other students who have not taken any theory courses, like me.

they just play stuff, and have you write it out. it's nothing like super technical like AP music theory. it's just simple one-note dictation. like i remember the first page was just writing out scales. then writing out triads. then it was dictating triads (played each note separately), then dictating rhythmn. it's all just basic stuff, as long as you are relatively advanced in playing an instrument, there's not reason why you shouldn't get a perfect score.
