Here are some sample student responses from the 2008 AP Music Theory Exam in two file formats: Real Player and MP3.

Important Note About Audio Files
We offer audio files in two formats: Real Audio and MP3. The Windows Media Player that comes installed with recent versions of Windows operating systems will play the MP3 files. To play the Real Audio files, you must download a copy of the Real Player from the Real.com Web site (available below).
Real Audio Files
The Real Player can be downloaded from Real.com. Once the player has been downloaded to your computer, you can open a file by clicking on the file name. The player should then automatically open and the file should play. If you have any problems, go to the Real Networks Web site at Real.com and check their Services and Support section.
Some versions of Netscape have trouble handling MP3 files and may display "gibberish" in the browser window. If this happens, try to click on the link while holding the shift key or right-click on the link, then select "Save This Link As" in Netscape.
