Flex Theory Exams

Our Flex Theory Exam option allows students to write their theory exams in ANY location convenient for them on ANY day of the year! The exam can be written in any quiet location that the student and teacher feels is appropriate and the exam is administered by a presiding officer of your choice. This option allows us to email the exam to the presiding officer a few days before the scheduled exam date. The presiding officer must have access to the technology required to accommodate the electronic nature of the exams, as we only send them by email and they must be scanned and emailed back.

Register for a Flex Theory Exam through your portal and then email registrar@conservatorycanada.ca with the following information a minimum of two weeks before the day you wish to write your exam. It’s that easy!

·         Date and exact time that the exam will be written. This is chosen entirely at the discretion of the student and teacher.

·         Name and address of the location where the exam will be written. This can be any quiet space that the student or teacher feels is appropriate.

·         Name, email address, and telephone number of the presiding officer. This can be any responsible adult other than the student’s parents or theory teacher. Other music or school teachers may be used, as long as it is not the teacher for the particular course being examined. The presiding officer that you select must have access to a printer and scanner. The exam paper will be sent to the presiding officer by email two business days before the student is scheduled to write. They will need to print the exam, supervise the student while he/she writes, then scan the completed exam as a single PDF file and return it by email. Exams returned in other formats will not be accepted. There are no other restrictions on who can proctor the exam.

Practical Flex eExams

Our eExams are practical exams that take place online.  Originally developed for piano exams, we are now able to offer Voice and String eExams.  For a complete description and video featuring our eExam technology, click here.  These exams are booked online at least two weeks before your desired date.

In-person Flex Practical Exams

In some centers where we have an Examiner at “arms length” from the student and teacher, as well access to an appropriate no cost venue, we can schedule in-person exams outside of our seasonal sessions. These exams are booked online, but consultation with our office is recommended in advance.
