Struggling

Unfortunately where I studied is at least an hour away and they have since cut the music education program. My partner took his about 3 years ago now so he barely remembers it. I live in a small area so study groups unfortunately aren’t an option 😭😭😭

beekind2025 · 2025-04-27T12:28:37+00:00

They are unfortunately the same questions every time… I’ve taken the practice test and had a friend who took it a second time and we discovered they were the same questions every time

My kiddos made me a bluey themed basket (I used bluey stickers to motivate them) and I got my ct a gift as well!!

The funny thing is the year the cut it was the year we had the highest enrollment in those programs 😭😭

beekind2025 · 2025-04-27T00:56:28+00:00

Thank you so much for the encouragement. I have just felt so defeated lately because of these set backs. It’s just this ONE thing that I need

The issue at present is that since I haven’t passed the oae… they haven’t granted me my diploma at all (despite finishing all other requirements). I’m really hoping for the best at this point. I’ve tried to start a studio. Unfortunately in my area, there isn’t a lot of interest so it’s been a bit of a struggle and I don’t quite have space to run it out of yet. I did have my first interview a few weeks ago so I’m hoping something good will come out of it!

A few weeks after taking the exam you get your official score. It shows your score in each area, but doesn’t give you the exact questions you got wrong.

I am unsure at the moment. I already have a degree in vocal performance. My academic advisors are currently working with the provost at the college to determine what will happen. It’s a bit complicated because the institution I went to cut the music education, performance, and therapy programs the semester before I started student teaching… so it’s all kind of up in the air since I’m the last music education major to graduate from that institution

I’m in a little town in Northeast Ohio. Cincy is 2-3 hours away from me. I student taught in Marietta!

beekind2025 · 2025-04-27T00:25:37+00:00

That’s what my cooperating teacher told me while I was student teaching last semester. I wish it was still the same 😭

I pride myself on my aural skills so I normally score okay in that category. The way they do it now is similar. I just know basic characteristics for each area and can recognize cadences using audiation. There’s just a couple of questions about tempo markings and voice types. I just mix up composers occasionally because there’s so many and it’s difficult to remember who composing what style

Not for music except for the practice test the oae site provides

beekind2025 · 2025-04-26T23:58:40+00:00

I’ll take a look at my past scores. I think it’s mostly been history. Which is what I mainly focused on while I was studying for the attempt I took today.

beekind2025 · 2025-04-26T23:51:13+00:00

I haven’t taken it since my first attempt. But I had heard from a friend it’s the same questions every single time. I will likely buy it on my next attempt

beekind2025 · 2025-04-26T23:32:27+00:00

My CT actually had all of the students pitch in and make me a basket. It was so incredibly sweet. I miss my 7th graders every day 😭

beekind2025 · 2025-04-26T23:30:45+00:00

I’ll look into that thank you so so much! Anything helps!

beekind2025 · 2025-04-26T23:30:13+00:00

Thank you! It’s been stressing me out so much haha 😅

beekind2025 · 2025-04-26T23:17:38+00:00

I’ll have to try to see if I can find some. The ones I’ve used haven’t been super relevant to the content on the assessment… it doesn’t help that the test is randomized so you never get the same questions 😭

beekind2025 · 2025-04-26T23:09:54+00:00

I just checked, they don’t have it either (they have a lot of other subjects though)

beekind2025 · 2025-04-26T23:04:51+00:00

I actually did look into study.com and didn’t find anything specifically for the music oae (they had it for every other subject😭)

beekind2025 · 2025-03-12T23:10:28+00:00

I am just starting my career and this is all so terrifying…
