News and Updates
- NEW ART: Official List for 2009-11. 
A revision to the Official List was posted in October 2009. The work by van Beyeren, "A Roemer with Grapes, a Pewter Plate and a Roll," is correct on the Official List, but in some places in the Art Smart Bulletin and on the color prints and other supplemental materials is listed with the second occurence of the word "a" capitalized. To avoid points being lost by contestants due to confusion regarding the differing versions, either capitalization should be counted correct if this work is selected for Part A of the contest.
- NEW MAPS, GRAPHS & CHARTS: Correction for Grade 7&8 INVITATIONAL test.
The state office recommends throwing out question #8 on the grade 7&8 Invitational test due to unclear wording of the question and an unintentionally ambiguous answer. No other tests are affected.
- NEW MUSIC MEMORY: Download the OFFICIAL LIST for 2009-10. Download grading guidelines for 2009-10.
Two corrections have been made as of September 2009 - click the link above to download the corrected list. This corrected list takes the place of the list previously posted, as well as the list published in the A+ Handbook.
