Terms of use
The terms that apply when you use Auraldesk: what the practice and its marks can be relied on for, your data, refunds and what stays free.
Last updated 19 October 2026
What this is
Auraldesk is a practice tool for the aural tests of graded music exams at Grades 1 to 3. It generates practice tests by fixed rules and marks singing and clapping through your microphone by fixed tolerances. Marks are practice feedback, not exam marks, and are not a prediction of an exam result. The marker hears pitch and timing only; it cannot judge tone, expression or musical sense.
Exam boards set their own syllabuses and change them: check the current syllabus for the exam being taken.
Names used
Exam board names appear on this site only to describe the style of practice. Auraldesk is not affiliated with ABRSM, Trinity College London, AMEB, RCM or any exam board.
What is free
These stay free with no account. A paid tier adds the extras listed on the Premium page. Nothing free is moved behind a gate to make room for it.
- Grades 1 to 3, all 4 test types, 2 attempts of each a day
- Microphone marking with the pitch trace and clap views, and marking yourself
- The microphone and speaker check
- 1 student profile with its attempt log, and backup export and import
Your data
Anything the site remembers is stored by your own browser on your own device. You can clear it at any time, we cannot recover it, and it does not follow you to another device. Microphone sound is never stored at all. Download a backup to keep a copy of the profiles and the attempt log.
Refunds
Not happy with a purchase? Email socialreminderinfo@gmail.com within 14 days of a first purchase, or within 7 days of a renewal, and we will refund it. Send the message from the email address you used at checkout, and include:
- the email address used at checkout (if you are writing from a different address)
- your access code, shown on the Premium page while you have Premium on the browser you purchased from
- roughly when you purchased, and which plan (weekly, yearly or lifetime)
- the last 4 digits of the card, if you have the receipt handy
That is everything needed to find the purchase and process the refund. This policy does not limit any statutory rights you may have.
Acceptable use
Use the site for practice and teaching. Do not scrape it at a rate that degrades it for other people.
Warranty and liability
The site is provided as it is, without warranty of any kind. To the extent the law allows, Auraldesk is not liable for any loss arising from its use or from reliance on a mark it gives, including an exam result.
Contact
Questions, and reports of a mark that breaks a stated rule, go to socialreminderinfo@gmail.com. Describe the test and what the trace showed. A mark that breaks a stated rule is a defect and gets fixed.
