Which statement best describes the sequence of Cecchetti Grade 2 exam sections?

• A. Barre, centre, petit allegro; theory questions only occasionally.
• B. Centre, barre, grande allegro with no theory.
• C. Barre section, centre section, and petit allegro section; sometimes theory questions.
• D. Barre, then a full set of pointe work, then solo.

Answer: (C)

The sequence being tested is barre first to show clean technique and alignment, then centre to demonstrate control and musicality away from the bar, and finally petit allegro to check speed, precision, and transitions. Theory questions may be included at times, but not guaranteed, so saying sometimes theory questions best reflects how the exam can vary. The other options either mix in elements not typical for Grade 2 (like full pointe work or grand allegro) or place the sections in an incorrect order, so this sequence matches what the Grade 2 exam usually requires.
