Just to be correct: The sequence of events in the PTG exam changed some time back. First, one must "prove that [one] can [tune] 2 octaves entirely by ear..." Part One of the exam is strictly aural and involves tuning the pitch of A4, followed by a temperament octave, and then the rest of the mid-range, C3-B4. In Part Two of the tuning exam, a visual tuning device may be used, if the examinee desires, to help with the tuning of C1-B2 and C5-B7. Unisons must be tuned without a visual tuning device.
