Musicals test music theory. Music theory and sight-singing and ear-training are taken as passing examinations, and their scores are not included in the total score. The passing lines for the two subjects are drawn separately. In principle, a score of 60% in both music theory and sight-singing and ear-training subjects is considered passing. If the number of musical theater candidates in the Department of Drama who have scored 60 points in music theory and sight-singing and ear training is less than 80% of the number of people participating in the re-examination of musicals in the department, the passing score line for the single subject will be lowered until the number of qualified candidates in the subject reaches the number of musicals in the department participating in the re-examination. Up to 80 people.
