I haven't posted here in a while. Anyway, I'm a college student, and while studying for midterm and final exams, I would often listen to the soundtrack of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, specifically the classic 1998 soundtrack and the 2007 UK remix soundtrack, in order to increase the tension. I find that the dramatic music of the show is appropriate for preparing to take an exam. I just took my last final exam for the semester today, and it was an online exam. While taking the exam, I listened to the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? soundtrack. Now, during an in-class exam, you can't listen to the music, but you can play it in your head. When you're taking an online exam, however, you can listen to the soundtrack, and that's what I did, in order to increase the tension. While listening to the soundtrack on YouTube, I've read some of the comments, and some of the comments state that they also use the soundtrack to study for exams. Do you know anyone else who uses the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? soundtrack to study for exams, and if so, what do you think of it? |

I haven't used it personally, but the best tracks to listen to $250,000, $500,000 and $1 Million music and I find that the $100-$1000 music from the classic version is also good. |

I've actually done that while doing a test, specifically the original £1,000,000 music.

I say that if you had to use a strict choice, use the $64,000 question music for the midterm exams, and the $1 million question music for the final exams. If there are three exams, then use the $2,000 question music for the first exam, the $64,000 question music for the second exam, and the $1 million question music for the final exam. (Although I used all of the music for all of the exams, including the $100-$1,000 question music, for both midterm and final exams). Perhaps the professor should put this music on in order to increase the tension.

I can't fathom the idea of using the Millionaire music when studying for, or indeed when taking, a test. The whole point is that music is supposed to make it harder for you to think.

Oddly enough, I've never had the Millionaire music come to mind when I'm taking tests. But I can definitely imagine thinking, "if you don't know, then you must go" when stuck on a question.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's done this. The previous posters do have a point. The music is supposed to make you uncomfortable, it's supposed to put you at the edge of your seat, riddled with anxiety; therefore, why would you ever use it as background music during college tests? Well, for my college exams, when I was doing my art history studies, I'm not ashamed to admit that I've been too 'laxed' on serious exams. Using WWTBAM music cues as background music gave me that sense of urgency, it's telling me, "All right, listen, this is for your online mid-term, take it seriously."
When I had my online final exam, it was a timed exam and fittingly, I used the $1 million dollar cue from the clock version, as silly as that was, it did help me concentrate. I can't speak for everyone, but it worked out great for me.
