Here are some samples I am working on. Either I have made a mistake or the final bar is incomplete. Is it normal in an exam to have incomplete bars at the end?

1I hope the assignment makes extra clear that those are two separate examples. I can imagine plenty of students who would join the last beat of the top example and the first three beats of the second into a single measure, especially since doing so means ending with a full bar of the second excerpt.– Richard is stepping down ♦Aug 23, 2021 at 9:34

yeah you have to just look at the letters on the left but it can be tricky– armaniAug 23, 2021 at 10:35

If it were one piece I would want to know how both the key signature and time signature change inside a measure.– David KAug 23, 2021 at 18:01

@Richard - it does say 'extracts', and they're written in different keys, and there wouldn't be a new (different) time sig. for what some may consider a follow on from the first extract - which then couldn't be starting on the 1st beat - as also stated. I think we're safe!– TimAug 24, 2021 at 7:54

Yes, they're literally open-ended. This means you can't necessarily work backwards, as sometimes that can help, so makes the question a touch more difficult.
