I noticed no one replied. Check the RCM Syllabus. You can find it in most music bookstores around Canada. Just curious, do you have a teacher? He/she would know.

Alrighty, here goes nothing:

Parallel Motion scales (Hands together): G,E,F,Ab,Db major; G,E,F,G#,C# minor (harm/mel)

Staccato scales (Hands together): E,F major; E minor (harm/mel)

Formula Pattern: E,F major; E minor (harmonic)

Chromatic (Hands together): beginning on E,Db

----
Triads (root and inversions, broken and solid): G,E,F,Ab,Db major; G,E,F,G#,C# minor; add the V-I cadence at the end

Hands separate four note chords (ex: C-E-G-C): G,E,F,Ab,Db major; G,E,F,G#,C# minor; broken only

Dominant and Diminished 7ths for the same keys listed above (dominant for the major, diminished for the minor).

Arpeggios (hands separate): same keys; arpeggios for major, minor chords, dominant and diminished 7ths; for major and minor arpeggios, you need to know the root arpeggio and the first inversion arpeggio

-----------
All scales are in sixteenth notes, quarter note = 60 bpm
Triads at quarter note = 80 bpm (broken triads are in triplet eighths, solids are in quarters)
All Chords broken (4 note, dominant, diminished) at quarter = 88bpm, played in eighth notes.
All Solid Chords (dominant, diminished) at quarter = 72 bpm, played in quarters
Arpeggios at quarter = 92 bpm, played in eighth notes.

Phew, now it's time for bed.  I suggest you get a syllabus, or confirm this stuff with your teacher.  I may have a typo or two, but I'm pretty sure I listed everything that's written in the syllabus currently on my lap  (the new 2008 version of the RCM)

Thank you for taking time to provide that info, Nana. Apologies for not responding sooner; I've been practicing.
