AMI & Mexico Inspection Practice Test

In a double-time feel, the tempo moves twice as fast because you’re playing through twice as many beats in the same minute. If you start from a base tempo of 90 BPM, switching to double time makes the metronome click at 180 BPM. So 180 BPM is the correct tempo for a double-time cadence when the original tempo is 90 BPM. The other options don’t double the speed: 120 BPM would be a different feel or a different base tempo, 90 BPM keeps the original pace, and 200 BPM is an exaggerated speed not tied to doubling 90.
