Guy Danguin's book ("A propos de la clarinet") has one chapter dedicated to this topic, and on how best to prepare for this grueling experience. You might not realize this, but students are given these very difficult pieces only one month before the concours. Danguin's book outlines a week-by-week and day-by-day process whereby these pieces can be mastered. You can count on the French to have a rule book for everything, and the preparation to the Conservastoire concours are no exception.
Naturally, you will repond: "I do not read French!". But you are doing a thesis on an important French institution that have influenced musicians (especially clarinetists) profoundly. So, buy the book, find this relatively small chapter, pick up a dictionary, and explore the French way of force feeding music into innocent victims. You will be amazed.
