18 Access (for Candidates with Specific Needs)
a ABRSM endeavours to make its exams accessible to all candidates, although it should be understood that, while the examiner is informed of candidates’ needs, no special concession or allowance in marking is made, and each candidate’s performance is judged according to the standard normally expected. ABRSM publishes separate guidelines covering provisions for blind and partially-sighted candidates, deaf and hearing-impaired candidates and candidates with other specific needs. Where ABRSM’s guidelines are not applicable, or a candidate has particular physical access needs, each case is considered on an individual basis. Guidelines and any further information are available online or from the Representative.
