Every time I read the title of this thread, instead of 'Ab Ucas', I see it as 'Ubi Caritas'. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

It's been a while since we last looked at this. Does anyone wish to update their scores, or add themselves in as a new entry? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

ABFORA: Grade 4 flute pass = 55 Grade 5 violin merit = 85 Grade 5 piano distinction = 90 Total 230 ABUCAS Grade 8 theory pass = 55 Grade 8 prac. mus. merit = 70 Grade 8 recorder distinction = 75 Grade 8 singing distinction= 75 Total 275 ok, well the only update that counts since this lot is that my flute score is now a Grade 5 distinction. So that moves me up to ABFORA = 265 ABUCAS = 275 And with last year's grade 6 flute shifting the balance from ABFORA to ABUCAS I now have ABFORA Grade 5 violin merit = 85 Grade 5 piano distinction = 90 Total = 175 ABUCAS Grade 6 flute distinction = 45 Grade 8 theory pass = 55 Grade 8 prac. mus. merit = 70 Grade 8 recorder distinction = 75 Grade 8 singing distinction= 75 Total = 320 |

I haven't taken as many exams as I have mustered achievements, if that makes sense (grades are expensive), but for me:
ABFORA G4 merit violin - 70 G5 theory pass - 70 ABUCAS G8 dist viola - 75 G7 pass recorder - 40 G6 pass flute - 25 Those last two might not be entirely fair, though, as I took them with boards that didn't award merits or distinctions, you passed or didn't pass. The RMSM-TEQ ones are to do with your pay grade so you take a qualification related to the primary role you have in the forces, so musicians take music exams. There is no point awarding high, middle and low passes, as even a scrape pass gets you over the line, they just advised you to sit the next one up ASAP. If I'd known the system I could have had my TEQ1 instead (grade 8) by entering on violin. |

I don't have that many exam results so I'm quite low on the UCAS points. Can my A-level Music count? I'd get another 100 for that!
ABFORA = 40 Classical Guitar Grade 2 - Merit - 40 ABUCAS = 120 Piano Grade 6 - Distinction - 45 Pop Vocals Grade 8 - Distinction - 75 |
