ABS,

My advice is to try and stay calm and act confident, and eat a banana before the exam - they calm down your nerves!

Good luck! Make sure you give us some feedback on how the exam went.

Cheers,
Car Expert

Never mind a banana I think I'll be swigging whiskey before my clarinet grade 8 on december 9th! After the chaos I've had leading up to it! lol!
In case anyone missed my post in the general forum my music teacher's hand seized up (cant move at all!) four days ago and was told by the doctor that he couldnt play for my exam!!! That was with 11 days to go! Luckily this morning I found another pianist to play for me tho so it's all good now!

Anyhoo I'll give the banana a go Car Expert! Thanks for the tip!

Hi ABS

Everyone has to start somewhere. All of us have a "first ever" exam. But it will be OK, honest.

Your teacher wouldn't encourage you to take it unless you had a jolly good chance of passing.

Look at it as a chance to show the examiner what you can do - they will want to pass you if they can.

Very good luck.

Cheers

Katyjay

My form tutors daughter did hers last week so that made it better when she told me.
Its tommorow. *weird face* (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif)
