I've got pupils doing them today. However, I've often thought it would be fun to do the first five grades in a two hour period. That way you could get five distinctions in one day! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I've no spare cash to do it and I presume the Board wouldn't encourage that type of thing anyway.

Good luck if you are doing it this morning.

I hope the condemned man has had a hearty breakfast.

Best of luck everyone, may all your questions be revised and prepared ones.

Good luck to all on the forums taking theory exams today (especially to MrB, who sounds as though he'll need it). (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Well, they're in there now. Am hoping someone will post what the Grade 5 questions were as I've got 2 people doing it, and by the time I speak to them they've forgotten all about it - would love to know. I know one girl who came to me for a couple of lessons before the exam who has a reader for the exam as she's dyslexic. The reader is going to be her trombone teacher, so I'm hoping that after the exam she will give the pupil some idea of how she's done. Poor kid's failed it once and needs it to pursue her chosen career.


Wonder if mrbouffant is smiling and happy, or sweating and swearing and wishing he'd done some work!!!!! I'm sure he'll let us know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

What ever do you mean?!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

what a difference sitting the exam at my local centre. I did gr6 at Westminster and there were at least two exam halls on the go with probably >150 candidates..

I rolled up to the one here to find about 15 candidates in all, spread out in an enormous hall but my bad luck meant I had the sniffing child from h3ll behind me. Aaaagh! I was the oldest there by over 20 years and indeed the invigilator seemed to know me from somewhere... "I thought it was you" he said "I saw the name on the list.." LOL

I skimmed over the paper and went straight to Q5. I found myself working backwards through the paper which was kinda weird but each to their own, right?!

I enjoyed it in a strange kind of way. No guarantee of a pass of course, but apart from Q2 which was not in the form I prefer, it seemed OK... Oh well, time to kick back for 6w or so now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Hope everyone else had a fun morning!!!!

I'm impressed (I think)... if you are back so soon I'd predict either a high mark or a total disaster... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

That's what I thought - to be back home and posting on here, you must have got through the paper very quickly. When I did Grade 6 I was struggling to get it all done in the 3 hours.
