I will NEVER complain again as it just seems to hold the result up. (We need the results for a school application that needed to be in today and I can't complete it now. AB won't tell me the result over the phone (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) ) We will be going back to Trinity Guildhall next term.

I can understand exceptions, but it is not impossible for an examining body to give a date or a window when results will be made available. Like kixmusic, here we sit and wait, with no idea when results should even be expected. Can't complain, because of course we were never given even a month when results should be available. (There are guidelines in the UK exam regs, but nothing at all in the international exam regs.) I'm horrified to read in several posts of foreign theory candidates waiting 10 weeks for the results of a short-answer written test - even in countries with numerous candidates and/or closer to the UK. If the results aren't here in time for the next round of exam applications, I imagine that TG will be getting our custom as well as kixmusic's. Now I think I'll go away for a while, until I can think of something nice to say! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Sometimes a phone call can inject a little urgency into the process, so maybe after your call yesterday, the results will appear today. Sorry, noodle, I wasn't very clear about the school application. We are applying for a music scholarship for next academic year and thats what we needed the result for. Euphonium is my daughter's second study instrument and I don't yet know if we can go for a joint first study (she is doing G7 trombone next term) as we don't know if she has passed her G5 Euph (minimum level required for the scholarship)

I complained about how an exam was conducted but I waited until we had the result (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ph34r.gif) I knew the result would be needed. I think it's about 4 weeks since the formal proceedure started but I've not heard anything other than it's being looked at. We've still not got our results (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Advanced Member Group: Members Posts: 800 Joined: 5-September 04 Member No.: 2034	Our exams were on 7th December and the results were out before Christmas - though I've only just got them because they went to the school who entered them. I was astonished that my grade 2 oboist, who I expected to get a pass, merit if lucky, got 130!! I heard quite a bit of her playing through the door and didn't think she played that well! Ah well, compensation for the times when you think they'll get a merit/distinction and they only get a pass, I suppose....

THe QA manager wasn't in until today and they didn''t start back until the 2nd Jan I'm bored of waiting now!! Do you think we should tell them to forget and ask for our money back (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ? It seems results from the 13th were available last Thursday so it's nearly a week later now (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . Maybe there is some sort of problem with one of them.
