Yes, it's frustrating waiting for results, but music exams aren't as time-critical as A level results and rarely have anything life-changing hanging on them....

It is frustrating, but much easier in the holidays when you don't have to see little expectant faces each lesson!
I've been pretty lucky with results never taking more than 2 weeks in the last few years. I think I was due a bit of a wait! Good Luck everyone still waiting - here's hoping... |

My results from week 5 are online, no email or letter about them yet though.
G2 merit - really pleased. His sight-reading has not been good at all (I'm actually annoyed he got 19 in the exam, I was wanting him to do poorer in that and learn his lesson!) but overall he did well. G5 pass - a little disappointed. She's done really well considering she's only 12 and only did her G4 summer last year. It was her decision to enter this time round, we considered waiting until the summer and probably getting a better mark but she gets bored easily and has a lot going on in June. I say I'm disappointed, I'm over the moon that she's done so well for her age and most of her marks were excellent but I'm gutted she only got 20 for one of her pieces - miniature in Dm. I'm guessing it must have been her personal interpretation the examiner didn't like because I thought she played it beautifully, as did her mum (also musician) and her teacher at school. She'll be gutted about that one too unfortunately. |

Another day without any results...anyone else still waiting?
I just don't get how it can take so long? With the cost of the exam so high, couldn't they use some of that money to employ more staff for a few weeks?! |

Another day without any results...anyone else still waiting? I'm still waiting for results from the 28th, which I know is only just over 2 weeks but being home all day and able to check regularly isn't helping! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) |

I know how you feel - waiting for results from the 26th. Not expecting great results. I had the exams at home so got to speak to the examiner at lunch - just got the feeling things hadn't gone well for s couple of pupils. I just want to be put out of my agony asap!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) We're waiting for results from 29th - I agree about being able to check too often. I'm making a rule tomorrow that I only check twice (well, maybe 3 times).

Yes also waiting for the 26th. Frustrating but mine have been pretty quick of late so I suppose I was due a bit of a wait. Good to know so many others are still waiting - proves that it's probably them just being a bit slower than sometimes rather than anything going wrong. Here's to us all getting some good news any day now!

I'm still waiting for the 22nd - so around the same time as you guys!
It'll be time to enter the next lot soon, so lets hope we have the results before then....!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) |
