on clarinet, grade 5 got 128 (merit) is it relatively easy to get this result at grade 5 or is it hard? thanks

You've done really well !! Bravo !
A merit is a super mark, you must have played your pieces really well and had a good overall knowledge !!

That's a fantastic result & only 2 marks away from a distinction so you've done brilliantly!

Well done.

This is an excellent result - well done. Check out the ABRSM statistics (I think on the Press pages of the main board) and see just how well you've done.

Good luck for the future.

You should be very proud! I got awful marks in my clarinet exams, something like 103, 106, 105 in the last three i did, a few years ago.

Well done
