Good luck.

When I did my grade 7 theory I had been in hospital as a day patient the day before.
Only local anaesthetic but I was not very comfortable doing the exam.
When I did Grade 8 my dad was in hospital having heart bypass. sad.gif

If you know your stuff and revise you will be ok..... I got distinction both times biggrin.gif

I have the exam on Saturday too. Seriously don't panic. My piano teacher told me that during the exam, don't do the exam all the way through without a few minutes in between questions to look up, look around and just generally breathe. If you try to keep your head down and go through all the questions, not look up, not take your eyes off your page, your head gets more and more overworked. Honestly, TAKE IT NICE AND SLOW. Relax on friday, don't look at you books for the day, organize pens, pencils rubbers the night before and leave it by the door. get to bed early and get plenty of sleep. And lastly, eat before you go into the exam. Carbohydrates are best, bread, pasta, rice etc. Its slow releasing energy so it shoud feed your brain for the two hours. Try not to eat alot of sugar, like sweets or jam as all the sugar will make you jittery and nervous.
But above anything else, just do your best, and I'm sure your best is more than enough. Please don't panic.

Good luck, but I'm reasonably sure you won't need it as most people seem to do pretty well in theory cause we all get so used to taking written exams!

I was v. put off in my grade 5 theory in november 2002 because my little sister (grade 1 at the same time) got thrown out for talking to her friend (she was only little... blink.gif ) and I had to stay in there and finish the exam.
I worried about her so much and still got distinction!
