Has anyone got exam results yet?

If you have, can you post the date of your exam and when you got the result (and also the result if you don't mind telling). I'm just interested to see how long they're taking as I'm getting really nervous!!

So am I, how long have you been waiting for...my exam was on the 5th

Took my jazz clarinet exam on 6th March - received it 22nd March online (133).

Well done!!

took my exam 24th March and awaiting results.

me too

I took mine on the 16th and am worried that I'm not going to have got my results before the easter holidays. I'm not sure I could cope with having to wait another 2 weeks.

I took my exam the day before, and have just received my results (126).

Haven't got the certificate and marksheet yet as the results were online.

I got my Grade 1 Piano results today. Finally. I got 116. I could have done better but I'm glad I passed.

Well done Ladyelven. A good solid pass.

I just passed grade 5 with 116 too, but hey a pass is a pass is a pass!

When are the theory results from 1st March due?

Should approximately be another two weeks worth of waiting (fingers crossed)

I'm sure we got the winter ones about 4 1/2 weeks after the exam. Hopefully it won't be long!

Well done to all!

Just got back from my lesson and my teacher had got my results. I passed Grade 5 with merit!! Whooo..

Yay, well done, that's great!!!

No sign of mine yet, though they did say three weeks and it's only been 12 days! Argh I hate waiting!!

Well done!

126 for G7 viola

That's great, congratulations!!!

Well done everyone.

Bobifier, you're a Grade 7 mark twin to my son, who got his alto sax mark today.

Well done to Bobifier, and to Andante's son.

124 Merit (whoo!) and it took 9 days.

I'm so glad I passed.

Well done!! I've been looking out for your result with interest. Good on you hope my daughter can do as well!

Congratulations to everyone else too!

Congratulations to andante's son and littleladey87!!!

Well done to MM, bob, A-I-C's son, and a huge WOOOOHOOOO to July!

Congrats everyone!

I did grade 5 theory on the 1st March... haven't got my results yet so i will have to wait untill after the hols too..

Ah - waiting can be terrible - we will keep our fingers crossed for you though

Does where you live matters a lot?

Cos I have been looking ard the forum for the expected waiting time, which I concluded is between 1 to 3 weeks.

However, as I am in Singapore (Asia Pacific), I heard that it could take 3 - 4 months?!!!

Is that true? Im so eager to know my results. =P

I did my grade 5 theory on the 1st of March and got the result today! 169 yay i passed! i failed with 160 the first time! now i can do my grade 8 singing!

Well done!

That's what I was thinking!

I'm guessing that lalala may have meant 60 and 69!

ha ha! yes i did thanks sarah-flute! is grade 6 theory very much harder do you know?

Grade 6 is totally different.
If you are considering it I'd suggest swotting up a bit more on the grade 5 first until you can reliably score 80+ on past papers. This way the foundations will be more secure.

Which parts of the grade 5 did you have most difficulty with?

I found the transposition (just minor thirds) very difficult! I just couldn't picture it on the piano and I only went down two semitones instead of three! I ended up from B flat major at G# minor, and thought something must have been wrong! The annoying thing was a minor third transposition turned up on both papers I sat! I managed to get 0 in that section the 1st time (haven't got the breakdown of my marks yet this time so I don't know how it went in that section this time.) I also find intervals quite difficult, especially as I only began learning theory at the start of this year for the first time. Things like naming chords are absolutely fine. Also just another thing, does anyone know any good websites which may help me to prepare for some of the grade 8 oral tests?

Thanks.

Try Hofnote.

I didn't think Hofnote did theory?

I think Lalala was asking about grade 8 aural.

Just got my grade 8 piano results- 128! wooooo! I thought I was going to fail because I felt like I played so badly on the day!
lalala- I found grade 8 aural really hard too, but I just got my family to help me do a little bit every day, and it is only worth 18 marks in the exam anyway

Congratulations. Great result

I know what you mean about the aural; I've just done grade 8 too on flute and failed miserably in the aural part. At least I did well on the rest of it, just scraping a distinction.
Last year I took grade 8 and was under so much pressure with GCSEs etc. that I didn't do so well in it. I got 123 and was disapointed. I kind of expected it, as my playing was terrible on the day, nerves got the better of me. Retaking a year later proved to be good, I felt much better about the exam as a whole, especially the playing, which was the main reason for retaking it. I made sure to take a bottle of water in with me and took a sip before each piece. The venue was better too, in a church, where the accoustics were great. I feel I can take the next step onto the DipABRSM knowing that I got a good result in the gr.8.

Have you thought about what you want to do next?

I got my grade 7 violin on the 31st and i got distinction
and my grade 5 piano came on the 29th and i got distinction also!

Wow. Two fantastic results.

That's great, congratulations!!!

But your signature says you have grade 8 violin and grade 6 piano.
