[FONT=Courier][SIZE=7][COLOR=purple]Wonderin... How much credit do you get from the royal schools examination for college?

Well I know that grades 6-8 are worth ucas points when applying to uni, but I think when applying to college they simply show that you are have worked to achieve something and help interviewers view you in a positive light.

I know when I applied, the tutor at my interview was very impressed by the number of swish looking certificates in my record of achievement. And of course, grade 5 performance and theory is considered roughly equivalent to a GCSe in music.

i'm not sure...i think colleges recognise ABRSM exams.... coz they set it up...

This page tells you how many UCAS points you get for ABRSM exams...

I did Grade 6 Piano and passed and only got 25 points, pfuh.

But you get more points for that then you would for key skills!

Are these points accepted for ALL courses, or just ones related to music? I've heard it mentioned related to music degrees and related courses, but i'm not sure about other subjects. Anyone know anything more...?
