A fabulous result - well done emsoboe!



An equally fabulous result - well done sarahk and pupil!

WEll done..... some great results coming through...
The first distinction is so exciting isn't it sarahk?

Yes , really exciting and my students screamed down the phone!!!

I'm starting to feel my confident judging pupils levels now which makes the whole process more comfortable.

Sarah

Just got my pupils' results back, 2 passes, 2 merits and 1 distinction. Mixed feelings really as the 2 passes really deserved merits.

Phew! Just got the results online! She got 118 - if only she had managed to get some of her scales right...

W

It's still a good set of results - well done!



Well done to teacher and pupil!

What a relief for you! It's amazing how sometimes the ones we're in despair over do much better than expected.

Got the last of my three TG candidates' results last night: a high merit for Grade 8 (84) so I'm very pleased with this lot.

Well done!
My girl did pretty well on her pieces in the end - but only got 11 for her scales!!! I only found out after I entered her that she got 103 for her grade 1...

W

I had an experience like that a couple of years ago. A new-to-me Grade 5 candidate was still struggling with her scales with only a couple of weeks to go to her exam when she told me that she'd only got 7 for them at Grade 4.

I still have two more to do exams on 12th December (special visit) so here's hoping...

W

i hope the theory results come out tomorrow. just looked online and they've added february 09 to the list...!! ooh my first entrants - ahh!!

Just got my results - 3 passes and a merit. Still got my 100% pass rate.

Well done all

Tasha

oh...I don't know why I got it into my head that it was 4-6 weeks...! ahh well!

The letter and regs, etc, all say six weeks. For the last couple of years (because that's all I know about), the results start coming out at about 4 weeks. BUT, the results for theory don't come out all at once - despite everyone taking the exam on the same day. They come out broadly in alphabetical order by centre number. I had a centre ID starting witha B, and my two theory results arrived bang on 4 weeks. Other people down in the Ts and Xs had to be patient a while longer...

Yes.... my centre begins with a Y and we are always way, way later than everyone elses. I get very frustrated.......... Still.... it won't stop me beginning to look from today.....

A couple of years ago, several Forummers all sat Grade VI theory in the same session, albeit at our local centres. The results were released alphabetically by centre number, and having sat the exam at an X centre, the agony became worse when people with early centre numbers received their results over a week before I received mine.

Shouldn't be too long for me, then, as I'm in Durham.

oooh! my centre is A! i hope they come soon - i have such high expectations for this exam...i hope they have done well!



congrats on everyones results so far - i got my grade 2 piano students back (exactly seven days after the exam) she got 114

Jolly good, Twinklefingers

**Goes to see which centre beginning with A is closest to home**

good time to ask, actually, if there is a list of the centres? I'd like to see if there are others close by as my students practical exams have been allocated to where I did my grade 8 - and I really really didn't like the piano - it sounded SO horrid - there were tears after... My students have all commented on the sound of it being off-putting.

Well done..... I'm getting hopeful.... my students did their exams 7 days ago......

Just got my Trinity Guildhall exam results back:

1 grade 2 cornet distinction
1 grade 3 cornet pass
1 grade 3 tuba merit
1 grade 4 trombone pass
1 grade 5 cornet merit
1 grade 5 cornet distinction
1 grade 6 tenor horn merit
1 grade 6 tenor horn distinction
1 grade 6 euphonium distinction
1 grade 7 trumpet distinction

Very pleased for them all. They took the exams on tuesday so just waiting now for my AB practical results and the blessed theory results.

Sorry to jump in here but wondered if you could use your experience of previous years and also how things are shaping up this year to predict how long we are likely to have to wait for the result of an ABRSM practical exam taken on Tues 2nd ?
I suppose the big question is "will it be out before the end of term or will my child have to sweat it till New Year?"

Great results..... well done to you and your pupils....

Nice set of results, KixMusic, well done

Well done KixMusic!

Top results. Congratulations to you and your students.

Congratulations to you and your students Kixmusic!

Just read my results online ...

Two grade ones and a grade six; all piano and all of them got merits.

The child who thought she was asked for scales in the wrong 'format' which I mentioned on another thread got 128. It is not clear whether the scale thing affected her marks - she scored 17 in scales, tending to do better in other areas (17 for aural eg) so it is to be hoped that she didn't lose 2 marks over the mistake! I imagine all will be clear when I see the report: anyway the board must have satisfied themselves that all was well since I guess they would not have issued the marks otherwise.

Congrats to your pupils maggiemay.
I am thrilled to just get my practical results on line...... 133 for Gr 1 and 126 for Gr 3. Really pleased with my Gr 3.... she got 29, 28 and 27 for her pieces. Unfortunatley she really messed up her aural and her sight reading. I have been told she is dyslexic but the mum won't get her diagnosed as she doesn't want her labelled so I can't get her any extra time for sight reading...... And my Grade 1 has only been playing for 2 terms.....

Hello!

My student's marks for the latest session ranged from 108 - 140. The 108 was the only pass mark, all the others either passed with Merit or Distinction. The child who passed with 108 is , however , quite talented, but chose not to practice, and could have done soooo much better.
However, I was absolutely thrilled with the 140 for an 8 year old at Grade 3!!! (All piano)

Now just the wait for the Theory results!

Regards

Emory

That is a fantastic mark Emory. I bet the 8 year old is chuffed to bits and you can bask in reflected glory. To do so well so young shows real promise, I wonder how young she will be when she takes grade 8. I hope you are keeping her theory up to date too.

Thank-you - I don't really know if the child's parents realised just how well he had done, so I asked them to come and see me to discuss the results! I think they thought that he had failed!!

I was very pleased with this mark, the child had worked hard, and is very talented, and having only a small teaching practice now, it really encouraged me as a teacher.

Thanks Jod, yes , the child did Grade 1 theory this session, which apparently was quite easy(according to him!!) so hopefully the mark will reflect this!

Wow, congratulations to you and your pupils

I heard the result on Dec.4 for an exam I accompanied 8 days earlier, so I think it's very likely you will get the result before the end of term, though reading other people's reports further up this thread they haven't all been quite that quick.

Well done to team maggiemay!



A great set of results, well done!

Well done to all teachers and pupils on their excellent results

I did my grade 8 wednesday 26th ans STILL haven't got my results. Not even online yet..grrrrrrr! I hate the wait! I'm even dreaming ar shall I say having nightmares over getting them !

ahhh!! finally....Theory Results!! 96 and 88 i am so excited - they've got lessons tomorrow and I cannot wait to tell them!

Got my theory results back from the Chepstow/Forest of dean Centre: 1 merit @ G2, 12 Distinctions @ G2.
Just waiting for the one G5 result from the Monmouth centre now. Will porbably be ages as it is in Wales!

Well done to both of you, and your respective pupils!

Argh! This is killing me!!

Theory results just in for Cambridge centre. 2 Grade 1's - 1st got 87 and the 2nd got 91.

Really good results from every student this time!

Sarah

At last! Theory results :

Grade 1 2 x Distinction, 2 x Pass
Grade 5 1 x Pass

Phew!! The Grade 5 was distinctly dodgy - exactly 18 hours work (ie lesson time only) from a student who did ZERO homework!

Just got three results in - a Grade 1, a Grade 2 and a Grade 3. The Grade 1 girl (aged 7) got a distinction with 136!!! The Grade 2 boy got a merit with 121 which I'm wildly excited about as it was his first exam and when I took him on a year ago he could barely play a note in tune or otherwise..

The Grade 3 girl passed with 117 and I know she'll be very upset about this as she got a distinction with her Grade 1 a couple of years ago. However, she hardly did any real practice until the couple of weeks before the exam so she guessed what was coming. But at the end of the day 117 is only 3 marks off a merit so she shouldn't be too disappointed and the good bit is that she got 18/18 for her aural, which is fantastic. On that note, the boy got 18/18 for aural as well and the Grade 1 girl got 17/18 so I don't hold with teachers saying aural is just too difficult to teach or that there isn't time to prepare for aural tests in school-based lessons - there is if you integrate it into lessons and make it a priority rather than an annoying add-on.

But anyway I can't WAIT to pass on the distinction result as the mother seemed to have lost faith in me (or in her daughter's ability to even pass the exam) in the run-up to the day, and even considered withdrawing her child! Wow they are going to be so happy, as are the merit boy and his mum! Yay!!!

Was this Gloucester Sue?

No, Cheltenham

First time ever I had the email in time before I viewed the result. 138 for grade 8 recorder. Breakdown:

Sammartini 28
Berkely 29
Bruggen 26 (mucked up, very unhappy)
Scales 18 (poor as well)
Sight reading 19
Aural 18 (first time ever)

Oh, well done, Neil! I'm sure you should forgive yourself the Bruggen - 26 is still a very good mark.
Congratulations!

Excellent result! Well done!
