Less than a week. ARGH. How is everyone else doing? How are you managing your practice and last-minute viva research against other commitments? I'm a wee bit stressed.

Hi crankycaz- Well I can assure you you're not alone! I'm totally panicked. I couldn't sleep last night. and my heart rate is constantly above normal, but it'll be fun right? If I just pass, I will over the moon.Don't worry, judging by previous posts you sound prepared. Just trust yourself! We'll have cause to celebrate when its over, no matter what the result! When is yours on?

So am I.

Practice seems to be OK, but I am worried about the Viva and the Quick Study. I have been having trouble sleeping as well. I just want to get it over with now.

Good luck everybody!

(I'll be in the next lot eekkk!)

Good luck, everyone. Which diplomas are you all taking?

DipABRSM Teaching - if I am better in time...

Can't raise the energy to panic - what will be will be. Either I'm a good enough teacher...or not. I feel that the result is going to depend on my ability to draw on my experience rather than anything amazing that happens on the day, or between now and then.

However, I do need to get my act together because I haven't made a final decision on the grade 6 pieces yet - argh!

Dip ABRSM in 'cello performance. Minor miracle might result in the aforementioned string of letters being appended to my name!

good luck to all.... i'm sure you'll shine and dazzle the examiners....

Best of luck, everyone! SueHM, I hope you get over that nasty cold very soon.

Oh good, though I was the only one! I'm doing the dip in violin performance. I'm just worried I don't know enough for my viva, my pieces will just go how they go, I'm practising them as much as I can. And you never know with sight-reading so yeah...

Anyone else had diploma dreams yet? I can sleep, but keep having odd dreams about the exam. I'm using my teacher's bow for the exam and I dreamt I broke it! Haha, hope that doesn't really happen!
