Our children had their exams on the 4th and 5th March, has anyone that had their exams around this time had their results yet?

We're going on holiday soon and it would be so great to know how they did before we go!!

I had a pupil (not a child) who took her exam on 11th March and got the email yesterday (a Saturday!) to view the results! Pretty quick!

That is remarkably quick, willobie. My one pupil this session took her exam on 6 March and I received the mark sheet and certificate yesterday - a surprise as I had had no email notification! Results are usually quicker coming through at the beginning of the exam sessions - one reason that I always ask for week 1.

Goodness, some of these have been really quick!! our children took theirs through school and we've been told they can take up to 6 weeks to come back. I don't want to hassle the administrator who deals with it but the school presumably has access to an online way of checking to see if results are in. There were quite a few children taking exams over three days so perhaps this affects the time. Patience patience I guess!!

I think they may have exaggerated the timescale. The longest we've ever waited was 5 weeks over the Christmas period when AB shut down for two weeks. Generally the results come throuhg in about 2-3 weeks.

Hope you don't have much longer to wait.

My daughter's results once took 7 weeks- but she'd done them at Wells Cath School and there was a problem/ complaint and the board had to investigate......

Daughter's results from 9th March came in today. She passed her Gr 1 piano. She was disappointed with her 118...... but she only started the pieces in January and it was a rush as we decided to enter her (we being piano teacher and 1) to try to avoid clashing with her Gr 4 violin next term!!!!! I'm rather pleased she passed as it was a bit of a rush and she's not a natural pianist!!!!! She did well in her sight reading- hurray!!!! She must have started on the right note- being a violinist she thinks of note as being 2 on the A string and that's not very helpful on the piano!!!!!

Good luck to those still waiting and congratulations to those who have their results.

My daughter took her Grade 7 violin on the 17 March. She is anxious for the results. Hope they come soon!

Well done those who already have results!

We are digging in for a long wait. My daughter took Grade 5 singing and Grade 2 piano this time - at school at the beginning of this week. So, no results until she's back at school after Easter..

I've just got Jamie's Grade 5 Cornet results. He got 113. He got merit on his pieces but a marginal fail for aural and scales. To his teacher's amazement he passed the sight reading.
I'm pleased with this result. He did is Grade 2 exactly 2 years ago and he isn't very keen on music so it is a good result.
Waiting for Beth's sax results and she hasn't even taken her Grade 3 piano yet. That is on Tuesday.

Well done to Jamie, though I'm sorry to hear he isn't keen on music; maybe he'll change as he gets older and be glad he can play an instrument.

Fingers crossed for Beth.

Well done to Jamie - that's a brilliant result, especially for a reluctant musician (I've got one of those smile.gif). His pieces must've been pretty solid merit scores, so I hope he's inspired to carry on.

I'm probably overstating it. Compared to Beth he isn't as keen and he isn't as committed to practice. He loves playing in groups. He plays the cornet in a band in school, in a band with Staffordshire Performing Arts and with Amington Junior Band. All of which he really enjoys. He just doesn't like the boring bits.
He is very keen to continue with both the piano and the cornet and I hope music is a part of his life. I think it will be. But he'd rather read than practice.

He is. I think he is in the middle of a big leap in his maturity towards music. He is suddenly doing much better at learning new work on the piano.
It is so good to see him do well.
