lol yes it is complusary its not your teacher making it all up lol..

good luck on ur pratice. i hated mine but it took from 2003-2004 so it took me a long time for me to pass!

She is not making it up.
If you find the grade 5 papers a bit daunting it would be good to go all the way back to grade 1 (even if you find that VERY easy) and work through each grade.
Remember that grade 5 syllabus is 'as in preceding grades with the addition of......'
If you go from the beginning then you plug any potential gaps.
At grade 5 they won't remind you that, for example, your note stems need to go up or down according to their position on the stave... but you will lose marks if you get it wrong.

No, you really do have to do grade 5 theory before you can take ABRSM practical grade 6, unless you take a grade 5 Jazz or Practical Musicianship exam instead

I just found out that I got 88. I'm kind of disappointed...

For Associated Board exams you have to have passed Grade 5 theory to do Grade 6. Do as many practice papers as possible, you will be able to find out your strengths and weaknesses from them.
