I am entered for Grade 6 Theory.
I hope to Grade 7 Theory in summer, which will mean that my total time spent in exams in May-June 2012 is going to be just short of 1000 minutes!
Oh, school...
Wurlitzer, I sat and passed Grade 6 theory last November and am now in the full throws of preparing to sit Grade 7 in the Summer. You will find the transition between these two very small and I was very relieved to discover this after the huge jump that 6 presented from G5.
You still need to retain the knowledge from G6 for 7 (obviously), but for me, the first and third questions of the G7 papers appear simpler. Q2 is straightforward as they give you a lot to start from. And Qs 4 & 5 follow straight on from G6 but with the added possibility of Neopolitan 6ths, secondary dominant 7ths and diminished 7th chords.
Let me know if you want to compare notes as you go - please feel free to PM me at any time!
