Have finally rung the Special Visits team and found that the results had been withheld due to an admin mix-up (their fault - not mine!). This has now been resolved and I have the results - NO FAILURES and 3 Distinctions!!!
Thank for your concern and encouragement!

Worth the wait, willobie!

I do wonder whether these aberrations are down to the AB's gradual introduction of their new computerised exam entry system...

QUOTE(violincjj @ Mar 14 2012, 07:40 PM)
I have a Gd 7 violin 134 and a Gd 2 violin 102 and I am most thrilled about the 102! The Gd 7 is incredibly talented and hard working and deserved her great mark but the Gd 2 is a kid who loves his violin and has almost insurmountable learning difficulties. He has slogged away for a very long time and insisted he wanted to do the exam, we timed it so he could do the old pieces with the easier scales that came in for 2012. On the day he played OK but totally lost it in the scales, he just cannot store all the patterns in his head. Sight reading and aural went out of the window too although he can do them when he is calm. The fact that he loves his instrument and is determined to play it even though his school friends think it uncool is wonderful to me and counts more than any marks.
Great news! When did they do their exams?

This was at a Special Visit on Feb 24th.

Yes - I seem to send every waking moment checking online. Surely they must be ready by now..?

Blimey its crazy that you've not received results yet after 3 weeks - I'd be the same as you checking online all the time
Got results yesterday for my first Grade 1 piano pupil just 8 days after the exam. They got 123 a Merit which they were very happy with
Got the results from my 3 students 6 march. 2 merits and and pass for the one who would have got a distinction if she'd done some practice before 2 weeks till the exam date. (She passed though so all good with me!)
Was worried about results this time, but have just got them (only a week to the day after the exams - impressive!) and my students got 5 distinctions, 4 merits and 2 passes between them. They are all delighted and it is one of the best parts of the job to phone people with good news like this when they have all worked hard.

Congratulations to everyone on lots of good results so far.
I'm now on the waiting bench for my three pupils who did exams this session - all at different venues with the last one this morning doing AB who came out with positive comments apart from fluffing the first scale. I'm rather anxious about my two TG ones but hope to get my first TG one from 12th March very soon and the second one, which I'm most worried about, around the end of the week - otherwise I'll be biting my nails!

Musical son got his grade 8 sax result today. I'd told him he hadn't taken it seriously enough and that the expectation at grade 8 was likely to be different from previous grades, in order to prepare him for disappointment.
He got 142 - his best ever sax result. Shows what I know!!

And for anyone measuring the time to get results - his exam was taken at a centre on Thursday 15th March, Results were on the website Friday 23rd March. In line with the results timetable.

Thanks for the information on results' time. Sounds not too bad. I'm on the bench now, and hoping for results before the Easter break.

My pupil who did Grade 3 piano last Saturday got a distinction.
She was the one I was most anxious about because she only really knuckled down to working hard in the last 3 weeks leading up to the exam, particularly scales and the exercises (TG). She was really nervous on the day too. I did expect her to pass and I thought if everything went well, she might get a merit. Now I'm questioning whether my assessment was too harsh or whether the examiner was quite generous! Anyway, I'm hugely relieved and now we can look at some fun, new repertoire for the summer term!

Just peeked online for results and my practical one's aren't there yet, which is no surprise as they only took their exams last Wednesday (yes I know I'm impatient!)
However!
Theory exam results have appeared on-line. One Grade 2 with distinction and her younger sister took Grade 1 and got a merit.
Really pleased for both of them as they work so hard at all their music.
Off you go to find your results then! Enjoy!
Cheers Catherine x

I was very surprised to find the theory results online today - less than 4 weeks!
I only had one pupil this time - a Grade 3, who got 85 but was really hoping for a distinction, so she'll be disappointed, I'm afraid.
I have a pupil taking Grade 6 piano tomorrow, so fingers crossed that she gets her results before Easter.

I had been obsessively checking the online results page for a Grade 1 exam on 15th March. Nothing online, but the postie just brought me an A4 envelope with a Distinction result. Yippee!
Well done Lorraine
Mine only took their exam yesterday - both Grade 1. I don't expect either of them to do brilliantly but just a pass will do. One said she messed up her scales, the other said something went wrong in all three pieces and she had to restart one of them. Hope scales, sight reading and aural (usually quite reasonble) will make up for not so good pieces.
Two and a half weeks and no result yet. I was hoping she would get it in her lesson today, but she was greeted with "No results yet" before she could get the door open properly, so teacher must have been bombarded all day with the question.

A grade 1 theory merit - excellent timing. The owner of the merit is going to take his grade 2 piano tomorrow, so it's a nice morale booster at just the right moment.

These seem to be a set of very good results all round.
These seem to be a set of very good results all round.
Well, a very generous examiner today (TG) so I ended up with passes for my Grade 4 and very, very dodgy Grade 6, and merits for my Grade 5, other Grade 6 and Grade 5 Jazz (all flute exams). So I'm pleased for them, but a bit sad for another Grade 6 of mine who took her exam a fortnight ago at a different centre and just scraped through - she would have done far better with today's examiner.
Still, they were all hard workers who deserved their good results for the effort they put in, so maybe I should stop carping and feel pleased for them.
