Hi all, so unfortunately, I have failed the sight-reading section of dipABRSM when I took my exam last year (Jun 2011). When's the last time I can retake this section before I have to prepare another whole recital and sit the exam again?
Thanks in advance

I think you have to do it within 3 years from the session you took the dip but I would double-check with the board. I asked them the same question some time last year but it's worth checking that they haven't changed any regulations on this!

Thanks, that's as far as what I heard.
So does this mean the last time I can retake is Jun 2013 or Jun 2014?

I think June 2014, but I have to say that if it were me I would just want to get it over with ASAP, especially since the QS part is so short and is heavily influenced by luck (in terms of what kind of piece you are given - mine happened to be easy
).

It's just that I'm in the middle of a very big exam this year (finals before I go into university/freshman)
