Just wondering what is the longest you've known results to take & how much regional variation is there? Exam session finished here on 25 June. School exams were on 20 June, mine was 21st June & we've not heard anything yet.
In March they were very prompt -12 to 14 days maximum.
I see a number of people on the forums took exams after those dates & have received results.

I've just looked in my diary for last year. My Grade 7 was on the 7th July (maybe that's why I felt so bad yesterday

) and I got the result around 4 weeks later because I remember phoning my piano teacher from Dorset where we were on holiday. I also remember phoning him 2 years before about my son's Grade 5, which took a similar amount of time. His (my piano teacher's) results always seem to take a bit longer than mine do.

Surely your fingernails aren't allowed to grow if you play the piano!
I hope your results come soon Andy-p-f - fingers crossed they're taking their time to add in all the extra marks you got for sheer brilliance.

That would be lovely Fred but extremely unlikely

Generally I get my results in 2-3 weeks but I did once have to wait over a month. When I queried it with ABRSM they said that a couple of the mark sheets were having to be re-written (though I never did find out why). I suppose that could result in quite a hold-up given that, as I understand it, they post all results to one applicant at the same time. So, if one form has a problem, they're all delayed.
I would have thought if it gets to a month and you haven't heard, it would be worth ringing HQ and asking.

Likewise.
I don't think I've ever had to wait more than that. 14-15 days is about average.

My exams were 2 weeks ago today. I'd normally expect to hear by the end of this week, though at Easter I waited nearly 4 weeks.

I remember I had to wait 6 months for my grade 1 results, I can't remember what happened to make it that long though. I was thoroughly fed up of waiting by the time they got here!
