The Other Milestone

Well said Il Shan. Next up is some regulations from ABRSM:
  • Candidates may use their discretion regarding indications or markings (particularly editorial) in the music – e.g. metronome marks, fingering, bowing, phrasing, the interpretation of ornaments, etc. – which need not be strictly observed. Where no such indications are present in the music, candidates should use their discretion to achieve a musical performance.
  • Candidates may not bring any unauthorized material or equipment into the examination room, and all mobile phones/pagers etc. must be switched off. Any candidate infringing this rule may be disqualified.
  • In the Practical grade examinations, out of a possible 150 marks, 100 are required to achieve a Pass, 120 to pass with Merit, and 130 for Distinction

And I think I read somewhere that "Remember, the examiner looks forward to listening to you" or something. Yeah. So RELAX. And "smile when you enter the room. This will boost your confidence during the examination". Think I forgot where it is, so can't copy and paste from the website.

Most essentially, REMEMBER TO BRING ALL YOUR ORIGINAL SCORES!

Good luck, god bless.
