How often are Abrsm exams held?
Notes. DipABRSM, LRSM and FRSM diplomas take place in two exam sessions each year. We hope to be able to open the following live Practical exam booking periods as planned.
Is Abrsm Grade 8 equivalent to a level?
The simple answer is: yes (but it's not quite that simple). Grade 8 piano is classed as a Level 3 qualification in the UK. Level 3 qualifications include A-levels, amongst other qualifications. This means that Grade 8 is the equivalent of an A-level in that it falls in the same classification bracket as A-Levels.
What time does Abrsm booking open?
Due to continuing Covid restrictions we are postponing the opening of the booking period for Diploma/Practical exams.
