New exam option available in 2019
Following a successful trial in 2017 and 2018, a repertoire-only exam format is now available for most* subjects and instruments from the earliest grade level through to Grade 8. Candidates can do an AMEB exam that simply provides them with feedback and a grading for the pieces they have been working on, without having to prepare and present technical work, aural tests, sight reading or general knowledge.

*The ‘Repertoire’ exam format is not offered in the CPM, Rockschool or For Leisure syllabuses
