The repertoire exam format is an exam option available for preliminary to grade 8 as an alternative to comprehensive (traditional) grade exams. 

Aural tests, sight reading, general knowledge and technical work are not examined in this type of exam. The candidate instead performs a program of four or five works only (depending on the grade and syllabus requirements), and the result achieved is based purely on the performance of the program in relation to the syllabus requirements. 

This exam format is ideal for candidates who may experience anxiety around the interactive sections of a comprehensive exam. 

Repertoire exams can be taken as a face-to-face exam in all practical grade exam sessions or as a video submission in session 20 or session 21.
