Recorded Exams - the Pros, the Cons and what we think…
Pros…
A slightly reduced exam entry fee with no additional travel time or associated costs. for face to face exam entries, students are normally assigned to their closest exam venue with a travel time of up to 60mins by car!
For recorded exams you have opportunity to submit your exam material as soon as you are ready.
You have the opportunity to share your recorded videos with your tutor for feedback before finalising and sending off!
Cons…
You’ll need to record your exam on a device either by yourself or with help from a friend or family member.
For some students, the recording process may recreate a similar pressure to actually playing in front of an examiner.
The recording and submission process may take some time and is likely to be longer than the duration of a face to face exam. Students may need to record the material more than once to make sure you’re happy that your recording is the best you can do and is a good reflection of their playing.
