Split Level 10 Practical Examinations
Students may choose to take the Level 10 practical examination in two separate segments: one consisting entirely of repertoire; the other consisting of technical requirements (including etudes), ear tests, and sight reading.
• The division of material in the split Level 10 examination cannot be altered.
• The two segments may be completed in any order.
• Both segments of the split Level 10 examination must be completed before registering for any supplemental examinations.
• Both segments of the split Level 10 examination and any supplemental examinations must be completed within two years of the initial examination segment.
Students must complete the corequisite theory examinations within five years of the initial practical examination segment.
Students who have taken a complete Level 10 examination and have achieved 70 percent in the repertoire section are permitted to register for a split Level 10 examination in order to improve their mark in the technical requirements, ear tests, and sightreading sections. The repertoire mark from the complete Level 10 examination will count towards the student’s official mark.
Only students who take the complete Level 10 examination (without the split) will be eligible to receive awards.
Supplemental Examinations
Students seeking to improve their official mark for Level 10 may take up to three supplemental examinations.
• Supplemental examinations must be completed within two years of the original examination.
• Supplemental examinations are available during regular in-person examination sessions or remotely at any time.
• Students in Level 10 may repeat any three sections of a practical examination: repertoire, technical requirements (including etudes), or musicianship (ear tests and sight reading).
• To be eligible for a supplemental examination in Level 10, students must have achieved a minimum mark of 65 overall.
Students must complete the corequisite theory examinations within five years of the original practical examination.
