What happens if I need to re-start a piece or a technical exercise from the beginning?

Graded Music Exams > Exam content / procedure

Restarts will only be permitted if candidates are less than a third of the way through a piece or technical exercise.

Candidates will not be permitted more than one re-start during the performance of the pieces, and more than two re-starts during the Technical Exercises.

All re-starts may be reflected in the marking, with the exception of a first (or only) re-start in the Technical Exercises section.

Note that a second attempt (usually of a technical exercise) is not the same as a re-start.  If a technical exercise is performed twice, only the first attempt will be marked.
