ABRSM Music Theory

Question

If a student is in 7th grade, does she have to take the ABRSM music theory test level 7 or can she take a lower level test?

Answer 1

Abrsm theory grade 7 is quite an advance level. I would advice she take some lower grades first before taking grade 7.

Answer 2

No, ABRSM Grade 7 is a very advanced exam and not recommended for younger students due to the required musical insight. The ABRSM does not have prerequisites, but the onus is on the student to study the materials required for the exam. I would strongly recommend that she starts with a lower exam to assess her knowledge.
