me, either.

Distinction for RAD Intermediate =)

Merit. But cut me some slack! I did my first RAD exam last year (intermediate foundation), moved across the country and missed 3 months of class. I feel pretty good about it

Only ever got distinctions but as the grades get harder is gets harder to keep up good grades I guess. Anyway, im glad no-one got a fail!

I got a merit in my RAD grade 6 (63%) but I was ok with that because the best girl in our class only got 76% (which of course is awesome). And I missed about 6 months of class when I moved dance schools. And this was my first ballet exam

My last exam was RAD Advanced 1, and I got a merit, which I was happy with. I'm also hoping for a merit in Advanced 2 when I sit it.

I had Merit(73%) for my grade 7. Ah! I was so close to a distinction! Just, another footstep away. =( It's alright, just have to try harder the next time round!

I got distinction(93) RAD Grade 6

in all the RAD exams I have done,distinction 100% Yay

We don't do RAD so our marks are:

Pass not awarded
Pass
Pass with Merit
Credit
Credit with Merit
Commended
Highly Commended
Honours
Honours with distinction

I got Highly Commended, which is the equivalent to 80 - 89%.

Well I sat RAD Intermediate and got a merit and im happy with that, im surprised that no one failed verry good,
Thanks

Honors with distinction A.D.A.P.T. Senior 3

Distinction on grade 5 RAD I was so proud, first ever ballet exam as well so I was pretty estatic.

I did Cecchetti and I got a C+ so I don't know what that would be. I was pretty happy about, it was a difficult exam.

Last year for ABT exam

I got a merit on my RAD Grade 6, and I just took my RAD Grade 8 today which I'm hoping for a merit too..

It was Cecchetti Grade 6 and I got Honours (81%)
