For a minute I thought you were talking about the english horn! Er, any way, I'm American, and I have no idea what an "exam grade" is.....could someone translate?

In England (and Wales apparently) and a few other countries we take exams that are graded 1-8. You can pass the grade, get a merit or a distinction (or fail). There's always an examiner who asseses you for pieces, sight-reading, oral examinations and that kind of stuff.

Exams are good. But it's just horrible getting the envelope with your results in.

I'm in Michigan and I am music grade level 6
