GENERAL OVERVIEW
The Irish Dancing Commission (CLRG) has established 12 Grade Exams (plus an optional preliminary exam) for the purpose of offering a structured framework within which dancers can progress toward an achievable goal. Grade Exams are not new to the Irish dance world; however, they are currently a hot topic due to a recent ruling by CLRG. For any Irish dance students who may be interested in eventually taking the TCRG Exam (to become a certified Irish dance teacher), this is very important to know. Effective as of January 2018, to be eligible to apply for the TCRG Exam a dancer must first successfully complete all 12 Grade Exams.
Grade exams are NOT competitions. Each candidate is individually examined and receives a detailed written assessment of their performance and knowledge of the grade being attempted. Candidates do NOT wear a competition costume for the examination.

Grade exams must be taken in order, beginning with Grade 1 (the preliminary grade is optional). However, a candidate may only attempt a maximum of 3 consecutive Grades at any one sitting. For each exam sitting, a three month period must elapse before the next grade is attempted.
The CLRG offers the Grade Exams program to all dancers. It is a non-competitive series of competency/proficiency tests. Please consult with the Foley Academy Director before registering your dancer for any Grade Exams.
Grade examinations are unlike competitions in that each candidate is individually examined and receives a detailed written assessment of their performance and knowledge of the grade being attempted. They are open to both male and female candidates regardless of age and ability.
I'm in my thirties; I've played acoustic guitar for about a decade, but recently took up "proper instruments" flute and piano as a beginner - playing from score, learning scales, etc rather than just bashing chords. I did do up to grade 3 classical guitar (in the UK) as a young child so I luckily can read music, etc.
I'd frankly feel a bit of a fool turning up as a grown man, to do a grade 1 piano exam, and I wondered if there is any point doing grades other than for a sense of achievement. If I work through pieces and grade requirements, is there a benefit to taking the exams?
I organise an exam centre for guitar (electric/acoustic/classical) and bass exams. Whilst 80% of candidates are younger than 18 or so, that leaves 20% adults. Most of them come with a bundle of nerves, but I see them for the next, and the next,and so on. Frequently they say "I don't know why I'm doing this", but the main real reason seems to be that they see it as a thorough, structured way to get good on an instrument.It somehow focuses them in their practice, seeing the goal.
Other instruments will have the same regime, so don't be concerned that you're following a 6yr old into the exam room. You will be judged on the performance, and no-one's going to think 'he should play better than that 6yr old, 'cos he's older'. The exam is not supposed to be subjective. Trouble is, most folk stop 'doing exams' in their late teens, so after that, they get out of the habit. Kids are doing tests and exams almost on a weekly basis, so for them, it's just another pesky exam.For adults, it's something they thought they'd left behind!
Also consider other exam boards - Trinity, LCM (RGT), etc.You may enjoy one better than another, but the standard of playing ought to be very similar. And the certificates are great for covering up dodgy wallpapering...
After ten years with the guitar you'll have become quite comfortable with the instrument, and will have developed some musicianship. Naturally it's humbling to take up another instrument and find your fingers tripping over pieces of music that you could probably pick out on guitar while standing on your head.
Feel humbled, but don't feel foolish. Relish being a beginner! If you think grade 1 would feel like an achievement, do grade 1. Your teacher will understand your situation, the examiner won't care how old you are, and you don't have to tell anyone else. I knew a violin teacher who was an examiner for ABRSM, and he told me that it always gave him a real buzz to see an adult beginner. He had nothing but admiration for anyone who takes up an instrument later in life.
That being said, if I were you I'd take a look at the grade 5 syllabus. The music starts to get a little more interesting at this stage, and you might find that fact is enough to help bridge the bigger gap between where your technique is now, and where it needs to be to play at that level. I did all the violin grades as a kid, took up piano at 30, and did grade 5 after about a year and a half.
I've just turned 60. I did piano, clarinet and music theory exams ten years ago. I've started playing the trumpet and loving learning a new instrument. For one thing the trumpet is much more reliable that the clarinet which I use for busking. I like doing exams and I'm planning on doing the grade 1 trumpet exam later this year. As far as I know there are no restrictions on the age you can do exams at.
Taking certificates is generally always good, unless you are not aware about requirements (then the failure might bring unneeded disappointment). Check that is expected, and if you think you can do - then why not? This may help to meet new interesting people!
Credit by Exams (CBEs) offer appropriate, reliable placement or credit for students in grades K-12. The exams are designed by curriculum experts and aligned to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). Students may choose to take the exams for credit recovery or acceleration. View presentation.
UTHS offers online proctoring of credit by exams for students in grades 3-12 at home using the Proctorio service, which allows the student to take the exam using their computer or a district-issued computer. Proctorio includes an identification process, requires a webcam for video recording, and uses a lockdown browser to ensure a secure testing experience. Please see our Q & A documents for more information.
Students taking CBEs for K-2 subjects will need to make arrangements to take the exam on-site at their local school district or an approved university testing center. Online proctoring is not available for K-2 subjects because the exams may allow oral administration by the proctor which is not a function provided through the Proctorio online exam system. We recommend reviewing options once there are changes to stay-at-home requirements and testing site closures.
With approval from the local school district, students in grades 6-12 who received prior instruction in a subject area but did not receive credit may earn credit by passing an exam (grade of 70% or above) that assesses the student's knowledge and skills in that subject area.
With approval from the local school district, students in grades K-12 seeking placement credit in a subject area in which they have not received prior instruction may earn credit by passing these exams with a grade of 80% or above. The annual UTHS Credit by Exam Certification Reports can be found in the Exam Policy & Development section below.
District partners receive a discount on exam orders and have up to 60 days to complete testing. It takes up to 10 business days for an order to be completed and placed in the mail (regardless of optional shipping requests). Any incomplete order requests will delay processing.
Scoring times may vary and exams are scored in the order received, therefore please allow up to 20 business days for scoring. Please allow additional time for scoring Proctorio exams during the coronavirus pandemic which is causing increased volume for online exams and resulting in delays.
Study guides for all K-12 CBEs are available and printable from the website at any time. Study guides for Communication Applications, English, Art, and PE are essential as these exams have specific requirements.
Rush grading is available for all exams. Rush grading is available upon completion of the exam. The exam will be graded within 5 business days of the date that the exam is received from the proctoring location. If expedited shipping is necessary from the proctoring center to UTHS, those arrangements should be made by the parent/student with the proctoring center. Download the Rush Grading form and email it directly to edservices@austin.utexas.edu or fax to 512-471-7853.
*During the stay-at-home regulations required to prevent the spread of COVID-19, additional time may be needed by instructors to grade exams. Rush grading and exam inquiries may not be possible for exams taken in print form. Shipping of print exams to testing centers other than school districts and expedited shipping may no longer be possible or may be delayed.
Parents and students should view their local school district websites to read any changes to the district testing windows and logistics for on-site testing. UTHS is continuing to coordinate with school district contacts regarding their exam testing needs during remote learning.
According to 19 TAC 74.24 Credit by Exams (c)(6), a student may not attempt to earn credit by examination for a specific high school course more than two times. State policy requires CBEs to be administered by approved staff at a school district or university testing center.
Texas' credit by exams policy 19 TAC 74.24 requires providers of CBEs to Texas school districts to certify that their examinations meet specific rule criteria and to report student scores annually. Please see the following UTHS CBE Certification Reports for details, which include alignment to the revised rules effective August 2018. Clarification regarding rule changes is included in the 2017-18 report and the score reports with the expanded student group data are included in the reports beginning in 2018-19. UTHS posts the CBE Certification Reports annually, which include score reports for all students statewide who completed CBEs provided by UTHS during the prior academic year. 152ee80cbc
