Things are different with Nafa's exam. 1st, the time given for preparation weren't as early as in private learning(also not as much practices with the pianist[only once during the studio class yesterday], but I feel that this shouldn't be a big problem if she's hard working enough), plus I no longer coach her the way as I did before, she's now practicing on her own... 2nd, unlike the ABRSM exams, there were 6 examiners at Nafa, instead of 1! - Papa said that this ensures fair judgement, hmmm, makes sense too...
Renee had gone in thinking that there's only 1 examiner but faced with 6, she was shaken(she told me so) and now she's very afraid that she won't get to continue learning with Nafa(she even tear-ed, on our way back). At this, we told her that if she hadn't been lazy with her practices(everyday, less than 1/2 hr!), she shouldn't be afraid nor be bothered with whether there're 1 or 6 examiners. Whatever it is, there's nothing much she can do now and we'll just have to wait 1-2 weeks' time for the results to be announced, to which she claimed that she'd work harder if she gets to continue, we'll see...

She"ll do well :)
Abrsm exams can be prep for many mths... Nafa exams maybe only a mth or few weeks?
Jen, is that you?
It depends on the teacher also but the last time she went for hers, it was 'mine' - cos I only decided at the very last minute to let her go for the ABRSM exam but then again, she was still given 1-2 mths to prepare ahead then. It's totally different at Nafa, just a few weeks at most and only 1 week for their masterclass performances.
