How Level 7 Piano Repertoire Is Graded
At this level, students must perform three Repertoire pieces - one from each list: A, B, and C. Each memorized piece earns an additional 2 marks. Up to 56 out of 100 total marks can be earned for the Repertoire section, making it the most heavily weighted component of the Level 7 Practical Piano Exam.
