Any recent experiences of ABRSM Grade 5 theory online?

Hi, I’m interested in my DC taking Grade 5 theory soon and wondered if anyone had recent experiences of doing so. Previous threads talk a lot about technical challenges!

We have recently upgraded the PC on which DC would do the exam, so it runs the latest Microsoft 360 - should that eliminate most problems? I also remember something about allowing popups, if that’s correct.

They have previously had theory tuition and passed Music GCSE so I am hoping that it will be within their capabilities, but any recommendations for learning materials would be welcome. Thanks.

Do all the technical checks beforehand. Mine used the abrsm app to practice. Good luck!

Thanks, I’ll look up the ABRSM app and report back on my experiences if/when we go ahead.
