My son did his grade 2 guitar exam a week ago and came home a bit tearful saying he had, "mucked everything up". He was quite nervous before the exam. He is 12 years old and when he says things didn't go well he is usually reflecting on reality.
I told him examiners are aware of children being nervous and would take that into consideration and as he had worked hard for the exam perhaps he could give himself some credit for all his hard work. Nonetheless, I think if he doesn't pass he will be very disappointed. Does anyone have any experience with exams at this beginning stage? Do the examiners take nerves into consideration or do they follow a checklist without deviation?
