How to Enter for an RSL Awards Graded Music Exam

We understand the amount of hard work and dedication that goes into preparing for a graded music exam, which is why we’ve made purchasing and entering for your exam as straightforward as possible.

With the launch of our new and improved site, this is now done in two simple steps:

  • Purchase your exam entry on our online shop
  • Complete your exam details via your secure account

Watch the video below to see how to purchase and enter graded music exams. We’ve made this a straightforward process, meaning that you can focus on perfecting your performance.

Please note this process covers Rockschool and RSL Classical instrument exams, however the steps for music theory and music production assessments are essentially the same.

Graded-Music-Exam-Entry-Process

In short…

Step 1

Find the relevant graded music exam you want to purchase. These are split between instrument, music theory, or music production exams.

When you purchase your exam entry from our online shop, you will select the chosen exam format (face-to-face, recorded digital or live stream) and your certificate type (paper certificate or an e-certificate).

Please note: you will only be able to see the exam formats and certificate types available dependant on your chosen exam type and territory.

Step 2

You can now complete your exam entry details via your RSL Secure Account. You can access this immediately via your purchase confirmation or by clicking “sign-in” at the top of the page. If the exam purchase email is not linked with an RSL account, a new account will be created automatically, and you will be sent further details directly. This is where you will select options such as (but not limited to):

  • `Exam type (Graded Certificate vs. Performance Certificate)
  • Instrument
  • Any additional scheduling notes, eg. date/time preferences, exam centre preferences, reasonable adjustments, and other special points.

For face-to-face exams, after these two steps are completed and the closing date has passed, the exam will be scheduled. For recorded digital exams, without any closing date, the video can be uploaded right away after the exam details have been completed. For live stream exams, we will be in touch regarding the exam date.
