In 2026, face-to-face exams in Harp and Percussion will be offered on specific dates during Terms 3 and 4. This format will be trialled in 2026 to ensure that examiner and venue availability is confirmed well in advance, offering certainty for candidates when preparing for exams.
If the face-to-face exam sessions do not suit, candidates may enrol in a video Repertoire exam. The video must be uploaded to AMEB Connect before 26 November. For further details on video exams click here.
