Year 12s: what will be the first way you research your future options? >>

Still only 15, but I was wondering about music examinations

Ok, so I've done grade 8 on both cello and piano...and achieved distinction on both. When I eventually do apply, do I input BOTH these results, or just one of them? :confused:

Also how much will it help to put my DipABRSM in music performence on my form (generally)?

you can put them both, you put the highest grade achieved in EACH instrument.
if you're applying for music the Diploma might be of worth but for any other subject it's not worth much. however if you've done it there's no harm putting it down to show well roundedness.
what subject are you intending to apply for?

Universities like to see interests other than the subject you are studying for, so its good that you have other talents outside of Physics. Put the ABRSM grades in your personal statement as part of your other achievements. I'm going to study Theology and I also take Piano exams, so its not that unusual.
