Did anyone else find Grade VI aural really hard?
I got 27 on all of my pieces (violin)
Full marks on scales
Merit on sight reading
But then failed my aural
Just started my grade VII pieces now, is there any tips to improve my aural?
Many thanks in advance

I haven't done any exams with Trinity as I was with guildhall before they joined together but don't like that they don't have theory requirements like ABRSM.

Flute on ABRSM
skipped grade one
g2 merit, g3 distinction, g4 merit, g5 distinction, g6 merit, g7 pass
grade 5 theory merit
I'm taking Grade 8 in March, no idea what I'll get
I did grades 3-5 on Piano as-well but I can't remember what I got, I enjoyed it kind of but couldn't be arsed to carry it on and I prefer playing for myself (like I do with guitar) because my teacher wound me up too much
ABRSM over Trinity any day, I just think it does a more well rounded examination
skipped grade one
g2 merit, g3 distinction, g4 merit, g5 distinction, g6 merit, g7 pass

Flute
Grades 1-5, Distinction
Then spent 2 years sitting my grade 5 theory, gaining a pass (on the pass mark) on my 4th attempt at the exam! (This was about 9 years ago when I was a very moody teenager and teaching myself music theory clearly didn't work!)
Then did grade 8 and got a merit.
I also did grade 3 and 4 recorders and got distinction and got a merit in grade 2 singing.

Distinctions from grade 1-8 on viola. I had no social life for a good few years of my life.

I consistently get merits which is good enough for me haha! Usually score very well on pieces but my sight reading always really lets me down (I am useless at rhythms and then I panic )
Trinity Grade 5 + 6 Clarinet - Merit
ABRSM Grade 5 theory - Merit
ABRSM Grade 2-6 singing - Merit
Taking grade 8 singing in a few weeks but I think I'll be lucky to pass that
Think I got a distinction in my preliminary guitar exam though (;
