I’ve been playing the piano since I was 5 (Now 16) but not really sure what grade I’m at. I’m working on playing Prelude 2 by Bach which is pretty advanced but it’s taking me a while. Would anyone be able to send pictures of pieces around the Grade 5/6/7 mark so I can try and determine which? Thank you!

You could find some on YouTube and how it sounds too

Oh wow really? Scales and sight reading ok, but aural tests rubbish. However I think my school does alternative to ABRSM where you can choose to do extra sight reading instead of aural. I think its called Trinity?

yes Trinity is another exam board - don't know much about it tbh
I did ABRSM grades and have been teaching ABRSM last couple of years now during GCSEs/A Levels

Just look up an exam board and their syllabus e.g. https://gb.abrsm.org/en/our-exams/exam-syllabuses/
Then find the sheet music or look up youtube performances. That should give you an idea.
But two things to note. First, you can play most pieces* regardless of what grade you are at. It will just take longer to get it down. I would say if you are a competent grade 6 pianist, you would be able to learn the grade 6 syllabus pieces after a week or two of practice. If you are at grade 4 level, it might take you a couple of months.
Second, grades are about more than pieces. There is also the aural, sight reading, scales, theory etc.
*Excluding Moonlight Sonata 3rd movement, Hungarian rhapsody and so on!
