Trinity music grade - Uni application help!

Has the university asked for the grade 8 to be included as well as your A level results? I only ask because grade exams don't usually make any difference to UCAS points or university type qualifications.
Music grade exams are only qualifications within grade exams not within music. This is because what they test is too narrow to be a general music qualification. It is bit like getting a grade for swimming 5 lengths in a pool doesn't really tell anyone how good you are at swimming only that you can do 5 lengths.

Grades 6-8 attract UCAS tariff points.

Hi,

I'm applying to Bournemouth University, and as part of my offer, I need to submit my Grade 8 result. However, I'm not sure exactly when I’ll receive it.

Could anyone let me know the latest possible date I can add or amend qualifications on my UCAS application?

Thanks in advance!

Send a copy of your certificate (check what format is acceptable to the uni) as soon as you get it, but you should be fine up to A level results day.

Not all universities accept the UCAS points from grade exams because they are not qualifications in music. You need to check to make sure that the university does. Lots of people don't understand grade exams and this should have been explained by the music teacher although a lot don't bother to do it.
Grade exams are only qualifications in grade exams. How it works is that grade 8 is more complicated than grade 7 but that is all it isn't a qualification in music in general only in grades because it doesn't test enough. For example grade exams do not test ensemble playing. They don't test form. Form is how composers put music together. They don't test different styles, so for example they don't test how in classical music you would tell the difference between the music of Haydn and Mozart but if you are playing it you need to know. They also don't test the historical backgrounds of the composers. They don't test chord progressions in music from different eras. This is what I mean by being narrow. In order to play music you need to know something about all this other information. For every composer whose music you are intending to play. You also need to know how the chords in the piece are constructed so that you don't put stresses on notes that are not important within a chord.
I am putting this here so that if anyone else is confused by what grade exams offer in terms of a qualification it makes it clearer. What grade exams are like is grade 5 is a higher grade than grade 4 but not as high as grade 6. That is totally it in terms of qualification. Exactly like getting swimming badges for swimming lengths in a pool. This is why some universities don't accept the UCAS points from grade exams.
I know that UCAS points can be awarded for grades but some universities don't accept them as part of the points for an application. It is important to find out if they do.

you're literally missing the point. I'm an A Level Music student, so I do know what I'm talking about. Get off your high horse. if you're not going to be helpful, there's no point in you commenting further.

A level music doesn't make any difference to whether a university accepts UCAS points from grades. Grades are not the same as A levels in terms of offers. How many universities do you think accept UCAS points from a grade 8 taken at primary school and passed with distinction? Yes people do pass grade 8 with distinction at primary school but A levels at primary school??
