It's worth going to Battersea for the RAD's Vocational Syllabus classes - really helps with the vocational grades exam preparation. They are usually taken by an examiner. We travelled up from Wiltshire as there is absolutely nothing in the area for more advanced students - well worth the trips though!

I have known some older G3s who took the exam after just two two terms of study. They had CDs of the exam music and they had practice notes so that they could practice at home. The students had an hour lesson a week - they passed with flying colours! I think passing the exam within a short time-frame depends on the individual and individual circumstances - but two years seems a bit excessive!
