Thank you all so much for your replies and good to have other points of view and advice that I can share with him. I agree that 6-9 months wait is nothing and I googled and he couldnt take his next exam until 14 (when he is year 10) so as you all said there's no rush and he can work on making his Intermediate as good as poss. I was really worried that this would slow down his dance training, but as you all said, this might not be a bad thing anyway.

Haven't posted on here before but looking for some advice. My DS has just gone back to voc school and hes struggling a bit. Mainly because he's very upset about the rad class he's been put in. He took IF in year 7. When the groups were organised for this year he was put into the lower of 2 intermediate classes meaning he prob won't take exam until year 9. Over half of year 8 (including most that took exam same time as him and some he got higher marks than) are in the other intermediate class and will take exam in November or next spring. I spoke to his teacher and apparently he is doing fine, that kids progress at different rates and he needs to up his strength but is this just another way of saying his dancing is not good enough? What age should the intermediate exam be taken? His confidence now seems very low and I don't know what to say to help him. Thanks in advance.
