About the exam

This dynamic exam is a great way to involve the whole class in a performance, collaborating on fun, dramatic pieces and building camaraderie as they take the exam together.

Scenes are not set, and pieces can be chosen to suit the specific needs and numbers of the group. Each member is involved in performing dialogue, empowering them to fully establish their own character in the scene.

Effective teamwork is essential for our Group exams. The group is graded as a whole, receiving one collective result for all their hard work.
