Sorry didn't see this message. Thank you for your good wishes. I managed to get to the exam, though I've had a rough few days. Sang well for the first 3 songs, then stumbled through the last unaccompanied song and the theory, which I have never had a problem with before. Rather cross with myself, but nothing hangs on this other than personal satisfaction. I'll let you know the results.

Fingers crossed!  If your first three songs went well, hopefully the examiner won't come down too hard on nerves (was it nerves?) in the unaccompanied one and look for musicianship.  When I did my grade 8 piano, I remember going to pieces and messing up my aural tests, and coming out of the exam room in tears - but I still managed to pass them.

I completely understand the personal satisfaction aspect.  We musicians communicate through our art and we all need to know we're doing that well!     By the way, was the exam ABRSM?  Or Trinity?

Anyway, I hope you don't have to wait too long for the results.   Keep enjoying your singing - and I think it's wonderful that you've got this chance to develop your voice!

Good luck!

Yes it was nerves. My heart was beating wildly! I am sure I have passed, but I wanted to get a distinction. It was ABRSM. All good experience.

Thank you! My singing teacher took one look at me and said I didn't need to put myself through it, but my gut feeling is that I should. A few hours later and I have perspective and feel proud of myself whatever the result.  :) I don't know how long you have to wait for the results.
