Yep.  It was the only grade I did.  It was a prerequisite for doing the diploma.

OH, meaning you only did grade 5 before going to grade 8 and moving on ? Cool, and thanks (:
Well, i wonder if my teacher would allow me to jump to grade 8 from here, cos she said that i would miss quite a lot of things i wonder what...

It depends - which system are you doing your exams through? AMEB, ABRSM, Trinity... what?

I only did that so I could do a DipABRSM in performance - which I then got.  I've been supposedly working on the next diploma but kinda got a little ill-disciplined.
