Currently 4 pieces are chosen and has been prepared for the digital exam:
9 min
12 min
6 min
12 min
So the total time will be added up to be 39 min ( not including the pauses in between)
But the ACTL requirement stated 32-38 min , so will mark be deducted if it's 1 min too long? ( I heard if it's too short marks may be deducted)
Anyone has experience with this?
Thanks in advance.

You could always send them an email or use some other means of communication to ask them.
Also, two questions.
1. What are the pieces you plan on presenting?
2.When is the exam? Is it too late to change pieces?

Thanks all
After some discussion with teacher, it's decided to change one of the piece to shorter one ( 2 min shorter).
