The registration time for the 2022 Central Conservatory of Music violin exam is around October every year.

The violin grading center is level 10, and the Shanghai Conservatory of Music is level 12. Level 11 is a performance qualification, and level 12 is a teacher qualification. The exam is divided into two parts. One part is music theory which is divided into sight-singing and ear training and questions and answers on basic music theory knowledge. The other part, which is the most important part, is the performance, which requires one scale, two etudes, one concerto, one foreign piece, and one Chinese piece.

In most cases, the music theory test is taken first and then the performance test. Memorizing music is required during the grade examination. If you apply to skip a grade, you will sometimes be required to sight-read a piece of music one or two levels below. Generally speaking, after passing the level 10 violin exam, you will be able to take the exam for students with special talents. Key colleges and universities will reduce your score by 50 points or drop you to the first tier. Level 10 is just a degree, not a level, so you may not be able to pass the exam. The exam for students with special talents is to take the exam at the institution where they want to apply.
