To hautbois francais:

I am an engineer by trade and played oboe on the side. I took 1.5 years off to do my LRSM and FRSM and simply couldn't continue when I went back to engineering.

Nowadays they normally have two (or three?) examiners for diploma exams, but for remote sites they only send one, so the other two would have to listen to the tape only. I played from memory on all my oboe diploma exams, but they never made note of that (not on the mark sheet anyway).

I also got an offer for a full scholarship when I achieved 145/150 on my Grade 8, but my family yelled at me so loud that I couldn't even take the free trip to London (from Hong Kong) for the audition. Would have been a nice experience for sure. Still I haven't travelled to London to this date. What a shame.
