m1964 - I think you're right about problems showing up with harder passages.

I just made the jump from aiming for an in-person Grade 3 exam to aiming for a Grade 4 video exam. That means going from playing about a 4 minute set with breaks, to an 8 minute set with no breaks.

Unfortunately, under that level of step up, all the cracks in started to show very severely and I've had to re-examine my technique in all areas and start from the bottom again. I think it's good to put the work in, but it's a bit of a shock to realise that I have such a mountain to climb to get from Grade 3 distinction to Grade 4 pass.
