So i was wondering if i should take Grade 8 theory. (Has anyone actually taken it??). I went up to grade piano 7 last year and will probably do Grade 8 piano in 2020, atm im taking a break from the practical tests due to university (an unrelated subject) and i want to focus on other pieces. However the theory particularly interests me and i want to have a better understanding of Music as a whole. I am a quick learner and i am good at exams in general and i relish a challenge.

I cant find a single person online who has taken it haha but any insights would be very much appreciated.

Yes you can take it, in that you are definitely allowed to. There are no prerequisites for sitting this exam. I am a music teacher and have put plenty of students in for grade 8 theory. It's quite tough, but worth the effort. You need to complete a trio sonata (Baroque style 3 part harmony mostly contrapuntal style), you need to fill in the skeleton of a keyboard piece in Classical or Romantic style, write a composition of 12 bars minimum based on a given opening, and answer analytical questions based on 2 scores, usually one chamber and one practical.
