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.

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.
