Thanks 2childmum that was really useful. I have read other people say Trinity is good for brass... I think he will be changing his teacher after this summer so maybe that is something to explore with his new teacher. I had heard that about pieces and the way the marking works. I had heard it was easier to pass but harder to get distinctions. Don't know how true that is but I know dd certainly prefers the technical pieces and I think ds would too...

I think my ds is way too competitive with his sister not to want to do exams ;-) In fact he has been very good at exams (distinctions every time) and yet really struggles to perform in front of a big audience. Dd also does well in exams (but more merits than distinctions) but she LOVES playing in a concert/music festival setting...!
