Before choristers can attempt it, they must pass the Dean's Award. This involves singing an anthem, two hymns and a psalm as well as singing a piece at sight and answering questions on the church's year.
A good pass at Dean's enables choristers to sit the much tougher Bishop's Award.
This involves a greater level of study, more singing and a more detailed understanding of the annual calendar of the church.
