I know it's a bit early, seeing as how this years just finished a few weeks back, but I'd like to get prepared for it over summer. I'm planning on doing 6 piano pieces. I'm good at sibelius, but having someone looking over my shoulder for the whole thing isn't a nice thought. I have a few in mind, but I'd like to know if I need to shorten them or not. Being asked to stop in the middle of playing would have terrible, terrible consequences (i.e. me completely freaking out and getting v little marks).

What'd be a good length for each piece? ~3 minutes?
Is 2 minutes too short, even if the piece is complex?
Is one longer piece ok (like 5-6 minutes)?
Is it ok to tell the examiner to f*ck off if they decide to walk over to me and look over my shoulder?
