You cannot directly go for ABRSM grade 5 piano exam without giving any earlier grades.
If you want a diploma or the like, you would have to pass the Grade 8 practical exam, and the Grade 6 theory exam. Then you would have to complete other exams/tasks. If you contact abrsm they will be able to give you more information.
It does help, I've got ABRSM Grade 8 which = 70 UCAS points. This alone is not enough to get you into university. You will need other eg diploma/ A level qualifications. But do try applying, sometimes uni's will take on talented individuals who do not have qualifications out of their eyeballs.
For the ABRSM exam board, no.
The fourth movement of the sonata is an ABRSM Grade 8 piece. The second movent has previously been a Grade 6 piece. The other two movements, the first and third, I believe are ungraded. However, I would say the third technically is very easy but very dependent on emotions to make a good performance.
One can find out the ABRSM (Associated Board of the Royals Schools of Music) by going to the ABRSM website. You can also write to them to their regional office in the UK.

After completing ABRSM Grade 5 guitar, you might enjoy exploring pieces like "Romance" (Spanish Romance), which offers a beautiful melody and is great for developing expressive playing. Additionally, "Lagrima" by Francisco Tárrega is a lovely, melodic piece that helps with technique and phrasing. Other recommendations include "Cavatina" by Stanley Myers and "Prelude in D minor" by J.S. Bach, both of which are rewarding and suitable for advancing your skills.
you need to know Bflat major and Aminor (twelth) D, F and G major and D, E and Gminor (two octaves) and F cromatic (for the ABRSM exams)
It stands for Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music :)
