I have never had a piano lesson, our family just got given a piano from some friends about 3 years ago and i thought id make the most of it. I learnt how to loosely read music and then started to learn some themes from my favourite games. Some of my friends also play piano and recently said that my piano playing isn't too bad and you should try of of the AMEB exams. So i thought id put a post on here and see what others think.
I think that any type of examination preparation should be done under the guidance of a teacher with repertoire that will be required for the examination(s). Technical exercises (scales, chords, arpeggios, etc.) are also required for examinations and knowing how to play them and the repertoire involves a lot more than being able to "loosely read the music." The skills required to play classical music are quite different from those you displayed in your videos so it's difficult to predict what you might do with some of the classical repertoire.
If you want opinions from people here, you should learn some of the pieces from the AMEB syllabus and post a video of your playing them. Then we might give some practical advice.
In the meantime, if you are really serious about sitting for an AMEB examination, you should start studying with a teacher.
