According to ABRSM, most students will take one and half year from beginner stage to completion of grade 1 and one year per grade thereafter.
But if guided by experienced teacher and the child is diligent in practising with more effort, grade 1 to 3 can progress rather quickly, 3 to 5 months one grade. Excluding pre-grade learning which may take around 9 months or so. The higher the grade, the longer the learning curve. So grade 5 will take a longer time comparatively.

it came up in that first week you might ask a student to practice the subject wherever with no sense of the structure of the work, instead of painstakingly working through 5 or 6 bars of complicated interplay between the hands, the student who has practiced only the various incarnations of the subject will return with a feeling for the way the subject structures the whole fugue, to recognize the episodes where no subject is present in any voice, than to muddle through 2-4 bars per week until the three page fugue is (more-or-less) under the fingers (even though it may not yet have penetrated the mind). how the hands share the subject, how the subject modulates and modifies while still being ‘the subject’. And how much more interesting to then learn the ‘decorative’ elements, to discover the counter-subjects

Without having goals and timelines, most students find it difficult to stick to a practice routine. When you are learning piano, one of the most effective ways to progress is to set out a specific set of goals, and try your best to achieve them. When you set a date for the exam, it pushes you into ensuring you practice enough and get everything prepared – otherwise you may fail!
However, stress and pressure are the most common downsides to take the exams, because it’s not easy taking an exam in anything. And hard work, lots of practice and dedication have to go into it, because failing would be a big set back and knock to your confidence. So it’s important you fully understand and accept what you are doing before you take an exam, as you may put yourself off playing the piano for life if you don’t like it!

I totally agree with you. Exam provides a clear goal for students to work towards each year, it can help to develop essential aspects of musicianship such as ear training, sight-reading, musical knowledge and theory, when students learn how to play musical instruments. Students will have a chance to learn practical and theoretical skills, honing creativity and musicianship as well. Additionally, after acquiring a high grade with good marks, students will be more competitive when they apply for college.
