Know how stressful it is waiting for the postman to arrive with the results......hubby sat his IELTS in July 07, he was one of the first to sit it for the new 175 visa (extra points for English ability).......and we had no-one to ask for advise He did pass thankfully.........although I was holding a large frying pan at the time he went to sit his test!!!! LOL
Really hope you pass all 4 modules this time

Thanks again. Its not really waiting for him to come, its the opening of the envelope thats bothering me. When I opened the last one I was just expecting to be able to scan it up. Then I saw the '6'. This time its going to be opened veeeery sloooowly.

I have been checking the forum regularly for your results Nige. I can imagine what you are feeling. My test is booked for end of March. Iam dreading the day. I have asked our little boy to open the results for me, I can't bear the feeling of looking at them. I am not good with exams, and I loose my concentration if I am listening to sth and I am under pressure,,,, speaking will be another worry for me... I pause and think when I speak...and I have heard if you puase during your speaking test... you will loose points... on the other hand,I am not english... it's not fair... my husband should sit this test... he can talk at length for the Quin
anyway... best of luck... will be checking this in a few minutes again.

Strange, I feel like I'll be letting you all down lol. Thanks again. Have to go home at lunch time to see that they havent arrived again, but hey, we have to check anyway right?

Come on Nige, I'm actually excited to hear your results!

I've just realised, I have my IELTS on Sat, and I won't get the results on the second Friday, as it's Easter weekend, so I will have to wait until the following Tuesday!

So if I fail, I will only have a day to get enrolled again for the April exam. Best try my hardest first time. I'm actually really nervous already and it's only Tuesday.

Actually, I dont think there is any reason to be nervous about it. If you nail the reading section in the practice material then you should be fine. I just feel like I messed that bit up.

We were so worried about my hubby failing the first IELTS test that we actually booked and paid for two tests a few weeks apart!!!
As it happens he passed first time L-9, R-9, W-8.5, S-9.....Overall 9......and cancelled the 2nd test, but couldn't get our £ back for it as we couldn't give enough notice
Plus he had to travel down to Portsmouth 24 hours before the test and stayed in a Travel Lodge so he had a good night's sleep before the test without 4 hours travelling.

I think the rest is important. I had to fly to Manchester and then Birmingham which meant getting up at 4.30am. You CANNOT sleep on a Ryanair flight. Just as you think can sleep in an upright position and dozing off, 'ATTENTION PASSENGERS, YOU CAN BE A MILLIONAIRE WITH RYANAIR IF YOU BUY OUR RIP OFF LOTTERY TICKETS'.

(Think I'll blame Ryanair for my poor results)
