Just an update of the IELTS exam scores...I think it helped to go completely relaxed about the exam...I did find the test much easier than the 1st one I took, so it's a matter of luck really. Anyways: Listening: 8.5 Reading: 9.0 Writing: 8.0 (phew!) Speaking: 9.0 Overall: 8.5 I feel an incredible weight off my shoulders. Thanks PomQueen and Supercow for your good luck!!!

Thank you! You know, after reading your post yesterday that's exactly what it felt like: as if a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders, we'll see how it goes - cheers!

Thank you Pom Queen, much appreciated!

I only got an account on this forum to say THANK YOU! These are my scores from the first time I took the IELTS: L: 8.5, S: 8.0, W: 8.0, R: 7.5 That is right, one %$&@# question dropped my score to 7.5 on reading, so frustrating. I am sitting again this Saturday but I am not that confident, especially because I feel that getting below 8 in reading is so easy to do or I might drop that 8.0 in writing (I think I lucked out on first try). If I don't get the scores I need, I'll take the Pearson test and report back. Your comparison to Skinner is right on target.
