Ha ha I can't remember though I said one answer in dolphin bit was 'estimated' ????

I know it's funny I felt super stressed in the run up to it but had urge to keep laughing when I was there! Just hope I don't have to resit can you imagine aghhhh!!!

i hope it's the person who was there he seemed to like me and I bet my recording sounded naff afterwards! Though I slagged off Australia not having a history and Londoners being rude so not holding my breath!!

ha ha you must have an interesting right ear!! Good luck!

I can't even remember that question!!

You're probably barred anyway! If you see this perv don't let him in lol!!

Probably just as well you would be mortified listening back to ahem... Explaining that advert lol!!

Hey , I also got confused with one of the dolphin questions plus what classes the gym offers (lost concentration) I put all sorts hahah!! PLus I said the beauty saon offers massages??? does it??? I really think my listening will let me down which is a shame as I think I have done well on all of the ohter exams... i only need 7's so I am hoping even if I get 4 wrong I can still get a 7..??

Cringe!!!!! Lol

Ha ha ha ha ha how did you describe that ha ha!!

Seriously don't worry speaking bit was fine just keep it simple if you don't know subject then just say so but I'm sure you will draw something from depths of your memory! I got asked who bought my clothes when I was a kid, I almost burst out laughing!! Stupid questions most are really easy just a couple thrown in for your opinion . I got asked why is history important for our country... That's about as hard as it got. Let me know how you get on, good luck!

That sounds tough for any speaker! Best of luck!

Nope! None whatsoever! I actually started laughing when I finished because I just babbled on!! Ha ha I found whole thing hilarious, think examiner felt like a weirdo asking me questions for sake of it! Why native speakers have to do this test is beyond me!

you too I'm sure you will be fine! My test guy in the main tests was my speak examiner too! Strange they don't allow highlighters eh! Anyway it's all done now ill let you know my results on the 9 August! Good luck!!

Speaking now I wish I'd taken my water in mmy mouth was soooooo dry lol! Got asked about historical event I talked about royal wedding with will and Kate only last year but it's history ha ha! Got asked loads of history questions I just bluffed my way through! Got asked about shopping my favourite subject ha ha! Also about patients and whether I am or not etc.. It was actually quite funny!! Having pimms now glad it's over..,,for now! Thanks all for support and advice

Hi donna Thanks I'm worried about task 2 in writing the most! Speaking I'm fine I work in HR and talk a lot!! Lol I'm a good bluffer too reading I have to pay attention to detail as that's where I make mistakes, listening is ok. I'll be glad when it's 4pm Saturday and it's all over! Praying I pass first time!

So just did reading practice test got 39/40!! Also write essay on global warming that was hard and had to cheat! I've got my structure perfect now just hope I get a familiar subject. Going to brain storm all the subjects I think could come up. E.g education, global warming, immigration, elderly, computers, crime, travel, technogy, media, health etc...having a beer now

Good tip about subjects I'll try that tomorrow night!

Thanks Nik I'll definitely be spending first 5 mins planning it worked for my degree exams way back and helps you think more logically! Thanks Debs I'll hopefully have time to count words! I sort of know what 250+ looks like! Two Ive written we're just over 300.

Just wrote a big reply and then lost it, bloody I pad !!!! So big thanks for top tips!!!

Ahh not good! I need 7 in all for 10 points but was hoping I will get 8's across all 4 so I can claim 20. Less pressure to prove last 8-10 years experience I can settle with past 5 then. I will do my best on Saturday that's all I can do! Did you find writing difficult ? Letter bit looks easy, essay guess depends on the subject (general test)

thanks nic that's great! Tough mark to get though! Does anyone know if for example I get R7 W7.5 L8 S8 do they add it all up divide by 4 to give overall ielts mark?

I've printed another one for tomorrow night, too tired now! Thanks for that link loads of practice tests on there!! I didn't check answers I struggled with still had 20 mins to go but my dinner was ready so rushed it lol! No excuse though will try harder tomorrow :err:

Grrrrrr just did reading practice test 35/40, really can't be making 5 mistakes!!!! It's that bloody section true false not given...
