DeniDeni Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Hey, I did it in Sheffield. Did you do academic or general? Can I ask what you made of the writing task 2 question (I think it is actually the same for both). I have a horrible feeling, now, that I didn't answer the question correctly. I was really happy with my answer in the exam it wasn't until I walked out and went over it with my husband that I think I've answered the first part fully but only partly answered the second part. Any advice anyone? It's my 2nd time and I got all 8's apart from writing 6.5 and think I've done the same again. I can't do PTE because ANMAC doesn't accept it.

jon211174 Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Was it about science ? If so it was some people say you should be taught science some say you shouldn't discuss both sides? what do you think ? I did general and thought it was easier this time.

jon211174 Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Oh did you do academic ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeniDeni Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Yes, I thought the questions were the same for part 2, obviously not, just the same sort of question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cazwilkins Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Mine was General too about science. I think I started talking too scientifically that I completely missed the point of the question. Arghhhh. I've booked again for end may just in case I fail. I'm hoping I don't have to go through that again though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon211174 Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 Lol I just wrote total rubbish really. Mind you I did the same on my first test and got an 8. I just missed out in the reading with a 7 last time so fingers crossed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeniDeni Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 When you say you've booked again for the end of May do you mean you've paid as well, so if you pass you've lost that money? Obviously if I have to do it again I will but I can't really afford to pay for a test I might not need (but probably will!), saying that I had to wait 6-7 weeks for this test when I found out I hadn't got the score I needed because they were all booked up...

jon211174 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Might be worth looking at Burton on trent I got in with a weeks notice both times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azh Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Burton is also the best place to take the test as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon211174 Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 Yeah I was told that and luckily I'm only 20 miles away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercow Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 so if you pass you've lost that money? Yeap, you will lose it, if you're outside the cancellation window (6 weeks if I recall correctly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeniDeni Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Has everyone else got their results? I've entered my details (and I know I've done it right because I've taken the test before) but it is saying results not found...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon211174 Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 Hi I got mine gotta try again got 8.5 in everything apart from written where I got 7. Need to get all 8's. Gonna try the pearsons next friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeniDeni Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I think I am going to be the same. Writing was my downfall last time. If I can at least get a 7 in writing then I get apply to ANMAC and the do the PTE, but to be honest I'm not sure I'll get the 7, keeping everything crossed! Spoke to Sheffield centre and they reckon there has been a problem with their upload, told me to try again in a few hours.... Not quite frustrating enough!

Sorry to hear that, I feel your pain (6 times IELTS victim here). With your scores I know you will crush the Pearson test! I think I am going to be the same. Writing was my downfall last time.

DeniDeni Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Thank you! (I have to confess that, because I was up half the night checking, I did do a little relief cry when I read them!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cazwilkins Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 And in answer yes I will lose my 150 if I pass. I wanted to get it out the way though. Fingers crossed I don't have to do it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
