adele244 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 FAILED!!!! Needed 65 in each Listening 62 Reading 77 Writing 66 speaking 72 However to anyone taking the test this is real GOOD news as he only just failed and not to be too disrespectful to hubby...he really is a lost cause, his spelling is atrocious!! We are talking spellings such as "I need a braik" he is that bad!!!! So really it is amazing that he nearly passed!! on his defence his parents did live in South Africa during his critical learning age 4-6 then moved back to the UK. Took test on Friday morning and we had result at 06:30am Saturday morning, can't complain at that. So basically the point of this thread is hope!!! If hubby nearly passed, that is good news for anyone who is half decent at English as you should walk it. X x x x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adele244 Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 He knew it would be you as he said you had been doing ielts, so this probably was a walk in the park for you and your scores are really good. Well done and he says good luck for you skills test next week x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon211174 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Cheers I really thought I had failed miserably, I was so close to walking out half way through. I don't know how I got the marks I did with how I felt I had done lol I think this must be the hardest part of the process or at least I hope it is x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
