Finally, the dreaded IELTS result is out! Went to take it just now.
See! Overall band 7.
Seeing the result, I really have no idea to laugh or to cry. I was disappointed with my listening test as I couldn’t hear the conversation clearly and almost threw the mark of one whole section away. I was thinking, if lucky, I might get a 7 else it will be 6.5. Who knows?!?! WOW! I almost got blown away with what I’m getting! 8.5, only 0.5 to the perfect 9, the highest band score! I never expect this result. I don’t understand how on earth it happened. I’m not going to complain of course, it’s so much better than what I had wished for. It had saved my ass too! If it’s not because of this, I won’t be getting an overall band of 7.
Reading, I was expecting a 7.5 or 7. I got 7. At least in the range of 7. Phew…
Writing, expected it but I was hoping to get a 7 as I read many band 7 essay samples, it’s not hard to achieve that. If I had the time to check my writing, then I think I’ll get a 7 for it but I didn’t have the time. Sigh…
Speaking, LOL… Expected to get lousy band but did not expect a 6, quite disappointing. Oh well… I really messed up. Instead of talking formally, I was yapping away like talking to my friends. Blek…
With such result, I’m not so sure whether they accept it or not as the offer letter mentioned that I must get band 7 for all components but the prospectus stated that an average 7 is enough. So… I’m not really sure.
Now, I’ll just have to wait to see whether they accept my score or not. If not, I have to resit! I don’t want!!! Sigh… Really don’t know to cry or laugh, worry or relieve. Cross my fingers, I don’t want to resit 🙁
Hello Irene,
Don’t worry too much about it, you’ll be fine, you’re definitely above average anyway. 😉
Cheers,
E.
Effa, hope they accept it, if not, have to fork out another RM550 and have to find time to do another revision and to sit for the exam. That is not cheap.
well….i wish u d best of luck..
Band 7 = Pass
Cyril, just hope for the best that they will accept.
Elisha, welcome! 🙂 Yea, pass, it’s just a matter whether they want to accept it or not since there’s two different requirements for the same thing, quite confusing.
Normally they accept average result.
william, just hope that they will, can’t do much now.
