Dear All,

I appeared for my IELTS General Test (BC) on 7th Jan 2017 in Riyadh. Results were supposed to be declared on Fri 20th Jan 2017, however, I received an email from the Test center on Thursday Mid-Night stating Results withheld for scrutiny. Below is the email I received,


Dear Candidate,

Same issue. I took it with BC in London. When I rang them, they said that they should declare it in 6 weeks. I don't want to wait that long in case I dont get my desired score. I have booked IELTS on 11th Feb.

One of my friend's results were withheld and he received in 10 business days. He too appeared in BC Riyadh somewhere in November 2016. He received Scores via SMS.

Unfortunately, I received my result after one week of investigation. I'm sure i did well but i was shocked when i saw the results on website.

R:6.5 L:7 W:5.5 S:6

I'm sure this isn't my result, but i will not request remarking (EOR) because the previous EOR took more than 10 weeks for the result to appeared.
