[metal]

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,

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.

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.

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.
