Category: Exams and Results

Thank you to those of you who attended the IELTS Booking meeting today.

We will be taking the exam on Saturday 28th May at London Central.

You can see the presentation slides below for your reference.

Please remember to tell me when you have booked and to give me the details of your booking. If I don’t receive these, your teachers and I will nag you for the rest of term.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

Congratulations! You’ve made it through your first week back!

Thank you to those of you who attended the IELTS Booking meeting today, and especial thanks to those of you who have already told me the details of your booking.

You can see the presentation slides below for your reference.

Please note two slight changes from when I gave the presentation earlier today:

1. Since IELTS no longer lets you add a new organization, make sure that you set your home/postal address as the school:​ EF International Language Campus, Pullens Lane, Oxford, OX3 0DT​
2. When you tell me the date and location of your exam, please also tell me whether you have booked for Paper-based or Computer-delivered. I’m tracking student preferences about this for our records.

Please remember to tell me when you have booked and to give me the details of your booking. If I don’t receive these, your teachers and I will start nagging you next week.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.

Here it is, the moment everyone’s been waiting for: Exam Timetables for next week are out!

Please check your efupox.co.uk emails for your personalized timetable, including locations and your ALS Speaking exam details.

All exams will take place in school on Monday and Tuesday next week. If you fail any exams, you will take the resit exams on Friday 3^rd December.

Please see below details of your exam timetable:

Monday 29^th November

Module	Time
EAP	09:00-10:00
Specialist Modules	12:00-13:30

Tuesday 30^th November

Module	Time
ALS (Written)	09:00-11:00
ALS Speaking	20mins between 14:00-17:00

The times and locations will also appear on your EF Campus Connect app and website, except for ALS Speaking, for which you need to refer to your email.

All exams will take place on paper (except the Speaking, obviously). Please make sure that you bring writing implements (pens and pencils) and spares and refills.

Of course, you will not be allowed to take notes, books or electronic devices into the exam with you, nor will you be allowed to communicate with other candidates or anyone else apart from the invigilator during the exam. If you break these rules, you will be disqualified and score zero for the exam.

If you fail any of these exams, you will have one opportunity to retake the exam. If this is you, we will tell you at the end of Wednesday 1^st December and you will retake the exams on Friday 3^rd December.

We will then be marking, double-marking and moderating your exams. We hope to be able to give you your provisional scores for the term on Friday 10^th December.

Naturally, we understand that this is an anxious and stressful time for you. If you have any concerns or feel worried or overwhelmed, do not hesitate to speak to either myself or the Welfare team.

It only remains for me to wish you the very best of luck. As always, if you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact me.
