my partner kasi is in saudi arabia (riyadh) nag take siya nang ielts nya last march 31. but we heard rumors na people who took their ielts nang first week ng march until now wala paden daw results. may delay daw or something. although sa thursday pa yung ika 14th day from the time na nag exam si partner, im just worried baka ma delay din yung result nya since may back log sila of delayed results as early as the first week of march. im just trying to figure out if this is something that's also happening in qatar.

Sa kompanya ko po kasi bawal umabsent nang sabado. Ang duty ko nagsisimula nang 3pm hanggang 11pm. Kung magtake ako ng IELTS, aabot kaya ako sa duty ko?
Kung hindi kasi, sa Pilipinas ko na lang siya itake.
