IELTs Tests

Yesterday I went for my test. We left the children alone at home and Joe sent me there. The listening, reading and writing test was 3 hrs flat and I was dead tired after that. My speaking test was at 1.20pm and after taking my lunch, I was back at the centre for the test.

I find the reading test quite challenging and I think I did not score well. I had no time to check my answers at all. As for the speaking test, I was already so tired that I really did not bother to impress the teacher.

The oral test only lasted 20 mins and I was off shopping at Broadway shopping centre. Joe brought the kids for their Chinese lesson before he could come to fetch me. By the time I see Joe, I had throbbing headache.

After we reached home, I had a rest and took a painkiller but I could not go to sleep. Children back at 5pm and we quickly changed our clothes and out of the house at 6pm for the National Dinner.

I had a talk with Joe and I told him I do not want to go through the ordeal of taking the test again. The children and I are going home next year Dec so there is really no need to become PR. The application will cost $4800 and if the application lasted a year, we will back in singapore by then. Eve though kids love the school here, they need to go back Singapore no matter what. The earlier we go back, the more they are able to adapt back to the Singapore system.

Actually I hate the weather here so I really don't see the need to apply for PR. :>
