Need help with IELTS

Hi guys,
I received my IELTS results and my university has asked me to tell them my TRF number so that they can check them online.
What is a TRF number?

TRF is the test report form number. It should be on your certificate in the bottom right corner

Thanks guys! Is there any way I can get this number online? I'm away from home at the moment and I won't be able to get my hands on my certificate any time soon (as it has been posted to the address where I live)

That's really good. I got 7.5 when I took it 3-4 years ago. Mostly messed up with talking cause I had to talk for a minute about a recently made friend but I couldn't think of much to say :sigh:

As for the number, if you got the results online, try checking for it there. ( For the format, it should have 2 numbers then 2 letters for the country followed by your candidate number, first 3 letters of your surname, first letter of your first name and then 3numbers and 1 letter)

I thought my speaking part was pretty bad ha, literally all of it was about food (what type of food I like, who I eat my food with, etc.). And I got an 8.0 in my listening, missed 2 questions due to some guy coughing every now and then in the test room :colonhash:

I got 6 in my speaking :biggrin:

most of mine was my hobbies, what I watch on TV, what I like to do with my friends and stuff like that. I was fine when chatting and answering questions. But then she gave me like 30seconds to prepare and I had to ramble about a recently made friend for a minute if not more. I can't really remember since it was so long ago. And I couldn't really think of anything much to say. Managed like 2-3 sentences and went blank

Didn't do anything to be completely honest (not trying to brag), so I'm not the best person to ask. I guess it was just easy for me because I'm bilingual.. Hope my A-Levels go well too haha :colondollar:

(not Oxford btw)

P.S. My uni asked for 6.5

Yeeah I hate it so much when this happens in speaking tests.. I usually try to avoid it by not over preparing and giving spontaneous answers, first things that come to mind, almost always complete bs :u:

. Usually works for me, even in other languages (A-Levels)

I'm good at writing bs but I'm one of those people who don't really talk unless they have something to say. I can't really ramble on command unless it's something I'm passionate about. I'd probably do better now if I had to retake it. I was really shy as a kid and hadn't really gotten over that yet when I took the exam

I sometimes wish I was this way throughout my life. Not sure what caused my excessive extroversion :biggrin:

You're now in uni, I assume? Have you done A-Levels?

I did BTEC. The country differences meant that my grades were crap for whatever reason. Like I had an overall A in GCSEs equivalent qualification in my country, but because of the differences it wasn't even high enough for level 2 entry, not to mention A levels. But it worked out pretty well, they put me in level 2 to begin with, then moved to level 3. Did BTEC in IT and now starting at Cardiff uni studying Computer Science this September
