Cheers, Gorgon. She can easily pass the exam nowadays. It costs about 100 quid and she's already booked in to do it next week.
The thing is, she worked REALLY hard to get that English certificate in 2003 and she was so proud to pass it (she couldn't speak a word of English a year before). Now she feels like it was a complete and utter waste of time. I don't completely agree, but it's hard to console her.
I hate that stuff. Especially if you know you're going to be fine anyway. I had to do the IELTS exam to apply for my masters education. Absolute waste of over 200 euros to see the fact that I am indeed capable of communicating in English confirmed.
