I met with Kubra at CIES. Kubra was very upset about her experience with the IELTS. Kubra stated that although the exam material was all with American English, the first part of the test, which was a listening exercise, was in British accent and she had great difficulty. This experience create a lot of stress and when it was time for the reading exercise, she could not concentrate. Kubra thought she did well on the writing section. When it was time for the interview, she waited and waited. No one called her. She continued to wait and was getting more and more stressed. When she finally received some help, she was told her interviewer was sick and to wait and someone else would be with her. She reports waiting in an empty room with no clock and nothing on the walls for an extended period of time. Once someone arrived to do the interview, she found them to be very cold and unkind. Kubra states that when her fiance picked her up, he was alarmed at how she looked. It turns out that she had hives all over her face and body.
