I took one in Pearson in Manila as well mid January which frustrate mebecause they don't accept me during the exam (reason - no Passport only postal i.d as identification.) Explained my side that my Passport is with the British Embassy but no way still.
I made an Incident report. I wrote Pearson UK about what happened and they were kind enough to consider my appeal and Jan 29 midnight they phone and confirmed my re-schedule exam for free.
January 31, I received an email from Embassy stating ( The decision for our visa application has been made. Processed visa has been dispatch alreadyI am very anxious about it because I don't have a certificate yet , I did not sleep the whole night can't even eat oh ghee.
