Werner George Patels (X) German to English + ... ATA results - late | Dec 19, 2002 |
ATA results are often late, but 8 months is extreme.
It may be that, sadly, you did not pass and they \"merely\" neglected to inform you. In my experience, if you had passed, you would have heard from them by now.
Another possibility is that something went wrong with your exam papers (e.g., if you did not number all the pages, or you did not enter your candidate ID no. on each page, they will usually refuse to mark your paper).

Call them and try to find out what happened to your paper. Maggie is usually very nice and helpful.
FOLLOW-UP:
Sorry, I may have misunderstood your original query. You did not take the exam yet, correct? Well, if that\'s the case, I am afraid, they may not have an exam site near you, which is why they have not contacted you in all this time. Still, give Maggie a call; perhaps she can help you out.
