Agggg 
It was terrible! I will need more that 60 per cent in marks to pass it, but I'm not sure to get it. In genera itl was difficult because there were too much vocabulary about sports and i don't know too much about it. And in the speaking it happens the worse thing, even it was as well comical! It was a simple interview, and I jus had to answer simple, without complicate myself... But i did the opposite and... when I was asked about What movie are you going to watch nextly? I replied...
And then of noticed my great mistake I even hadn't enough voice in my throat to say ... I don't remember well the name of the movie... LOL Ridicule!
Most people is trying to sheer me up, the 26th of April we will know the results!

Ooooohhhhh fu&s!! What a nightmare! It's bringing back all my memories of taking my French and German oral exams. *shudder*.
However, I passed both of mine, although I have no idea how I passed German! It was REALLY bad. But I did! and I want you to take heart from this, because post-exam analysis is always magnified wholly (hehe) in favour of all the mistakes made and never in favour of all the good things that were said/written. I'm sure they don't expect you to be fluent and 100% grammatically correct, etc. They just want you to have a good grasp of the language in general and I'm sure you did. Don't forget, also, that even though you may have made a comical error in answering the film question, you did understand the question and answered it! So that's good! If they give you a really bad mark for that answer, I'd say the examiner was being really unfair! Also, I would argue that 'movie' isn't an English term, it's American  and they should have asked you which film you were going to see next. You can tell them I said this, if you get a bad mark.  
Good luck for the outcome!

Well now, if they give you a bad mark, there's no defence!

Holy Smokes Fedupandstressed! That's sooo close, very unlucky!  Normally when results are that close to what you need you can appeal the exam mark decision given?  |

That's outrageous! What kind of exam board gives marks in point something of a number???? I'd at least try admin's suggestion of appealing.
Really feel for you fu&s. Such a close call. *hugs*

This is the most strange to me... the mark is not a cuantity... they say... excellent, good or failed... and I'm good in everything less in the listening where they put me between failed and good! (but there is no numbers!) I do not understand it at all!

Well, if they have 3 categories how can you be halfway between? And you did say that they awarded you 59.100 - which is a number.
If it was me, I'd write to them and ask for an explanation on the marking system. Give them some work to do. Haha.
