Passed

I just received my CPE (Certificate of Proficiency in English) results. Got a C (translates to a 3 for all those Austrian bastards reading this) with exceptional writing skills. I am now officially able to

• advise on or talk about complex or sensitive issues, understanding colloquial references.
• understand documents, correspondence and reports, including the finer points of complex texts.
• write letters on any subject and full notes of meetings or seminars with good expression and accuracy.

So in the end my 350 euros were well invested and I can now apply for my fancy Imperial College London course on Advanced Computational Methods for Aeronautics, Flow Management and Fluid-Structure Interaction. Yay!
