Well her new passport came last tuesday... First thing she did when she got it was book her b1 exam.. Which she took the same week (saturday).... Got the result sunday morning 4.30am!!!! PASSED
Jeez those £150 for an exam to prove she can speak english and listen!!

All good and moving forward to your end result

Yeh... Just 8 weeks and then its next part of her visa.... Jeez... Where did the time go

UPDATE
=======
We attended the Philippines Embassy on Wednesday 21 September '22 to apply for my wife's new Philippines passport (having extended it for a year, by post/online, last year).
The new passport arrived by Special Delivery today, so 8 weeks to the day from the appointment. The odd thing I noticed on the new passport was - Date of Issue: 30 September '22, so only 9 days after the appointment!
Makes you wonder what's been going on in the background since then?

Probably issue the new number authorising then sent to print then dispatch
