Hi,

If someone has taken their exams and the result has been out, is it correct to say "What has been your result?"?

P.S. please let me know if you have a better and more natural sentence than this, but please do tell me if this is correct.

Great regards, Hungry

Hi Hungry

It would be better to say either "What is your score/grade?" or "What was your score/grade?"

Hi guys,

In Canada, we'd say 'mark' rather than 'score'.
