Follow up about the result of the exam

[DEVILSCOFFIN]

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is correct. " I just want to follow up about the result of the exam."

If this is wrong how should I say it?

It's okay, but there's a space after the opening quotation mark. Don't do that.

I find your sentence somewhat ambiguous. Are you still waiting for the results of the exam, or have you had the results and now you have a follow-up question about them?

 

[GoesStation]

I understand it to mean that the writer wants to continue a previous discussion about exam results. I have a feeling this is not what Devilscoffin intended.

 

[DEVILSCOFFIN]

"I would like to follow up with the result of the exam."

Is this also correct aside from saying " I just want to follow up with the result of the exam?"

 

[DEVILSCOFFIN]

I would like to know if my grammar is correct in saying this. "I would like to follow up with the result of the exam." and "I just want to follow up with the result of the exam."

 

[DEVILSCOFFIN]

Yes, I'm still waiting for the result of the exam.

 

[DEVILSCOFFIN]

Yes, I previously asked for the result but I didn't receive any response.

I would suggest either avoiding using follow up altogether, or using something like:

I would like to follow up on the status of my exam results.
