IELTS remark
 
Hi All,
I would like to know chances of winning IELTS writing module re-check. I am some of you here could have done it and would like to know your experiences.
My current score reads
L-8.0
R-8.0
W-6.5
S-8.0

I need at least 7 in each module:(

Hi Vinod,

Only 6.5 for writing?

"I am [?] some of you here could have done it. "

Probably you need to read your own output more carefully :-)

Seems to me that you've got a chance for a remark up to 7.0 on the basis of a "jagged profile". Depends on the IELTS people, good luck!

Cheers,

George Lombard

Thanks George. Yes, I should have read carefully before clicking "post" button. Thanks for reminding me . I actually meant " some, here on this forum could have done writing re-check successfully.

I did miss magic 7 by 0.5 margin 3 times now. Really frustrating, last time in reading module and this time writing module. My overall of 7.5 is of no use :rofl: bit surprising but that's how it is.

Hi All,
I would like to share my happiness with all of you. My writing band has been increased from 6.5 to 7.0 , Now my score reads
L-8.0
R-8.0
W-.7.0
S-8.0
Overall-8.0

This has come as great relief. Now I can claim additional 10 points which boosted my total 189 points to 70. I reckon I have a fair chance for an invite now.

IELTS hasn't come that easy for me and I had to overcome all the frustration. It took me 5 good attempts to receive what I require. Take a look at score

Attempt 1:
L-7.0 R-7.0 W-6.5 S-7.0
Attempt 2:
L-8.0 R-7.0 W-6.5 S-8.0
Attempt 3:
L-7.5 R-7.5 W-6.5 S-7.5
Attempt 4:
L-8.0 R-6.5 W-7.5 S-8.0
Attempt 5:
L-8.0 R-8.0 W-7.0 S-8.0

I never gave up bez I don't have any option other than passing out.
I would like wish whoever taking IELTS all the best!

How long did it take for you to get your results? Was it only 4 weeks?

you can also try for a reamrk, as writing is subjective, however, this would take almost 6-8 weeks.
