IELTS Results
 

Today i got my IELTS Result which is L-6.5, R-6.5, W-5.5, S-6. :ohmy: My thinking is that my writing was quite well to achieve at least 6 Bands, but they given only 5.5. Can i check or request British Council to Re-Check my paper anyway ?

Re: IELTS Results
 

there is a provision in IELTS for rechecking of written exam, as written exam is checked manually, its worth going for it as you would require 0.5 more to get through IELTS.


All the best for rechecking if you are going for it

Re: IELTS Results
 

Can you guide me how to proceed for that ?

One more thing anyone have web link for writing practice material please.

Re: IELTS Results
 

There is a link to a form in the final question in the FAQ section here.

http://www.britishcouncil.org/switze...ielts-faqs.htm

Note it takes 8 - 10 weeks and costs £60 for a remark although this will be refunded if you do get upgraded. I would consider a resit too, you could do with brushing up on spelling and grammar.

(I am really not saying that in a nasty way, just giving you an honest appraisal so you think twice about before possibly wasting your time and money on a remark).

Re: IELTS Results
 

My Spouse has taken exam in Lahore on 9 Jan. I am still searching for the results on Britishcouncil website but still not getting the result.

Has Lahore Result announced and updated or not.

Very tensed please guide.

Re: IELTS Results
 

If she took on the 9th I don't think it will be out until tomorrow will it? I am not sure about that website anyway, mine never showed up on there although it arrived in the post just fine.

Re: IELTS Results
 

I could access my results online without any problems back then.
But I think they were only available on the 13th day 6 p.m. GMT ...

Re: IELTS Results
 

Yahoooooooooo! My Spouse has done that.

I hv recently got the results and she has done it with

L=4.5 R=4.5 W=5.5 S=4.5 OA=5



Thank you all.

Re: IELTS Results
 

Hi FriendForEver

Requesting will take same time as much as you can re appear for test and also rechecking is not free of cost .... so it is now your wish to go for re checking or re appear again in IELTS

Best of luck !!!!!

Re: IELTS Results
 

Hi friends
I am kind of stuck with similar issue here where i was awarded 6.5 in reading and writing 8.5 in listening and 7 in speaking ,while the target score required 7 in each.
So i am thinking to reappear for the test .the catch is that the whole process to get test date ,and final TRF may take another 5-7 weeks .while i can still apply with the same score however my total score would be 10 points less(120 as of now).
Can i apply with current score and update DIAC with my updated score (hoping the next one will be better )..any thoughts ..Can i use the same process for state sponsorship....
please advice

Re: IELTS Results
 

If you have 120 score without 7 in each of IELTS, why you need 7 in each. Please note 120 or 130 does not make any diffrence to DIAC. they are one and the same thing.

Re: IELTS Results
 

Thanks a bunch ..:) .
Correct me if i am wrong but somewhere i read higher scores are processed first ...Can I confirm what you have told me from somewhere ....Just in case i may need to reappear...

Re: IELTS Results
 

No higher scores are not processed first. it makes no difference.

Re: IELTS Results
 

I don't think its true.
DIAC has set a guideline about visa processing priorities, so if you could go to a category which has higher priority in processing then it will make the process fast.

Re: IELTS Results
 

The IELTS Information sheet show that it will take 6-8 week for Re-Marking request to process. At my station next available date is 12th Feb, I think it will be more suitable for me to Re-Take.

Please if someone has any website having practice material specially for writing test, I will be very thank full.

Re: IELTS Results
 

Hi,

If you are an accountant than you have to have 7 in all.

Re: IELTS Results
 

I fall under asco 2231-79 Oracle siebel professional ....

Re: IELTS Results
 

Then you need 6 in each dear. Did you got MODL on Assessment ? If so i think u don't need to worry about 7.

Re: IELTS Results
 

Thanks for the info buddy .My ACS letter says that i am suitable for ASCO COde 2231-79 Siebel specialist so i guess that gets me MODL.

Re: IELTS Results
 

Does it mention that you are on MODL or any sentence like "You have 12 Months experience in the designated profession ? " My consultant (Althoug i withdraw my case from him) told me that it should be mentiond to claim MODL points.

Re: IELTS Results
 

Yes it does says so....

Re: IELTS Results
 

Congratulation and Move forward now.

Best of Luck in next phase.

Re: IELTS Results
 

I did my exam through IDP from New Delhi, India, last month on 11th Feb and I got my result on 24th feb.
I did this exam 4th time but I have not scored 7 in each component in one sitting. My latest IELTS score is Listening: 8, Speaking 7.5, Reading: 7 and writing: 6.
Last time, I got 7 in writing but 6.5 in reading.

I have applied for re-checking of my wriitng section this time but I think it will take another 3 weeks to get my result. I will not do this exam again if my marks dont get increased as I have already done it 4 times and have spent so much money to give this exam.

I am an acccountant by profession. I need to file Visa for permanent residency in Australia. I have scored 120 points on the basis of my occupation(60), age factor (30), work experience (10), IELTS (15) and 5 points on behalf of my spouse.

There is a special requirement for Accountants to score 7 in each component of IELTS exam apart from scoring 120 points to file visa application.

If I file for permanent residency, then it will not be processed on priority. How long will take take if I file for permanent residency with these scores?
I cant even get state sponsorship from Adelaide, South Australia as for that also I need 7 in each component of IELTS.

It seems like I am stuck in a cage where only IELTS 7 can solve my problem.
Any expert advise?

With Regards

Re: IELTS Results
 

Your best bet is to keep plugging away at the IELTS until you have 7 in every band. You can lodge an application with less than 7 but it will be subject to lower priority processing and pure speculation, but if the 7 were to become mandatory for accountants in the next SOL update, your application is just going to sit there and never move.

I am not really sure why this particular requirement is only there for accountants, I would have thought that plenty of occupations require strong English skills but the rule is the rule..

Re: IELTS Results
 

Your can lodge your 175 application, try IELTS for 7 and SS in another option.

Re: IELTS Results
 

I have already spent 40,000 Rs. just to give IELTS exam and there is no success. I have really good english and seems like Australian embassy has just given a good business to IDP and British Council. I am really tired of doing this exam. I am confused whether to file my visa or not?

Re: IELTS Results
 

Being an Accountant, if you don't have IELTS 7 in all sections your application will be handled at very low priority, and you may not get PR for next 2-3 years! If the changes coming in June Knockout Accountants with less than IELTS 7 score, it may get delayed further.

If you score IELTS 7 in all categories, your application will be at high priority, and you may get PR within 1 year (approximate) time !

INR 40,000 may not be huge sum when converted to AUD! Per sitting you are paying 220-240AUD only. If you go to Australia early, you can earn these expenses by working for 1 week time (Every day you would earn money paid for at-least 2 attempts!). So, keep trying IELTS till you get IELTS7. There are plenty of trainings around, many promise to make you get IELTS 7, why not try one of them?

Re: IELTS Results
 

Thanks for your early reply. I work in a call centre and my job requires me to communicate regularly with english speaking customers. My friend suggested me to attend IELTS coaching classes, which I actually took and my teacher said I should be able to score 7 in each component. I am perfect to get 7 in each section but IDP and British Council simply dont give marks to general training candidates. I think this is all because of Indian media who is actually responsible for spoiling australian image. I think they dont need anymore people from India. I need to go to Adelaide, South Australia but need 7 in each component for that as well. I am really disturbed with it.

Re: IELTS Results
 

The fate of your is shared by many and i am in same boat ..writing i guess for me is a pain for being dependent on word processors to autocorrect trivial mistakes without me noticing.....
But on the same lines there folks with 7 and above ..so do not give up ...

Re: IELTS Results
 

I am really pissed off and dont have so much money to spend on IELTS again. I have already taken 4 chances and 5th chance by applying for re-checking. There seems to be no end. I have no surety that if I give this exam again then nothing wrong will happen. This time I got 6 in writing and last month it was 7. Dont know what happened in 1 month that I forgot to write.

Re: IELTS Results
 

Hi!!!

I got my positive skill assessment from CPA as an Accountant. I am scoring 115 (60 points for occupation + 30 points for age+ 10 points for 3 years work experience + 15 points for IELTS) whereas I need 120 for Australian Permanent residency.

I have NOT scored 7 in each section of IELTS as I got 8 in listening, 7.5 in speaking, 7 in reading and 6 in writing.

Can I get South Australian State Sponsorship with these scores and apply for Permanent Residency in South Australia?

If Yes, then how long this process will take?

Re: IELTS Results
 

Totally agree, there are numerous occupations that need good English skills but have been getting away with 5 in IELTS until recently, and now only 6 is needed for most occupations. I guess it is the "over supply" of accountants that is the problem. At least most accountants have done their studies by well known universities, and they always try to work as accountants......unlike an army of cooks who have studied in backstreet residence factories and after graduation and P.R (with 5 in IELTS) become taxi drivers... No offence to the real cooks (who are few and far between).

Re: IELTS Results
 

Hi Reddy, I am in Australia for a long time, would you please suggest me a profession where every day I can earn money paid for at-least 2 attempts? Just to refresh your memory it comes up to 310x2 = 620 dollars......and all that for a new immigrant?

Re: IELTS Results
 

I keep seeing many Contract Job Postings (Mostly from 3M to 6M) posted on Seek for $500 to $650/Day, or $60 to $80 per hour. I took earnings reference from there.

Re: IELTS Results
 

There are some jobs that pay that much, sure, but they don't, in any way, represent what a new immigrant would earn in any profession. These wages are typically paid to professionals with 10 or more years of experience, and I dont think they represent a vast majority of working people in Australia, who on the average take home around 200 dollars per 8 or 9 hour day after taxes....I am just trying to give a fair picture to the potential immigrants...cheers.

Re: IELTS Results
 

i have applied for re-checking my Writing module and got 0.5 increased. It was a time consuming process.

Re: IELTS Results
 

In my IELTS exam, I scored 8 in listening, 7.5 in speaking, 7 in reading and 6 in writing. I was confident to score more than 7 in each module. I applied for re-checking of writing section and got my result yesterday but there is no change in my score. It was a waste of time and money.
