Sorry but I disagree, I work with plenty of native English speakers (I'm also a native English speaker, btw) and I don't understand some of them, or they have a tendency to ramble or not relay information properly. There is no way some of them would score over 8.

I don't think it's too much to practice reading passages and practice writing / speaking succinctly, especially if it's been a long time out of school. How exactly would you change the test to make it more "fair"?

hey Australia.ind would you like to share with us your IELTS score?

australia.ind

Sure.
Reading : 6,Listening :7.5,Writing 7.5,Speaking : 6.5, (O) :7

I was worried for writing during preparation,but in exam reading was very difficult ,thought I may score less than 6.0.But luckily scored exactly 6.

I have exactly 8 years and 1 month of experience till today .So 60 points will do,and also received invitation yesterday.

Hello Everybody,

I took the IELTS Test 4 weeks ago with a pretty good outcome - Listening 7.5, Reading 7, Writing 8.5, Speaking 7.5.

Nevertheless I'm thinking to repeat the test, as I want to claim 20 Points for the language competency.

Does anyone know what will happen if I should deteriorate?

Do I have to submit the exam details ever or can I just sweep the result under the carpet and pretend it never happened?

Thank you very much for your comments in advance.

Cheerio

Hi Al,

As long as the results are valid, you can submit whichever you choose, so if you do worse in your next test, just go with the first result. However, if you have enough points with your current result, then I wouldn't bother repeating the test.

Good luck

hey australia.in i took my test today. worried about speaking module, examiner asked very difficult questions. any idea how they mark your speaking.

There are no "right answers". They are considering your fluency and use of language. It is a difficult exam and is a real cash-spinner for Cambridge and IELTS-Australia who are the dual providers.

Wish you all the best with results.

Eager to hear good result from you.
cheers!
