Just got my scores for my 2nd attempt in ielts,scored 8 speaking,8.5 listening,6.5 writing and 8.5 reading,what are my chances of having an extra 0.5 in writing
Even if i was slightly offtopicintensecool said:File a recheck you will get it.
I am getting almost 50 points less because of the 6.5 in writing instead of 7raven00090 said:I got 3 points less in Express Entry because of 0.5 less in Writing.
Then I would say you are wasting your time if you are giving it for a re-check. Just prepare better and re-take the exam. That is what even I am going to do. Because you do not know whether the re-checking will go in your favour or not. Uncertain path. Giving it again and scoring better however, is in your control.I am getting almost 50 points less because of the 6.5 in writing instead of 7
If you are confident that you have done well in Writing, then go for revaluation/remarking. I think, you will get a 0.5 increase as your other module scores look really good, writing score if not the same should be close to other scores. Please note the whole process would take around 8 weeks and will cost you close to 50% of the actual test fees. If your score changes, you will get your money back.raven00090 said:I got 3 points less in Express Entry because of 0.5 less in Writing.

His blog is very helpful and I got 7 for writing in my first test by following his instruction and reading his samples, though my speaking was 6.5.
I applied for remarking and failed, and will give a second try on August 20th.
My score will also rise by ~50 if I can score 7 for speaking.
Best wishes for both of us and all the test takers.
To be honest i did better in the first exam and scored 7 so am not sure if i will score more this timeStanlee said:If you are confident that you have done well in Writing, then go for revaluation/remarking.
