Remark Success rate

hirasalam said:
Hello everyone,
After being hopelessly depressed and submitting EoR with mixed feelings, I received a very pleasant surprise in mail today. I got my remarked TRF within a week and writing score changed from 6.5 to 7.5 taking my language points from CLB 8 to CLB 10.
So, my sincere advice to everyone who is sure they did better on their exam is to take their chance with remarking.

Best of luck.
Prayers for everyone who is going through the traumatizing journey of remarking.

As per your timeline. AEO is pretty fast in declaring EOR results. I waited for mine from British Council for 7 weeks and refund form was delivered to their office last week. Still to hear from them lolz. Anyways considering the pleasant news of successful EOR, it was money well spent.

Thanks. I was cent percent sure that i didn't deserve that low score in writing. Despite my pretty bad handwriting, i managed to write sufficient quality content that could get me a 7. The original result was very heartbreaking. I have lost confidence over British Council now. Plus, their customer support sucks. I would prefer IDP over them next time if i ever had to sit IELTS (May god never makes this come true and i get my PR before that!) :D

Got my EOR results. Tats negative.. score remains unchanged for speaking (6.5) :( need to resit on 14th October. Thanks for ur advice and updates guys. Wish others get positive results in their remarking. :)

For those who are thinking about remark... Don't see myself as an example. It varies wit individuals. Apply only if you are cent percent confident. That's my advice. Great day.!

I didn't take any classes. Prepared all on my own. My only source of preparation was ieltsliz.com and couple of practice tests from IELTS Cambridge books.

As far as increase in score is concerned, i applied for remarking of my writing and speaking modules against my original result (6.5 bands each). The increase in score is a result of EOR. I only attempted the test once.

Dear All,


Regarding EOR / remarking, I am facing huge delays to receive the result. Just wondering if anyone also facing the same issue.

I appeared for IELTS in Bahrain on 13th May 2017 & applied for remarking only in writing module, I was told to wait for 6-8 weeks to get the result, now from 27th May 2017 till now it’s been 14 weeks plus ( almost 3 & half month ) but till now my result is not ready. Almost every day I am calling British Council Bahrain & they are unable to give me even estimated time to receive my result. Frustration level is getting increased day by day, if I look at my personal schedule I am unable to re-sit for exams.

Please share your experience if anyone faced the same & if the excuse of system down is logical by British Council.
