I think the whole scoring system needs to be more transparent, the IELTS official won't bother to tell the candidates which questions they answered wrong, which means they can do whatever with the number of correct answers in reading/ listening and announce the score...
I agree. They should at least release a key so that we know whether to apply for re-evaluation.
It also helps if they provide a copy of our answe sheets. This will help us check if the answers and spellings we put in are correct. I would pay an additional $10-20 if they make it a standard.
I don't remember the questions. But I borrowed them from a post above.
1 cooking meals - I don't remember which para, but one says that you have a kitchen.
2 stable - same the word stable is in the para
3 vegetarian meals - it is also mentioned in one of the para
4 banquet - same as before
5 B
6 what’s to do to first use - plug it -->Correct
7 local peak time - 2.5p -->Correct
8 free talk per month - £4.5 -->Correct
9 free credit I am sure.
17 cover letter -->correct
18 documents --> or something. You must get it from the text. If the text says document then documentation is wrong and vice versa.

39 goal is to protect the books - F/G third last para -->can't remember
40 condition of books - G/H second last para --> can't remember
I remember the city name was Oudane.
In IELTS the case doesn't matter unless it is a proper noun. TRUE, true, True... all are evaluated as correct. At least that is what IELTS Liz says.
Can you share with us how you got 9 in Reading? And how to write T or TRUE and any tips if possible
Would much appreciate
Thnx
I took a course in one of the centers. The instructor was an examiner. She told us you write it TRUE FALSE NOT GIVEN. It is a gray zone and maybe depend on the examiner. But my instructor was given me zero for each point I do without taking care of the case (upper lower) include true fLse questions. She was strict about it and I believe other examiner might be strict as well.

Think depends on the examiner and the center. To be in the safe side I used TRUE FALSE NOT GIVEN
