Well to be honest its a bit off topic and i guess that is the reason why you got 6.5. Its important to understand that question is about the important keywords here are time and convenience. While you can mention some of the other points, i believe you definitely have to focus on the earlier mentioned points, which I believe didn't happen and may be that is the only reason why you scored .5 less. Besides, your opinion didn't suggested if you agreed or partially agreed or completely disagreed.
I may be wrong but that is my opinion.
Thanks for your response. But the question didn't ask to discuss both views. I can see I didn't directly answer the agree or disagree part quite well, but it seems obvious throughout the essay. Anyways, I really appreciate your response

While I do agree it was not about discussing both views, it is always advisable to stick to question content before using external keywords and my friend nothing is obvious in IELTS, you are required to explicitly respond to the basic question. Again my observation rest you can get your essay evaluated from a professional IELTS teacher.

I called up today and they said that the rechecking results for 19th January are ready. However, they will not update the revised score online.. We have to wait for the new TRF to be delivered..
I guess, that was different in my case, yesterday they told me it may take few more days. Hope so it gets resolved with positive outcome, as soon as possible.

Hey guys,

New to this forum and have been reading up on all the posts here. Wanted to know your opinion on my situation.

I just got my IELTS results and got 9/7/8/8.5 in L/R/W/S. This was the very first time that I had appeared for the test. The 7 in Reading has left me hanging somewhere between a CLB 9 and a CLB 10. Had I got an 8 there I would have had CLB 10 but I am short by 3 points now.

I know a lot of websites and forums state that asking for a remark for Reading or Listening is pointless since the marking for these are generally straightforward. However, I never scored below 8 in any of the practice tests that I was doing prior the actual exam and I even found the actual IELTS reading test pretty easy. I had verified my answers prior to turning in the answer sheets to the examiner and was actually confident of at least an 8 there so this score came in as a rude shock.

Is there any possibility of a clerical error when it comes to marking the Reading or Listening sections? Has anyone had any success with asking for a remark for these sections?

I have no intention of sitting for the exam again since I still think that my overall score is decent. The 3 points would put me in a much more comfortable position than the one I am in now though.
Go ahead an apply... but don't get your hopes up though.... The way i would look at this is that looking back, you shouldn't have any regrets...

Thanks for enlightening me earlier, after checking properly, I kind of agree with you, most of the times the examiners do not have time to read all your essay, so it is safe to stick to the keywords of the essay.

Please take a look at my new approach towards the essay question, and share your opinion. I am aware you are not an ielts teacher, just need to hear from you. Thank you, see new approach below:

Cooking is an integral part of processing raw food to make it edible. While some believe that the whole process is a sheer waste of time and energy, they are also of the opinion that it is easier and faster to purchase food from outdoor restaurants and fast foods. This essay will discuss why I agree that cooking is a waste of time and further discuss why it is better to purchase food from eateries.

To embark on, cooking consists of various methods such as mixing ingredients, baking and frying e.t.c. Without proper cooking skills, one would only be wasting precious time on trying to fix a meal, which may turn out to be tasteless and eventually not solve hunger problems. A recent study by the food and nutrition department of University of Lagos shows that 75% of unskilled people who have tried out cooking, agrees that they would rather have preferred to spend their time on other activities than to cook.

Furthermore, the modern day lifestyle does not really give room to tasks such as cooking, when in most cases it is really faster and cheaper to visit outdoor restaurants to get food. With the numerous pressure people get from work, it is only proper to resent to easier ways to get food, other than expend quality time to deal with work to cooking. As an example, very productive people at work rarely spare out time to cook, knowing they can get ready made food quicker and less expensive, thereby fully focusing all their energy and time on proffering solutions to the task at hand.

In conclusion, cooking is basically a waste of quality time, when people can conveniently acquire food from restaurants, which is way cheaper than cooking and very suitable for modern lifestyle.
