I would like to share my story with you all. For the last 2 years, I was struggling with the IELTS exam. Like most of you guys, I was struggling with the writing module. However, my writing isn't that bad as during my second attempt I was able to score 7 in writing but the listening module ruined everything.
Fast-forwarding the past events, on Sep 28th I again decided to appear but this time opted for the CBT since I work in IT and my typing speed almost clocks up to 80 WPMS. I was a bit skeptical about the listening module on the CBT exam, as I was more comfortable with the Pencil based exam.
I got L:8 R:8.5 W:6.5 S:8
After EOR L:8 R:8.5 W:7 S:8
This was my sixth attempt, my advice to all aspirants would be that if you think you have done well in writing and money is not an issue then certainly go for an EOR.
Good Luck to everyone.
