Hello all,

I have already finished my IELTS and I got the following results. I am applying through CEC and my job is type A. I know I have already met the requirement, but 6.5 in writing really makes me feel upset. (I went off topic in task 2)

Listening: 8.0
Reading: 7.0
Writing: 6.5
Speaking: 8.5
Overall: 7.5

Should I retake the test? My writing skill is definitely above 6.5, but I went off topic. Therefore, I am thinking that I should rewrite the test. However, I don't want to wait for another 3 months for the next test date. I also don't want to take a whole day off from work to write the test.

Thanks,

Why bother if you meet the language criteria already? Waste of time and money.

You need at least 6 to qualify, so you are good to go.
