I don't think the answer was technical error..Ben said he forgot to press the recording, so we can't categorise that as technical error... There was another option of "data cannot be used"

I agree that was tricky.. I opted for technical error but it could easily be interpreted as data can’T be used

For section 1, first seven questions, I had three false, three true, and one NG. The Not given was the question about Pensioners ticket and MCA (something) tickets were purchased at the same place. The text never mentioned where pensioners can be purchased from.

For last section, I put:

35: A (helps with food intake... I am not sure about this as I simply couldn't find the third use)
36: B (to discourage pests)
37: C (used as currency to pay for services)

38: False (it said green peppercorn was collected when they were most unripe... That was my reasoning)
39: True (It was in one of the paragraphs where it mentioned ancient times pepper was used to neutralize food that was well passed its best days.)
40: Not Given ( i spent great deal of finding this but simply couldn't)

37: C (used as currency to pay for services) - wasn't this used for peppercorns?i guess it was asking for pepper ( i mentioned to discourage pests/for decoration on food and to prepare dessert)

Even if he forgot to press the button, the problem will be technical error. Because it was connected with recording, which couldn't be used, from my point of view.

The question said the first picked is black pepper while in the

Text it said the one picked green is pepper. So I think the answer is false. We can't assume the green one is the o e picked first

It mentioned green is picked when most unripe, so it means green is picked first.

In my opinion, the recorder could be used just that he forgot to press the recording Burton... That's very tricky anyways, let's wait for results... All the best to us...

Dont worry mate. If you have covered every point, its should be fine then. Word limit shouldnt be bringing you down.
Last time i wrote my essay with 211 words only but still got 7.

Thank you. I have just been praying the whole time. Really hoping some miracle happens

Is 15th October right? Coz it said only one word or one number...was pretty confused and finally settled fotlr 15th alone

Yes 15th October, October 15 both are correct.

Does anyone know how particular IELTS is about using hyphens in listening answers? Like in the listening test I wrote head-office instead of head office . Will it be wrong?

Unfortunately, this will be wrong buddy because it is head office Last time I made this same mistake for non smoking. I didn't include hyphen so I was told it is marked as wrong

 

[SithLord]

And I wrote re-trained instead of retraining any idea what will happen?

I am not sure about this. Even I wrote retraining, there are few who say retrained is correct

 

[SithLord]

I remember concerns at some point...leaders should discuss and solve any concern arising in the team ( or something along these lines)

Yes I wrote concerns somewhere too

I am not sure about this. Even I wrote retraining, there are few who say retrained is correct

It is retrained only. Because I surely remember it was like _____ and transfered.

So transfered was in past tense so retrained has to be in past tense. Retraining cannot fit

I

I feel it's right

Was H below the junction or was I below it? Do you remember?

 

[Ritesh2310]

Not sure about map
I wrote D B I H

Was H below the junction of road or was I below the junction? Do you remember?

And I wrote re-trained instead of retraining any idea what will happen?

Retrained is right only as it was retrained and transferred so it will not be retraining.
