Tough luck. I used the Road to IELTS app for practice tests and IELTS liz videos are important as she gives excellent pointers for writing.
Good luck, you are almost there.

Hi Everyone,
I would like to thank this thread for giving me immense hope. I am sharing details about my attempts-
Have appeared from India for all the exams.
(L, R, W, S)
24 May 2018 Pen and Paper (IDP)- 8,7,6.5,6.5 (So here I accidentally wrote approx 650 words in the essay)
1 Sep 2018 Computerised (IDP)- 7.5,6,5.5,7.5 (This attempt was a shocker for me because I wrote 300 words and according to me I did well. In listening, I was not able to maintain my pace with the speech because we have to write answers directly on the screen)
3 Oct 2018 Computerised (IDP)- 7.5,7,6.5,7( Here again, the same thing happened to listening. The writing score was also stagnant at 6.5 despite of brushing my grammar and task response.
18 Oct 2018 Computerised (IDP)- 8.5,8,6.5,7.5 ( Finally, this attempt was my best attempt and thanks to the thread hope and faith (Canada visa forum). I enrolled for writing revaluation. Got EOR result within 2 weeks and outcomes was no change.
Then I realized that there is something I am missing on due to which I am lacking by .5 in each attempt. I referred all the videos of Liz and all the evaluations on the Hope and faith thread. After regaining confidence, I enrolled for 27th October exam pen and paper exam with BC.
27 Oct 2018 Pen and Paper(BC)- 9,9,6.5,7 ( I have read numerous success stories for BC revaluation so I applied for EOR on 20th Nov for writing and speaking. In writing this was not my best attempt because after appearing for computerized attempt it was really troublesome to rewrite the sentence as we need to erase and rewrite which becomes messy. I gave 30 minutes to letter and essay each. I completed my essay at the last minute due to which there was no time left for proofreading. At the back of my head, I was sure that my score for writing won't increase but applied for it anyway thinking that I should take a chance. Applied for speaking as well because I have been scoring 7.5 everytime and in case my writing score doesn't change then speaking will definitely change.
As BC EOR takes time so I registered for a fresh exam with IDP pen and paper-based.
1st Dec 2018 Pen and Paper (IDP)- 7,6,6.5,6.5 ( This was the result which left me shattered and I started questioning myself. As I was not able to get the desired score in any module.
It's very well said that hard work pays off. Got my BC revaluation result yesterday and my writing score increased from 6.5 to 7. It is the perfect Christmas gift and finally, the IELTS journey ends here.
If you guys want to improve your writing then please refer Hope and faith thread. Although I haven't posted many essays there but I have read all the previous evaluations and almost every post on that thread which was a big help to me.

Yes if the results are still available for that date online.
You can only apply for EOR in BC as you have taken BC IELTS.. also BC EOR is cheaper than that of IDP. All the best.
