Overall 8.5 US

L 8.5
R 9
W 7
S 8.5

I'm pretty shocked at my writing score. I'm positive I hit the word count. Considering the recount but that looks insanely expensive. Pretty sick of being ripped off by ielts, not sure if I should give them more of my money.

Overall 8 (IDP India)
L 8
R 9
W 7
S 8.5

I too am perplexed about my W score since I too was pretty much slightly above the word count.

Discretion of the examiner is strange at times.

However, what makes me wonder is that with a cumulative score of 33 , you have an overall band of 8.5 while mine is an 8 with a cumulative 32.5

Isn't it taken as an average and rounded off ?

Trying to understand the nearest decimals value here as even a single point matters during CRS points calculations.

Any thoughts ?

For writing, you should try finding evaluator's comments on essays, this is the best way to understand what you need to get a higher score in my opinion.

I used those books published by Cambridge, they either have essays written by evaluators or submitted by test takers, in which case there are also comments explaining why the specific piece of writing was awarded a particular score. I had not written any significant piece of text in last 10 years and was really worried by looking at the scores my friends used to get in writing. I mostly focussed on understanding what is needed to get a good score and got 7.5 for writing in my first attempt after spending a week in practice.

Once you have a good idea of what the evaluator wants, all you need to do is practice. Also, it is very important to understand the question well and in your answer, cover what the answer demands.

well, thanks for your suggestions. Will surely work on this to get better scores !!

Scahin's given some good feeback
I'd recommend going with the Cambridge's books
They've got good input for writing,whilst the word count is important - addressing and tackling the type of question asked especially with Section 2 and using the right tone and language for the letter (whether it is formal or informal) will go a long way in hitting the requisite band

Hi
If the average of the four components ends in .25, the Overall Band Score is rounded up to the next half band, and if it ends in .75, the Overall Band Score is rounded up to the next whole band. If the average ends with a fraction below .25 or .75, the overall score is rounded down.
Since yours was below 8.25 it got rounded down to 8

Not yet! I'm looking forward to hearing about it.
There are several reasons for withholding:
-Random quality check
-high band scores especially when the difference between skills are more than 2 scores
-difference in handwriting
...
I got an email due to the random check ! Yours was the same reason?
My exam was general, how about yours?
Thanks
