May be you're right. If my score doesn't increase, I would probably go for IDP.
I've heard that IDP paper is lil difficult but here I guess you got the same paper.
Just login to e2language and chose tha package you are comfortable with. I was stuck at 6.5 as I said earlier so I wanted to check what am I missing(although I got 7-7.5 three times earlier, I have appeared 8 times in ielts before I started getting successful results) the package was around 1700-1800 inr one letter and one essay in exam conditions and then they give you detailed feedback of what to improve.
There are free YouTube lessons of e2, please watch those... I followed them, they are easy to grasp n u can basically form essays for each question type seeing the videos easily.
Hmmm. Sometimes applying for EOR depends on you. If it were to be listening or Reading, I would say don't bother to apply for remarking. On the other hand, if you think you had a small feeling of confidence that you did well in speaking and also you tried a bit in writing, then I you can give it a shot. You might just be lucky to have a 0.5 raise in both.
I would suggest that you identify the areas of improvement with an online teacher. I had the same issues, 6.5 for 3 times. I got my writings reviewed by e2language and found out where I lack. So basic structure issues and it worked for me. 7.5 both the times post then. Don’t try to over complicate things, keep it simple just as you would write in real life and grammar is major area to focus. I wish you all the best. I recommend IDP over BC any day..
I suggest please don't apply for EOR, there are only 2-5% people from 100 who got a raise in their results. Just utilize that money in another attempt rather than waiting and relaxing and hoping for false hopes.
You will succeed for sure!! Anytime you feel like dropping the idea to try just think why you made it so far... we need to try retry and succeed!! All the very best
