IELTS Re-evaluation Expectation for 0.5 correction in Writing

[tdb_canada]

My wife has the following score -

L 8.5
R 8
W 6.5
S 8
Total 8

because of 6.5 in W we are loosing close to 55 points, so I have applied for re-evaluation only for W and we have given the exam through IDP India in Delhi.

What are the odds of getting a 7 in W, are they in favor or against ?

I want to know from the experts - if she should start preparing again or if there is a chance in this case ?

Thanks in advance,
TDB

From what I hear, if there is a difference of 2 or more points between bands, they get automatically re-checked. On the other hand, writing is very subjective, so there is a good chance of increased score, especially with such consistently good results in other parts. I would say if money and time are not a problem (7-10weeks wait), then go for it.

Thanks Hercaz

Appreciate your help.

We have already given it for re-evaluation, so we are keeping the fingers crossed.

I suggest to re-write the exam with British Council. If you get better score in re-evaluation it is good otherwise you have to re-apply after 10 weeks which is a long time.

writing has a scope for improvement in revaluation, the only concern is time

good luck

I had a similar scenario. I had 6.5 in W. I applied for reevaluation of only W and they increased my W score by 0.5 band. I guess re-evaluation for a module like W has a very good chance of being successful.

Hi,
Could you please share the result? Was it updated to 7 or No change.
I also got L-8, R-8, W-6.5 , S-7. Want to know if it is worth applying for re-evaluation.

Thanks.

If you have the money and can wait you should apply for re-evaluation. I did, and it got changed by 0.5 in writing. However, before applying for re-evaluation I would advise you to check the band score marking criteria. If you have a strong gut feeling that you fall in 7 for writing then go ahead. Good luck. I hope you get a positive reply if you decide to re-evaluate.

It was my first attempt and I am not sure what they expect us to write. I wrote both task1 and task2 for around 180 and 280 words. But the only confusion is that for Task 2 I got a "Is it a good or bad thing" essay. I wrote it as opinion essay as they said "OR" means I have to choose one side and write accordingly.

Mostly I will do both re-eval and take of date of next test. Earliest date is 3rd november. I am not afraid of giving it again but its kind of mental trauma for next 3 months.

Yes, you were supposed to choose a side/opinion in your essay. Well get the evaluation done, if it changes then you are good to go. If not, then no other option than sit for exams again.

People continually post their re-mark results. Some people have gotten 0.5 or even 1 increases despite having the 2 point difference between module scores.

My re-mark did not go so well and I wasn't able to bump my writing from 7 to 7.5. I had to take the test again to finally get the score I wanted.

Received my EOR results email today.

NO CHANGE.

EOR like tossing a coin. The result can be either one. Ask your wife to send a detailed note under the below url, stating that your she was able to do well in all modules except for one and you are sure the results are not correct +. Hopefully you will get the score, wish you all the best.
