EOR given for writing, but received it with no change. Every single time she has received 0.5 less either in writing or speaking. Just dont understand what are these guys up to. I dont earn so good that I can afford such expensive exam. Its very difficult and hard to believe that these guys are just making money.
Sorry to hear of your experience @aj0101 I can imagine it must be frustrating to have the overall band pulled down just for want of a measly 0.5 in one section. Keep the faith though - if your wife has been getting 7 in one turn or another for Writing or Speaking in alternate exams, she has the caliber to get the desired score in the IELTS. It is now just a question of luck and continued practice in all sections so she is ready to face another exam!
Hi @Ilya Sav , Happy to hear of your success in the re-mark exercise, and sorry to learn that you will be required to re-sit the exam for want of only 0.5 in your Writing turn
A fellow forum member advised I read a set of books to improve my Writing, and I found them really useful to understand how to approach Task 1 and Task 2 in the Writing section. They can be downloaded from https://1drv.ms/f/s!AqU8WIDMsNFUaxFa4D62FROPse0. The Task 2 book especially has a wealth of writing topics, model essays and suggestions on how your Writing can become more academic, how you can express your opinions in a more neutral manner, and how you can impress the examiner to score a higher band.
Best of luck! Keep practising and I'm sure you'll ace your next attempt

Oh, it's so nice of you. Thanks for support and suggestion. I'll check out you link for sure!
It's been my second attempt where I get 6.5 on writing section.
By the way isn't it a bit suspicious to receive a revaluation in just 5 days while some others on this forum have been waiting for months? While living in Russia I gotta be ready to expect everything
So far I just got an email from the local centre confirming that EOR processed, and a link to the local site where I checked new scores.
Apart from a new certificate, are there any other confirming documents the local IELTS centre must provide?

Happy to help! And I hope the reading material enables you to score the desired band
I received a letter from BC London for my EoR (as an attachment in the mail by the local centre) and a revised TRF certificate to support it.
I was not provided a link to check the scores. However, that was not an issue as the EoR letter, signed by BC London, confirmed the upward revision from 6.5 to 7.
That was it. And my EoR was processed in 3 weeks, which also seemed quite an exceptional turnaround by BC standards
I got my revaluation results today. There has not been a change in my Writing band.
There was not any notification from BC. i just got a msg from Blue Dart out of the blue saying "Delivery of your British Council shipment will be attempted by Blue Dart today" and after 2 hours i got my TRF.

Mine is much worst case. Yesterday I received the EOR. The cover letter stated my details but inside it was someone else's TRF. After calling up customer care and banging head for hrs with them, today early morning i received my results that too without any changes in the scores.
The results were disappointing. No change in the speaking score. Really wonder if they actually did the EOR or returned back the results as is. British Council is just being into fetching hard earned money from the candidates and just playing with their future.

Hi @sowmyasudan, I applied for my EoR through the BC Mauritius centre on the same date as you did, except that I took the IELTS on the 10th of February. As such, I can only tell you that the BC revaluation process varies in length from 3 weeks (as in my case) to even upwards of 16 weeks (based on experiences I have gleaned off this thread). Mine was a positive experience and I received the 0.5 increase I was hopeful for, just like you are for your Writing score. I’d recommend you keep the faith, as a 0.5 increase in score is eminently possible, but apply for a re-test in parallel, to avoid wasting time in the eventuality that things do not go your way in the EoR. All the best and do share the outcome of the re-mark
@Nishika22 : Thanks for sharing your positive experience. I will register for another IELTS test for the month of April as I see mixed reviews about the revaluation. I will update once I have an update on my EOR. Hoping for the best
I did exam on 10th FEB and I got my results L6.5 ,R 7.0 W.5.5 S 6 ,
I was disappointed about my writing score , so I applied for EOR on 18/03/2018 and within one week I received my results and it has been change increased the Writing by 0.5
