Lower band than expected

Post by mwannabeatsielts »

I took IELTS on 13th December 2014 and the result has just came out yesterday. And this is confused me how can i get only 5.5 for the overall, the expected is 6. This is what i got L:5.5 R:6 W:5 S:6
I quite sure about my listening, I checked the answer with you guys as soon as I left the test centre, I'm sure I do really well on listening but why? Could you please just tell me, at least I might feel a little better :3

It is maybe because you don't have a good grammar. Instead of saying the result has just came out (actually come out) you could've used I have just got the results and I am not content with my results. Writing and Speaking are all about grammar. :!: you got to be sure about spelling in terms of listening and reading.
