Hi Guys,

Just wanted to share my Writing module revaluation success story -

I sat for BC IELTS on 15-Mar-14 and got L/R/S - 8.5 and W - 7. (First Attempt)

I applied for reval in Writing module and got a result of 8.5 in Writing today and an overall score of 8.5 bands.

Going by my personal experience, IELTS reval works as opposed to many negative stories that I've read on the Internet. Yes of course it depends on how confident you are in your writing skills and your luck.

Good luck to all of you!

cheers,
Guru

That's great news Guru. Even I have given my writing for revaluation. Last time got L-8.5, R-8.5, W-6, S-8. Hope I also get lucky like you. Results awaited in second week of July 2014.

Thanks Ryan!

I must acknowledge that I started my preparation studying your online video tutorials which imparted various test taking strategies for all the 4 modules especially Writing and Speaking. I owe my high score to both you and Simon. Thank you!

thanks,
Guru

Hi Guru
My revaluation results are out. My writing score did increase but by only 0.5, so now it's at 6.5. Lucky that I got my cheque back, but bad news I didn't get 7. Need to try again.

What are pament terms and conditions for one or all modules?

Hi Team,

Test 2-Feb,2014 7.5 7 7 6.5
Test 3-Sept,2014 7.5 7.5 6.5 7

I have filled for EOR for writing for Test 3.Are there any chances of improvement.
Kindly guide me.
Also I have filled for new test from IDP(no dates available with BC) for Nov,2014.Being working mother I hardly get time to study and worried and frustrated about my result.Kindly guide me as exam is approaching near(22nd Nov,2014).

Here is an article about handwriting I recently wrote on my free site: http://www.onlineenglishteacher.org/stu ... andwriting.

IELTS Handwriting

One thing from my experience that many IELTS students do not prepare for is the handwriting aspect of the IELTS. Needless to say, if the examiner cannot clearly read what is written, then it is perhaps expecting a bit much to always hope that they will get that an "a" is actually a "c" and an "h" is in fact a "b" etc..

Therefore, try to use the following approach: every letter should clearly have only one option. In addition, if you are deleting a letter/word etc., then make a clear line through it and write above it - do not overwrite the letter to change it, as it might not be clear enough for the examiner what is the letter.

In terms of practice, even if you writing is reasonably clear for all letters, then still practise writing regularly by hand, to make sure that you are fresh for the exam in terms of writing speed and clarity.

I applied for reval in Writing module and got a result of 8.5 in Writing today and an overall score of 8.5 bands.

That is really a huge increase: 1.5+ for the writing.

Hi Team,

Please reply are there chances for increase in writing marks after reval.

Thanks

I don't have so much experience for that, however it seems sometimes possible:

How is your handwriting?

http://www.onlineenglishteacher.org/stu ... andwriting

Also, how about your grammar and spelling?

I have very good hand writing.Being working ,I have to write emails everyday so very conscious about spelling mistakes.Apart from that,used vocabs,examples and created 4 paragraphs in task 2.Also do rechecking as I have 10 mins left .God knows what IELTS wants

How is your grammar?

That is also OK.I cant rate it.

ndhal wrote:That is also OK.I cant rate it.

Perhaps you are failing because of your grammar? "OK" = 6-6.5 etc. is maybe different to "good" = 7(+) etc.?

Are there any chance to get score increased in reval.
I have one week left for my another exam.How will I prepare myself.Please guide me.This time I dont want to get less than 7.
Thanks for your guidance and support.

Maybe you need need your grammar checked, if you are not sure if it is correct or not - there is a free service for audio/writing correction on this site, although am not sure if it is done at a native level (although perhaps sometimes/often is) - also a private native-level, experienced tutor is another option.

Can anybody please let me know are there any chances in score change after revaluation for writing.Apart ,from that my exam on 22nd Nov,2014..shall I just go through the Ryan's video tutorial in you tube or do I have to practice task 1and task 2 after writing.

I got my results through idp last week.
S-6.5
L-8.5
W-5.5
R-7
I applied for revalaution on 24th july. Expecting an increase of 0.5 but confused though i wrote 230 words in task 2 rather than 250.
