Hi all,
Dont know if I should write this here or not but just wanted to share.
This was my 2nd attempt in Idp ielts. took exam on 10thMay in India. WAsnt happy with my result. Got my score increasedby.0.5 in speaking. now my score is overall 7 with 7.5 in L and 7 in other 3. Im a doctor.I needed this score for registration in UK. But since 18th June they have increased the criteria to overall 7.5. The time I had taken the test it was 7 in each which I actually achieved but due to their wrong correction and late re evaluation result I could not book on time.now I have to resit the test with increased requirement of 7.5. Its so frustrating.
This time I have booked British council on 20 th Sept instead of idp .taking exam in UK since I stay here now. Hope they r fair in correction

Try harder to get your target score! Best of luck.
