How to score 7 on writting?!

Hi people,

I took the test three times and I got 6.5 on writing for the two first times and I am feeling like getting the same for the third time again.

I have no difficulties with the L/W/S testes, I got really high scores on them (L8.5/R7.5/S8), but writing is being my karma. Actually, I met many people in the same situation (the last one was trying it for the 6th time!).

I tried Ben Worthington`s jump from 6.5 to 7 offer. I hard copied all Ryan`s video essays. I have practised writing task 2 essays in 35 minutes and sending them to ielts-blog.com correcting service, but I never score a damned 7!

Any help? I am kinda desperate and I don`t know what to do to score 7 on writting.

Thanks,
Alessandro

Try to avoid repeating the question vocabulary and focus on a high percentage of complex vocabulary - I use this tool: http://www.textfixer.com/tools/online-word-counter.php. However, also there are possible factors like clear handwriting and enough words, as well as correct grammar etc..
