Should I go for IELTS remark if all that I need is a .5 band in writing module?
However. examiners rarely disagree by more than 0.5 in your writing or speaking score. This means that if you missed your required band score in either writing or speaking by just 0.5 (e.g. you got 6.5 in writing but you need a 7.0) then a re-mark might be a good idea.
Is revaluation possible in IELTS?
If you do not agree with your IELTS result, you may request that your test is re-marked. The deadline for initiating an EoR is 6 weeks after the date of your test. The re-marking process can take between 2 to 21 days, depending on several factors including the number of sections requested for re-mark.
Is IELTS reading revaluation worth?
You might be lucky enough to get an upgrade. In that case also in very rare case remarking will change. I suggest to retake ielts again. You can go for re-evaluation if you are very much confident about your answers and time for revaluation process is 8 to 10 weeks.
Do I need an IELTS remark for a band 7?
Remember, you need 27 points to get a Band 7. This means that you only need an increase of 0.5 to get a Band 7. So in this example, an IELTS remark is more likely to be beneficial, because you only need an increase of 0.5 in either writing or speaking (remember, listening and reading will almost certainly not change).
Should I Go For revaluation for IELTS reading and listening?
Go for revaluation only If you are highly confidant that you took utmost care while answering the questions and confident enough that you would get an upgrade to your score. Remember IELTS reading and listening answer sheets are evaluated by machines and then later by examiners and they have answer keys for comparing and marking your answers.
Can I re-mark my original IELTS scores?
Your new examiner will not be told your original IELTS scores. You can request a re-mark of the whole test, or any part of it (Listening, Reading, Writing or Speaking). The re-mark fee is the same. The more parts you wish to have re-marked, the longer the re-marking process will take.
Does IDP actually screen the revaluation requests?
My feeling is that IDP (and BC) actually screen the revaluation requests, may be only 30\% of the requests received actually go for the revaluation process. This first (hypothetical) cut is decided by scores in the other areas. In my case, both speaking and listening were 8.5, so writing score of 6.5 seems somewhat inconsistent.
