Andyvrs Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Hey, currently going through my 189PR skilled visa application. I sat my IELTS on 03/12/16. To get the 20 points I need for my visa application I had to get an 8 on all subjects. I sat the test having no time to study due to work commitments, but my results were, Listening-9 Reading-8.5 Writing-7.5 and Speaking-8. I was gutted I missed out on the writing by half a mark, so I appealed at a cost of £60. The wait was nerve wracking but I got my results today and my final award is.. Listening-9 Reading-8.5 Writing-8.5 and Speaking-8 and as a bonus I get the £60 back! So if anyone misses out on the writing or speaking with half a mark APPEAL it! To say I'm happy is an understatement!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 That's brilliant, well done! Great news about the £60 also, we all know too well how a move slurps up all the cash so money back is brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Gregan Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 If it's only .5 of a mark, I always say it's worth it. Any more than that, then forget it in most cases. Well done! Regards, Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pradeep Maheshwari Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Been through a similar situation. I needed 7 band in each module. Appeared for the exam without any prep and the result was: L = 8, R = 8.5, W = 7, S = 6.5. I thought in case I get stuck, it would be in the writing part but to my surprise, I got stuck in the speaking part. However I was confident that my speaking went well to score at least a 7. So I requested a recheck for the speaking part. Waited for 8 full weeks and the result made my day. My speaking was increased to 7 and hey, got the money back as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
