Guest nutsuknow Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Hi tears, I sat my IELTS this year and was lead to believe you needed a minimum score of 6.0 in all areas so scratching my head with this one. you meantioned you needed min 7.0 in all areas, but don't they take into consideration where you scored 9.0 in reading to compensate for your 6.5 in speaking which gives you overall better score across the board. Might be worth asking them the question. Which IELTS test did you sit general or advance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest brads Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 i need 7x4 for my visa i took 3 ielts tests 1st Reading 7.5 Listening 7.0 Writing 6.0 Speaking 6.0 2nd Reading 7.5 Listening 8.0 Writing 6.5 Speaking 6.5 3rd Reading 9.0 Listening 7.0 Writing 7.0 Speaking 6.5 <==damn it! and now i'm thinking of remark but i'm no so sure about the general percentage of success. would it be better to re-sit the test or to apply for a remark? is the possibility low? or many people found the result to be successful? i want some general comments on the remark My sister had to re-sit the test. Being a nurse you have to score I think its 7 in each area, my sister overscored in 3 areas and was half a point short in one, she had to re-sit the test (they don't do an overall average). Please note, to work as a nurse in Oz you have to sit an academic IELTS test to prove your English, my sister missed this and sat the other IELTS test instead!!! So shes in Oz now and having to re-sit the academic one before she can work as a nurse, very frustrating for her because she sat two tests in the UK. Please just make sure the test your sitting is academic. Good luck. :v_SPIN: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Magnetic6 Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Hi tears82 I've read on here that people have requested a remark but i don't know the outcome, if you use the search option they may have posted how they got on? On a positve note your marks are certainly improving but i can imagine it must be very frustrating! Good luck x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest scottndina Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I think that you have a good chance to get a 7 on the re-mark since the speaking section can be subjective, but.... the problem is that it takes a long time for the remark to be considered. So you could write another time $$ and have the result before hearing back on the remark. Stick with it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ufcpride Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 yeah!! well i have some good news.... my first test... Speaking - 9.0 Reading - 6.5 Listening - 9.0 Writing - 7.5 so i failed as i also needed a minimum of 7 in each element. I had a moan at the test center who told me my Reading element was marked down, as although i had the correct answers, my spelling was wrong...:wacko: my second test Speaking - 9.0 Reading - 7.5 Listening - 8.5 Writing - 6.5 so this time i failed again, although i know i took extra care with my spelling. I also read that the Writing element is also marked on creativity, and that its a little easier to get a remark... so i sent off my £60, explaining that i had passed that element in a previous exam, and that the fact that i had writing an RPL for the Australian Computer Society and passed, i was a little miffed at the decision... they told me i'd have to wait 8 weeks and that it would be quicker to pay £100 and resit the test... i think that my own stubbornness got the better of me and i decided to take the risk with the remark... well, on Xmas eve i got my result back, i didn't get the half mark that i needed, my new mark had increased by a whole 1 point!! so i now have 7.5 for writing and passed!! yeah.... So to all those who are worried about remarks, i suggest that if you failed Writing, then send off your £60, as you may get lucky!!:jiggy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
