Finally, I managed to get the required score.

Speaking: 8 (My previous attempts were better at 8.5 but not this time)
Writing: 7.5 (Again, used to be at 8..0 but not this time)
Listening: 9 ( Was 8.5 previously and I am happy with the 9.0 that I got this time)
Reading: 9 ( went from 6.5 to 9 this time!!)

Sure. It will help. It doesn't matter which country you take the test from. Question paper would be same across the globe on a particular test date.

I dont know some are saying this is their routine they perform random audit to ensure there is no malpractice...
Others are saying paper was leaked!!!

Dont really know!
paper leaked is typical Internet fear mongering. If the paper was leaked, then why hold the results of some and release the rest?
Let's just sit back, relax, and keep our fingers crossed as far as the marks are concerned.

I am a bit scared... I saw these unpredictable results... some even got 5.5 in writing... I mean a person who doesnt know english can get 5.5.. but people with such a good english getting these scores... and with listening people wrote same answers as we discussed in forum but got 6.5...
Trying to be optimistic now.....
All the Best!!!!
Writing marks are are a huge hit-miss in IELTS. How you perform on the day is what matters and let's just say content is a highly subjective matter (I write for a living).

I have written the IELTS previously (academic module; back in 2009) and I had scored 8+ in all except writing. I am not sure if it's the thing, but all of us generally write stuff these days on the computer. Everything is taken care of by the editor in terms of language and formatting. Not to mention, it's sort of easier to read through and fix what's broken.

I attempted the GMAT as well, and I had a 6 on 6 in AWA, which is far trickier than the IELTS writing section.

unless you have your friend's paper in front of you, you cannot say for sure that's the case. The missus writes alright, but her spellings and sentence structuring is horrendous. Helped a friend as well, same problem. Great ideas, poor execution.

Had a word with IDP here. They informed that IELTS is doing routine investigations on results and will be providing an update by 24th.
