Any IELTS Remarking success stories?

On my third attempt I maxed all IELTS sections except Writing. --> L - 8.5, R- 8, S - 7.5, W - 7 (Interestingly In my previous attempts I scored 8 in writing)
Initially, I Entered pool in Dec 2019 with score of 467 and then score lowered to 461 due to Age in June 2020.

Finally had to create a new EE profile as old one expired (Sigh.. never thought I had to wait for 1 year) and Now with new IELTS my updated score is 467 again. But if I could get my writing score increase by 0.5, my new score will be 470.

Additional 3 points are everything at this point. It's matter of getting an invitation next draw versus never getting an invite just like what happened last year.
I am planning to go for remarking to test my luck to increase the score from 7 to 7.5. Wondering what the success rate would be. No energy or time to retake the exam. I am so done with this process :(

My speaking score was increase from 6.5 to 7.5 giving me a CLB OF 9!
And luckily the result came in just a week. ( 5 working days)
All this happened in USA. India takes a lot of time for sure.

I scored a 7 in W as well. Sent it in for a remark and the W score increased to 7.5, bringing my CRS to 470. I also got picked on the Nov 25th draw. If I hadn't gone ahead with the remark I'd still be waiting in the pool at 467. Go for it.

perfect! Thank you everyone. I will request a remarking. @Scalphunter are you based in the US? How many days did it take? And how much did it cost? Did u get your money back as the score changed?

there are no exam slots until feb. So, remarking is my only option at this point

Yup, I'm currently in Wisconsin and had to fly out to Oregon in July to give my IELTS. It took them around 3 weeks to get back to me. I think it cost me $120 and I did get a refund.

We uploaded as a first page with respective category.
Like, I didnt get my PCC on time due to COVID, as no police verifications were possible which happens in India. so i uploaded the supporting document like the receipt that i did try to get it done on time, but due to covid, centers were closed. So first page was LOE followed by supporting documents.
Later when I got my PCC I uploaded it through a webform.

Oh but what if you want to explain other things, not related to the main documents uploads? Like visa refusal for example and such?

I was refused a Visa to Hong Kong in 2013. I only explained briefly in the text box provided when you select "Yes" for the question.
It is also noteworthy that my GCMS notes contained this short explanatory text of mine. Probably the reviewer picked this out and included as a remark for next OICs.

Cuz seems like there is really no specific place for a LOE. When I saw the optional documents section I thought that it’s for the consultants uploading info about their clients. Well...

I would also suggest, according to your AOR month, join that group. That wilk have applicants with same or near AOR. Like search JUNE AOR etc.
