I am disappointed with listening this time.
Last time i got 7.5 but i messed up after the map thing

Yes, same here, I constantly got 8 band in listening in my three recent IELTS exams, but this time I also think that I might get 7.5 because of the difficulty level. Having said that, reading was quite easy this time and I was able to complete and recheck my answers well in time. So, I think they make at least one module super difficult so that the candidates fail to achieve the required score, and thereby, keeping IELTS business healthy.

Though am nobody to suggest....its my sincere suggestion not to give up. Looks like ielts is the only barrier standing btw a majority of the people and their PR.
I read of someone who took the test for a staggering 13 times

I am beginning my ECA process tomorrow

It would be better to start ECA first and then appear for IELTS, as ECA will further take approx 2 months time, for Canada..

My ECA is done already, only road-block is IELTS. Last time appeared on 29th June, hyd, got 8.5 L, R and 7 in speaking with 6.5 in writing..
Hope to go Par this time..

Yeah. Thats correct.
But anywys just seeing if i can make the most out of these 2 months until the ECA arrives. Will try to improve my ielts score as much as I can

Alas !! Just a 0.5 in writing last time would have sealed the deal for you.
Anyways great to see that you are optimistic about the 27th exam. I am unable to gather courage to stay postive because of the listening

No I m not planning to write from Hyderabad, All depends upon the results on 9th August

Practice is the only key..I use this trick, first check if any direction is given in the MAP, then i check the starting point, i dont read the questions at all and just keep jotting ALL the places as discussed in the map while listening and then at the time while noting it in the answer sheet i match it with questions..
i have used this trick only, but in the exam i missed the starting point only as my concentration was on previous question of section , i have answer but not sure if it is correct
