28th July IELTS GENERAL TEST Discussion

Congratulations on getting your desired score... My question is what do you mean by standard and punch statement?
I always thot to have a great start with complex and impressive statements in my first paragraph. This is what I did in my first attempt and as per my opinion would have got me low score and some structural issues. Then after someone's advice in the group I started rephrasing the Topic with my opinion and keeping it simple.
Also it's good to have the structure with conectivity like To begin with, Firstly - secondly on the other hand, additionally etc etc..
This time I kept last 5 min to proof read and was surprised to see many grammatically error, spelling issues which I cud correct.
You should read through all the model essays from ieltsliz.com as that will Def help..
Narang bhai how do you manage such brilliant scores?
I struggle only in L and R. Any tips on both?
So I guess I shouldn't bother going for a remarking too since I got this
L: 8.5
R: 7.5
W: 6.5
S: 8
Please what do you think? This is my 3rd attempt.
So here is my results
Overall Band:
7.5
Listening:
7.5
Reading:
9.0
Writing:
7.0
Speaking:
7.0
I had my doubts about listening, so can't blame
reading, as usual 9, was easy one.
writing, this is first time for me to receive 7 in writing, so big win for me, but I was expecting 7.5 or above.
speaking 7, fine, but disappointed because same examiner awarded me 8 band in last test
This examiner was an Indian fellow, jolly good person.
more info: I got another test result from my re-evalutation of 24th May
reading : 9 , so didn't bother to recheck it
listening was 8.5, so same
speaking and writing both were 6.5
Writing remained same, but got 7.5 in speaking, that is 1 band jump
The examiner was a foreigner, took my test 2 times, yes the same person, and awarded me 6.5 band both times, despite huge difference in performance. I opted to recheck the second one, which was my best.
so 2 band difference thingy you guys were talking about is a myth ( read above if you don't know what it is)
both test were taken via BC, at different locations.
let's take another test.....

Do I trust IELTS system, its results or worth, NOPE I DON'T
I am just fulfilling a requirement, I need it, so they are simply taking a clear advantage of it,
A death by thousand cuts.....
I will bear it for better future.......
IMO you should go for EOR and also book a new test in case there is no change in score. This is what I did because next available date is in November.
After 7 attempts.. My journey with IELTS has finally come to an end.. Thanks God
L 8
R 8
S 8
W 7
Hope the best for every one
