My friend had applied for rechecking and his W scores increased from 6.5 yo 7. I had R9 L9 S7.5 and W6.5, which I felt was less but on re-checking it did not increase. FYI - I've terrible hand writing.
If you are confident, do apply for re checking as scores do increase.
After having read many comments on re-evaluation, I think there is a correlation between Speaking & writing module.
People who have 8 band in Speaking have a better chance at scoring 7 in writing.
Cos people who are able to verbally interpret their ideas excellently, can also do the same in writing which is all about coherence and cohesion.
Offcourse, factors such as bad hand-writing can always spoil your chances.
So, if one get less than 8 band in Speaking, then the possibility of scoring min. 7 band in Writing are bleak.
Note: There exist no structured data to analyse. I have speculated on the basis comments shared by other fellows.
