Hello All,

I entered the exam twice targeting CLB9 (L8, RWS7). Got 6.5 in the speaking part twice! (even though I feel I did better in my second exam than my performance in the first, the score was exactly the same!)

My questions are:

Remarking:
Do you think it worth the money and time to remark my exam? It costs half the cost of the exam and it takes two months to get remarked in the UK. Does anyone have previous experience with remarking speaking? (My motive is that I feel I should have scored more with respect to what I did in my first trial)

Assessment: Do you think it is beneficial to have a speaking assessment in the British council? Does it really add something or yet another source of listening to the same tips found on the Internet?

Advice: Does anybody have tips or advice on how to score better? How to practice? How to assess myself against their criteria?

I am looking for real-experience situations and tips. Thanks a lot.
