Hey I just took the IELTS General today here in Vancouver DT.

About four years ago I took Academic and got 7. I started preparing for the General about 3 weeks before the test. Mainly to get in the testing mood (very important).

I was really sleepy in the morning so probably missed 2-3 questions in listening. Reading is easier than the Academic which I am very happy about lol. Writing wasn't too difficult either but time management is the key. I found myself a bit rushed towards the end and made some silly mistakes that could have been avoided. The old gentleman who interviewed me for speaking was a bit of a poker face. I wasn't sure if he likes me or not. But in the end he did tell me "keep up with the good work". So I hope this is a good thing?!!!

Best of luck to everyone!

If you honestly feel that you did a better job in your writing test than 6.5, then you should request a re-evaluation. There are no consequences of this; in fact, you may stand to gain if your writing score increases by as little as 0.5 points. Either way, you need CLB 9 or more to get a high CRS score for Canada, and your current results are not sufficient.

IELTS will only reassess the section which you asked for (i.e. writing test) and they won't look at your other scores; So you are not at any risk of losing points in other sections. And if your writing score increases they will refund you of the fees you paid for the reassessment. I know this because I also requested a re-evaluation of my scores, I was very sure that my writing was better than 6.5 and indeed my scores went up. And I got my money back within 5days of the new result ;D

Anyways, this is just my own experience, whatever you decide is up to you. Good luck
