i think its like this, for example my ielts results are as follows, speaking 7.5, reading 7.5, listening 7 and writing 6. under the old rules only speaking and listening were considered and my points were speaking 7.5 3 points, listening 7 2 points. under the new rules, for speaking i get 2 points for listening i get 1 points, now the reading and writing that hitherto had no points, now have points if u score anything from 4.5 , so for those i get 1 point each under the new rules. so for me i still retained my 5 points for english language.
