Paraphrasing..using
i doubt that they are doing it deliberately.. i lost clb 9 twice just fr .5 .. still i keep hope.. will attempt again in August.
I read somewhere that if you choose "Immigration to Canada or whatever place" when you register for your test the examiners will give you a grade low enough in one of the components in order to make you take the test again.
I´m not sure how true this is, but I´m starting to think that this might be far from a myth. The first time I took the test I got 8 in Writing, Reading and Speaking. I took the test again one month later as my Listening score wasn´t good enough, knowing that I was doing well in all of the other components and that I only had to worry about improving my Listening mark.
The second time I took the test my Listening score reached the level I wanted, Reading and Speaking remained high as I anticipated, but they unexpectedly gave me a 6.5 in Writing when just the previous month they gave me an 8. This crashed my chances of getting full points for language. I have applied for a remark as I´m sure I did better in Writing this time than when I got an 8, but I´ll need to wait for around 6 to 8 weeks for a resolution.
I also read an user who after several failed attempts one day decided to choose "Personal Reasons" as the reason to take the test and got the results she needed.
So, this kind of things makes me think.
