Anyone who is reading through this thread may feel like there is a higher chance of score increase on EOR. Mostly people share their success stories here, if EOR is not a success they may not share. The reality is that the chance of score increase is not even 1%.
I am not discouraging anyone, but don't get your hopes high on EOR. If you want score increase from 6.5 to 7 in speaking or writing, there is a slight chance. But if you want 1 band increase or you want increase from 7 to 7.5, your chances are next to nothing.
You can always go for EOR if you have time and money on your side, no matter the score.
Just saying because of my 2 failed EORs (Needed .5 increase for speaking from 7 to 7.5 in both cases). Currently waiting for 3rd EOR, with an increase of .5 needed in writing from 7 to 7.5. Current score L/R/W/S - 9/9/7/7.5
I need CLB10 to reach 441, stuck at 438 now. Will lose points for age in 2019.
My 4th test result was supposed to be released yesterday (9th Nov). But it is delayed due to some quality control issue by British Council India, don't know when I will get it
