Hi guys,
Want to share with you this piece of information about whether our EOR had been really dispatched to IDP Aussie or kept in the local test center.
I had a chance to talk with one IDP staff during my multiple-ielts-attempts period and we got close enough to ask her about the above question.
She said that for Computer-based, the remark would be done by IDP Australia because when you submitted the test on the computer, it was directly transferred electronically to IDP Australia and always stayed there in their system. So when you apply for EOR, easier for IDP Australia to retrieve your test file than other local or regional test centers (even though i dont negate the possibility that other test centers still can access to IDP Australia data base using password and do the remark)
For paper-based, your original test files were couriered to a regional test center for marking and may not be IDP in Australia, depending on the cost and ease to deliver stacks of manual test paper. Hence, when u apply for EOR, high chance that the regional test center will do the remarking but highly likely you will get another examiner to re-mark. Just hope the re-mark examiner is not the same one that marks your paper in the first place![/QUO
