    I just called IDP for the status nun request ko for remarking. Hindi daw nila ini-e-mail yun results. I also asked if pede kunin thru phone, hindi din daw sila nagbibigay ng results thru phone. Need daw talaga pick up kase hard copy daw yun result. So punta na lang ako dun bukas, whew. Pero I read before, may email na nisesend, saka yun post above mine, was able to get the result thru phone. Sign kaya yun sken na no change sa score? Kaya gusto ko din malaman para hindi na ko punta dun if no change lang din naman pala, sayang lang oras ma late pa ko sa office. hehehehe

    hello sad to say hindi siya successful sayang d rin ako umabot for august occupation list para sa ACT so maghihintay ako september for WA and again kung wala intay lang nang intay...: (

    para saken ang take ko dito kahit confident ka pero hindi mo talaga mameet yung criteria malabo e, kahit feeling mo tama hindi worth it ang advise ko siguro para sa iba iretake yung exam kasi mas malaki possibilities na makapasa

    Hi everyone! anyone who had a recent re-marking experience? got my results and sadly, one test scored below 7 so I'm thinking if I will risk having it re-marked. Read negative feedback din na parang sinasadya na hindi baguhin ang scores, para pagkakitaan ang visa applicants

    2014 Aug: After 10 business days, Advisory Service POSITIVE for 223111
    2014 Aug: Paid 230 sgd for IELTS Remarking
    2014 Oct: Result of IELTS Remarking - Remain unchanged. (Writing: 6.5)
    2014 Nov: Submitted VETASSESS Skills Assessment
    2014 Dec: IELTS Retake (L: 9, R: 8.5, W: 6.5, S: 7)

    kung writing and/or speaking and .5 lang ang difference try mo lang. I got 6.5 sa writing and nagparemark ako naging 7 naman but depends if you are willing to take chance kasi you need to pay for the remarking, pag nag-increase soli bayad pag hindi nag-increase pts mo eh goodbye bayad...

    same lang ng comment ko taas kapatid...my friend ako sa writing 6.5 naging 7 and ung isa sa speaking naman eh 6.5 naging 7 din. I guess depende kung gano ka ka-confident sa sinulat mo o sa mga sagot mo sa speaking...not sure lang kasi 2 ung 6.5 mo.

    this i agree pero i think yung para sa dalawang 6.5 it is safe to assume na malabo, pero yung 6.5 na isa lang ang problem well ako nagtake ako chances pero hindi naging success, yung difference nang pricing sa remarking at retaking is almost the same mas mahaba pa maghintay sa remarking rather than retaking which is 2 weeks so suggestion lang in the end the decision is yours to make, retake the exam may possibility na mas tumaas pa scores mo at magaral at the same time may matutunang bagong skill

    or

    less hassle sa pag remark pero mas stressful ang paghihintay at yung burden nang paranoia andun, kasi tulad ko lagi ako nagdedwell sa unknown in the end personality wise nagiging repetitive ako sa prayers ko to the point na dinadrive ka nito 1/4 insane haha anyway ill retake the exam, my take is do not keep your eyes off the prize sugod lang mga sir at mam.

    Thanks po sa advice, @jeorems and @thegreatiam15. I will think about it. Hindi ko pa naman nasisimulan ang assessment stage. Ang iniisip ko kasi, baka naman maibigay ang 0.5 ko at therefore maisoli ang almost 300 sgd na re-marking fee :p hirap talaga. I wasn't expecting a low grade in writing. Oh well..

    parehas tayo re sa 6.5 sa writing, di ko rin expected na makakakuha ako ng 6.5 so naging complacent at di gano nag review then narealize ko lang nung makita ko ung score na merong pattern na hinahanap sa letter pati ata indention ng paragraph (sabi ng friend ko na nag take ng ielts before). I have this habit na maglagay ng indention sa first line ng every paragraph which my friend inform me sa ielts tips course eh try to avoid daw...and try to write ung required na number of words daw.

    God bless sa mga plans mo...

    @emily_strange goodluck po sa inyo, well ako din e, hindi rin ako masyado nagexpect kasi akala ko swabe na yung exam ko tapos pagbabasehan nila mga previous records kung ok or hinde pero sad to say i didn't make it sa remarking, so probably ill take the exam pero ill do better this time.

    i guess nasa sa akin din kung papaano iincrease grades ko, i did it with my reading points, before hindi siya gumagalaw after 2 takes 6.0 lang after 3rd take nag discipline ako sa reading tapos kaunting writing 3rd take ko naging 8.0 yung reading tapos 6.5 writing

    not bad for a half baked writing, though malungkot una naiwanan ako nang barko sa ACT sunod money wise, medyo undeserving sa part ko kasi hard earned yun. so this time sana hindi na sumablay

    pero i do hope you will get the nod for your remarking and i would be happy for you, atleast most of us here have the same mind set. "not to give up" heheh

    I haven't lost everything except my mind...

    @jeorems is it?

    so meaning for the writing (sorry sa OT ah andito na din e i guess related)

    when do you indent at when do you not?

    nangyari kasi saken block letters at writing ko binago ko legible na siya walang bura pero hindi ko magets saan ako sumablay probably sa mga useless na additional words para kumapal yung writing ko

    for the essay part i think halfway andun na ako e, siguro nga tama ka mali din ako sa ibang sistema dahil may ugali ako nagiindent every single paragraph i make, pero ano ba yung proper at ano yung improper practice?

    I haven't lost everything except my mind...
