My writing did not change. Still 6.5.
Fortunately, I requested the speaking part to be remarked as well though I already have 7 on my original result. The score changed from 7 to 7.5.
So basically, my results for my 2nd take is still useless however I got my PHP 7k back due to the change in score for the speaking part
So I believe I saw this advice here where even if you only need to have a certain part remarked (speaking or writing), include the other one as it is allowed to have more than one part remarked.
So there you go, there may be a silver lining in every experience

Feel ko nga dapat mataas writing ko after I took the exam. Sa tingin niyo ba na di dadayain ng IDP kung mag paparescore ako?
