Hi! Just got my IELTS Academic results and they are as follows R:9 L:9 S:8 W:7. Thinking of going in for a re-evaluation on W, as i feel i should have gotten a higher band. But the question is , can an EOR give you a lower band than what you had originally ?
Regards

wonderful score. Congratulation.

Would you mind sharing some tips on IELTS Academic?

I think they won't increase your band by 1 in writing even if you go for reevaluation. Hopefully, they will lower your original score.

Just studied for 1 week for the IELTS and this was my 1st attempt. Was out partying the night before, to be honest. Sorry to go OT, but you can finish Cambridge Ielts 8 and do use the Practice CD they give. You must practice reading, which is arguably the toughest part and do keep your eye on the clock while practicing,try to complete it within an hour. Focus on the T/f/ng or y/n/ng, which make up 25% of the reading section. Practice listening from a number of sources online(ielts-exam.net). Above all,on the D-day, maintain your composure and do not panic under any circumstance. Just chillax. :D

thx for your reply tribal.

IELTS exam is easy for people who have good english but it is interesting to know that you were partying a night before and scored well. Great job done!!!

Thanks for the tips. I maintain it is difficult to conquer ielts without practice.

best wishes for your higher studies.

Are you a native speaker? How long have you been learning English?

No, I am not a native speaker. I have given the GMAT earlier and got a 740. The RC solving skills I acquired for the GMAT, in turn helped for the writing section in the IELTS.
