Was your money refunded to you after remark, i think i was underscored in writing, i expected it as my highest score, but i got 6.0, how comes.

I have already filled a form for refund. Waiting for it.
Remark is done online

Thanks I've seen it. But from the instructions, I read it would take between 2 to 27days of waiting before result may come out. Many schools application deadlines I'm applying to ends on Dec 15. I'm worried that if I request for remark, I may miss the deadlines.
Secondly, can one use the old scores for application and then send the new official scores to schools later? If after remark and the scores are increased.

Same place where you saw the result online. Click on EOR enquiry on result. It costs 27k

Listening 7.5, Reading 8.0, Writing 7.0, Speaking 7.5. Overall: 7.5

Nexusz:

What's your score?

oluwaafeyikemi:
I just got my result
Listening 8.5
Reading 8.5
Writing 6.5
Speaking 8.5
Pls I need a remark for my writing. How can I request for it uote author=benergy post=118955074]I sent them a mail this afternoon, and got my result mailed to me about 2hours later.

Everyone is busy complaining on how they marked the writing section.

Yours clearly shows that this is a fraud, how would you get 8.5 in all and then get 6.5 in writing , this isn't possible at all, and that is suppose to be our strongest section as graduates.

I have filled the form for refund although I am yet to get it

And also, how long did it take you, looks like we are a lot on this platform that anticipate applying for remarking of the writing section

I also requested for EOR in writing and score went up. Requested on the 25th November and got a response on the 4th December.

Hello house, aside international port, what other means of ID can I use to write the IELTS exam please?

Is the improved version of NIN with barcode accepted?

Your comment here encouraged me to request a remark in my writing today. Hopefully it will come in with an increase in score and in due time as well. I need my writing to increase more than 6.0, as I honestly feel I did way better.

Will one have to wait for the remarked results to be out, before requesting for refund?

many universities have thrown away GRE, as it dosent really examines a student thinking ability, English proficiency is what is important. for graduate and teaching assistanship, but if you have so much money you could give it a try.

but it is nothing more than an IQ test meant to place you

The GRE will give you an edge for schools in USA. Many actually place high importance in them. But english test scores are also emphasised, especially when graduate assistantships are needed by the students.

make sure you have IELTS, thats all for the English Language requirement.

that is all, whether scholarship or anything, thats what matters, your proficiency, and even though there are applications or schools that do not receive IELTS, still write it. you wont ever regret and it could put you higher than others who dont have.

Thank you so much for your in-depth analysis, I have no clue on how to go about it? Are you suggesting I should write IELTS only or add one more exam to it?

Difference and similarities between IELTS and TOEFL exam with some key point to be consider before you decide which one you should , take your time and read carefully and for more information between the two you can or DM us through WhatsApp on : 09057485470
IELTS is the abbreviation of International English Language Testing System. On the hand, TOEFL is the abbreviation of Test of English as a Foreign Language.

IELTS and TOEFL both are English tests that are required either for immigration purposes or for qualifying for ission in colleges or universities. Both the exams have their own importance and sets of rules. For academic reasons, the institutions mention the particular test required by them so one doesn’t have to go through the difficult process of choosing between the two. However, sometimes it’s not specified and the applicant is free to select either of the two; this is where they feel completely lost in picking the best option as per their capabilities and interests.
For deciding which test suits us the best, we need to understand the similarities and differences between the both.

Points of similarities between IELTS and TOEFL
Both the tests are based on reading, speaking, listening and writing skills and they’re evaluated on the basis of standard scores in all the countries.
Both cost around $150-$250.
Both are used to evaluate the minimum level of English skills required to be a part of the institution or a resident of the country.
Points of differences between IELTS and TOEFL:
Difference in Speaking
The major difference in the speaking session of both the tests is that in the TOEFL test; one appears before a computer where entire speaking part takes place through an automated software. On the other hand, in IELTS, one talks to a real person instead of talking to a machine. The latter is found feasible by those who find it weird talking to a computer whereas some people are shy and they think talking to a machine is a better option to avoid interacting with a stranger so they prefer TOEFL. However, when one wants to clarify a certain point which they fail to understand then they won’t be able to ask a computer of course hence they are required to be extra attentive in this test.

Difference in Writing
The biggest difference between the both with respect to the writing part is that in IELTS one has to write everything down on paper whereas in TOEFL all assignments are typed using a keyboard. So it completely varies from person to person. Some people are not really good typists so they prefer writing instead and others find their handwriting really horrible hence they don’t want to scare out the checkers and rather want to type the answers.

Difference in Listening
The duration of listening session is different for both IELTS and TOEFL. TOEFL is twice longer in time i.e. the listening session lasts for 60 minutes whereas IELTS is only 30 minutes long.

Then there’s a difference in speakers’ accents. In the IELTS test, there can be variety of accents including USA, Australia, Canada, Wales, Ireland etc. TOEFL listening would encom only standard American accent.

Difference in Reading
Again the reading session in TOEFL is much lengthier and involves multiple choice questions only that require a lot of reading which can be tiring and prone to loss of concentration.

Most importantly one needs to see what is most convenient for them keeping in view the vicinity of test centers. All in all, as per popular preference, IELTS is regarded relatively easier and more engaging than TOEFL probably because it takes shorter time and involves more human interaction.

Some Key Facts about IELTS and TOFEL:
TOEFL test is istered and developed by the US-based “Educational Testing Service” (ETS).
TOEFL exam’s each section is scored on a scale of 0 to 30, and the whole exam is scored on a scale of 0 to 120.

TOEFL scores will be valid for 2 years after the istration date of the test.
IELTS is istered in over 140 countries, and in more than 1000 locations.
Every year you can get up to 48 IELTS test dates.
IELTS score is reported on a 9 band scale.

I didn't get my CBT result after 12 days until I booked an appointment and went to the BC office. I waited a few hours and my hard copy was in my hands.

My portal still showed "awaiting results" a week later. (:

Wow. Thanks for this info. Will try that also. Only that no BC office in Benin City. Did they say what the cause was though? It’s very unprofessional of them.

I wrote my ielts academic yesterday in portharcort. The reading and listening test was good for me. Although I completed my writing task, there was not enough time for me to revise my work. I'm scared there are mistakes I would have corrected. I just need a band of at least 7 in all sections. Is there any one with similar experience? What was the outcome? Pls share
