  1. HI
    I had appeared for the IELTS and below is my score
    L: 8.5
    R: 8.0
    W: 6.5
    S: 7.0

    I need a 7 in each band and am short of 0.5 in Writing Section. I have applied for remarking of Writing Section only. What do you think are the chances of increasing the score?

    Also to be on safer side, I have started preparation for a second attempt. Could you please suggest online material or books for IELTS preparation. Where can I get Writing and Speaking topics for practise?

  2. Hi Rajesh,

    Good luck both for the re-marking and the next test. You can find sample topics and questions on this site.

    As far as books are concerned, I heartily recommend the Adams and Austen Press books you can see advertised further up on this page.
