That’s very unfair to lose scores just because of minor spelling mistakes or a hyphen
This is a language test and spelling is part of it.

Nice nd very helpful initiative indeed. Please make an exhaustive list of words commonly misspelled by the IELTS exam takers.
Finally after lot of waiting,, I got my IELTS for UKVI result on 24th July (for the test I took on 25th June). So it took 4 weeks.
I got my result by sms and was told that I should personally collect my Test Report Form(TRF) from British Council office. The result as per sms was
Reading 8.5
Listening 8.5
Speaking 8
Writing 6
Overall 8
But when I collected my original TRF from BC office, I was pleasantly surprised to see that my Writing was higher than what was told to me by sms. So my actual result as per the TRF is
Reading 8.5
Listening 8.5
Speaking 8
Writing 6.5
Overall 8
Has anyone else faced such a situation?
wow. i wanna say one thing not related to your question…. you have a great result. How excellent you are!
Realy amazing result.

AT times we take things for granted but when you come with exercises like these they serve as an eye-opener and a reminder. More grease to your elbows.
Ok madam
It’s great the job you are doing. thanks for being inspirational. You are my source of kick-offs.
Hello Liz,

I have come across some mistakes in transcripts – I’d like to put my grain of sand and send them to you (if this is useful to you)
