The IELTS official suddenly conducted a large-scale spot check, and many candidates were at a loss due to delayed scores. Today, the editor of Hangzhou Dingwen School provides three strategies for everyone, hoping to help the roast ducks who were selected.
Firstly, everyone should know that if you are randomly selected for the IELTS exam, it means that you will not receive your exam results on the day of the test, but will be notified by email that you will only receive your own scores after all the random checks are completed.
The sampling time is not fixed, some only take a few days, but there are also months long ones. If you are in a hurry to get your grades, you can consider applying for the next exam or contacting the official IELTS certification.
In fact, when encountering random checks, you don't need to panic too much, because random checks will only delay the release time of your grades. If you have not engaged in cheating behavior (such as buying answers or finding a gunman to take the exam), relying on your own strength to take the exam, the official IELTS score spot check will not affect all scores.
Moreover, based on the results of previous spot checks, only a very small number of test takers have received emails of cancelled grades after their scores were randomly checked, so there is no need to worry too much!
If you urgently need to give points and the official has given the roast ducks the opportunity to appeal, you can prepare an application letter and provide your audio/learning handwriting/materials according to the requirements to prove that you are the one taking the exam, and the test is valid!
If the release of IELTS scores is delayed due to spot checks, the IELTS official will provide expedited service for sending 5 free transcripts to candidates within one month of the issuance of the transcripts. You can apply to the IELTS official for expedited delivery of your transcript to buy yourself some valuable time.
There is another question that everyone is very concerned about: how will the official judge whether there are any problems with the test paper?
In the listening and reading section of the IELTS exam, each question has an expected value to determine right or wrong. For example, during an exam, if a candidate has an expectation of 80% for a question, which means that 80% of people will do it right, and then the candidate is wrong, it's okay. If the next expectation is 20% and the candidate is right, then they start to become suspicious. Because there are 80 objective questions in reading and listening, it is enough to eliminate errors caused by nervousness or biased sections in the exam.
Finally, Hangzhou Dingwen School hopes that all examiners can pass the exam smoothly, and even if they encounter random checks, they can immediately receive good results without affecting the application progress!
