每次雅思成绩出来后,Easy姐会被大量的烤鸭询问复议的问题。每每回答这个问题都压力很大,因为“复议”涉及的方面很多,不全面了解清楚情况的回答都是耍流氓。思来想去,姐梳理出一套“复议”的方法论,各位烤鸭可对照此法,大胆决断。
概念篇:“复议”为何?
所谓雅思复议,实质就是跟雅思官方上诉,打脸给自己低分的某人。试想一下牛逼的自己,得了一个屌丝的成绩,这结果能忍吗?绝对忍不了!
如果要打这场“官司”(复议只有一次机会),就得先评估一下复议的后果。但说白了,其实也只有2种结果——赢和输。姐这里不是说废话,而是要详(dao)解(bi)一下啦:
输:白白交了1000软妹币,结果然并卵。但请注意啦,复议失败无非维持原判,不会降低分数的。
赢:皆大欢喜,一般会提高个0.5分以上,姐了解到还有考生出现过2.5分分差的情况。交1000软妹币(1科或者4科都是1000)感觉特别值。
注意啦,这里特别强调一下,如果参与复议的话,还是有“赌”的意味,运气成分还是很大的。只不过根据往昔数据显示,胜负几率是6.7:3.3。
实践操盘篇:9成胜率法
往昔赔率只是大趋势,但如果出现以下2大特征,胜率会提高到91%,建议果断复议。
1、单科出现明显弱势(1分以上的差距)
听说读写相互独立,但却是四位一体,你的英语水平是一定的,共同源于你的词汇语法以及语感,四科理论上是不会出现巨大落差的。
2、久经沙场的烤鸭感觉发挥正常但分数不增反降
久经沙场的烤鸭,基本面其实是清晰的,经过一段时间的强化,除去临场发挥和题材不熟悉的原因,出现分数降低十分异常,有复议价值。
具体的复议流程:
• 收到网上在线提交的复议申请、相关费用及成绩单原件
• 准备考生申请复议项目的原始考试材料(包括答题纸及口试录音)
• 将复议材料提交给复议考官重判。复议考官在全球范围内严格甄选,均由剑桥大学考试委员会统一考核认证。考生如申请多项成绩复议,各个部分将提交给不同复议考官重判以确保评分严谨公正
• 重判结束后,书面通知考生复议结果以上全部复议流程需要6周时间完成。
答疑篇:复议信的那点事儿
复议信当然是可以写也可以不写的。但是!姐建议还是要写的,最好还是用手写的(字丑的亲,还是别勉强,打印去吧)。因为既然有赌的成分,写复议信可以累积强大的气势以及攒足人品……
最后附上复议信模板:(细节请自行更改哈)
Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is***(Candidate No.: ****). I took part in the IELTS test (Academic Training) on 27th April, 2013 for the purpose of pursuing the Master Degree of Economics in Hong Kong. Bearing the puzzlement of the result, I wish to reassess my test score on writing.
In order to see where I was in terms of English proficiency, I took my first IELTS test on 23rd February without any preparation. Then after two months hard work, I took my second IELTS test. The scores I got this time listening (8.5), reading (8) and speaking (6.5) saw various increases compared with previous ones. However, to my surprise, the writing section was still 6, which I think I have also done a good job and would be a higher score.
For the past period, I have spent almost 5 hours a day to practice both the task 1 and task 2 on writing section. Moreover, I was greatly benefited from a native-English teacher on writing structure and how to improve my writing skill. After two months study, he told me that my writing skill had improved a lot. However, I still got 6 in the writing part and this really made me puzzled and frustrated.
Thanks for my excellent academic background; I have fortunately obtained an offer from the University of Hong Kong, which condition was to reach at least 6.5 on all four components before July. If I cannot get a satisfactory score, I will lose this opportunity to further my education at my dream school. And taking another exam is extremely inconvenient for me, so I request to remark my writing section.
Any help from you will be truly appreciated.
Best regards
