As per advice by Ms. Silverdragon, I'd like to start this thread and ask for help to those IELTS takers who took and passed their Writing test with scores of 7.5 and above. I'm in great distress right now. I took my IELTS and passed everything, except Writing. (6.5 - WRITING!!!:angryfire)
I really don't know how I failed this. I always though I'm good in expressing myself through writing. Anyway, I hope someone here who passed his/her writing (score of 7.5 & up) can give me some lectures or tips how to score well on this test. I only have 31 days left before my next IELTS and i really hope i wont fail this time. im AU-bound so i need 7.
Also, I sought Scotts English's service. It's informative and helpful but, ufortunately, not enough to pass my writing. Its case to case basis anyway, might help you, but not me (things like that)
Please, please, please I need your help guys. Thanks.
you have asked for help in public, but when someone is correcting your mistakes you are annoyed. Grammar counts 25%, so I'm surprised that you don't care.
And if your english would be sufficient I would think you should have passed the first time.

Well, that's because SOMEONE was giving incorrect corrections. I'd be pretty annoyed about that too.
For example, it should be "if your English WERE sufficient". "Visas expire" is also the only correct option to use in the earlier example as well.
The most grating grammar errors I see on this site are those made by native English speakers, but it's also really obnoxious to nitpick grammar incorrectly.

any tips on writing test 1? the one wherein you have to describe the graph, the chart? I am having a hard time on this part because I always do part 2 first during the review and when I get to part 1 I have less than 20 minutes to do it.
