Missing 0.5marks for one unit in IELTS

Ruby1219

阿仔剛得到results, overall 有8 但 writing 只得6.5, 但係佢想考嘅英國Uni 要求overall and every unit 都有7 or above, 想問佢係咪一定要考過？

阿仔響該Uni 的website 又見到以下一段，唔知道係咪可以exempt? (因為佢自少讀香港嘅國際學校，中四開始響英國讀boarding school)

Exemptions from this requirement will be considered for applicants who have been educated full-time in the medium of the English language throughout the two most recent years before the 15 October application deadline, and who remain in full-time education conducted in the English language until the end of the school year in their home country.

Thank you!

If he's got the exemption, of course no need to retake.

Good! Congrats!
My son 目標為本 and decided not to retake!

Thank you!

My girl's school says they will liaise with the university in case exemption is not granted.  我怕夜長夢多，宜家攪掂咗唔使煩。

Oxford's guidelines doesn't mention "English as first language", ut just says "through the medium of English Language" so technically it can be argued but we all know it's impossible to be exempted.

如果在香港讀IS也不可exempt吧？

跟返牛記條款，佢寫話只要係 home country 用英語為教授語言嘅學校讀兩年就得，所以如果要爭論，理論上行得通，甚至乎英中畢業嘅學生都可以 (唔得嘅話咪即係歧視)。不過好多都唔理，考咗 IELTS 就算。同埋唔係間間大學都會有呢個 exemption。

我覺得 Science 同 Law 一樣難攞 exemption，因為我見好多大學可以降低 Law IELTS 要求，但係 Science 就一定企硬 7.0 in all bands。

Oxbridge 十月中截止，時間有D緊，可能要 查詢 exemption and retake 兩手準備

Ielts 成績唔洗十月中時報㗎，只要下年final A level results 時同其他成績一齊meet 到CO/english requirements. 佢講明如果報名時無ielts 成績，佢會加埋落CO 度。
我覺得因為阿仔係報science 科，應該writing 6.5 唔會影響佢好大？佢同學想報law 應該難啲攞exemption.

thanks and agree 如果exempt 唔到最好retake, 阿仔已經send email to Oxford general admission 同 想報嘅department 度問，如果唔得，咁就等一月中真係咁好彩有oxford conditional offee sin 再響英國考，應該仲有時間。as mentioned, 佢嘅成績meet 到哂其他大學要求，包括另一dream choice Imperial College London, 要考過嘅唯一原因係Oxford ,而Oxford 的offer 真係超級難。。。到時可大機會無offer,真係未必需要retake.
而家問定exemption 都係諗住問題無壞咋。
