And the #IELTS world exploded yesterday. And in this explosion, my third 9 was born. ⭐️

In case you don't know what I am talking about: many people got emails from IELTS yesterday about a technical issue that affected some test results over the last couple of years. Many listening and reading scores were increased, some by 1.5! My own reading score was increased from 8.5 to 9, which lead to an overall 9.

On the one hand, this makes IELTS look unprofessional and untrustworthy. But on the other, this move might actually be laudable: at least they came clean and tried to rectify the injustice. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion in the comments.

Speaking of rectifying the injustice...

Those affected were offered a free resit or a full refund. Which would you take? ❓
