Well my current score of speaking is 5.5 in my 2nd attempt and in my first attempt i got 7. I need just 6 in speaking , means i am just short of 0.5 band.
Kindly comment

I don't think it will be worth it to get a rescore. It cost more, about $200 and they will send the tape to London, so unless you are in London, just take the test again. It may take up to 2 months for a rescore, while you can get your result in 2 to 3 weeks for a new test.

Since you have the time and if you want to spend the money, go for it. Last thing to think about is that according to the IELTS people (second hand source, someone told me) that less than 1% gets a higher score after a rescore.

Speak slowly and clearly, make sure you answer the question and in part1 and 3 speak at least 30 seconds and for part 2, speak 1 min to 1min 30 seconds. Practice speaking out loud for 20 minutes everyday. Good luck!
