arjo, thanks for your answer, I appreciate it. Yes, I took it 16 times. Since 2011 I am focusing on the speaking session only, and the maximum I got was 24 CONTACT DETAILS DELETED BY MODERATOR. Please use Test Magic messaging system.

Is there anyone having a hard time to reach 26 on speaking??? I took the test 16 times. On the last time, I got 23 but on the question that I didn't answer I got maximum score. It is sooooo weird.

The scoring takes about 3 weeks. It costs $80. I know how you feel because I also need 26 and I never got it. Once I applied for rescoring when I got 22 and they raised to 23. I have a friend who had it raised from 22 to 26 after re- scoring. Lucky friend. Anyway i think ir is worth it. Give it a shot. I also think the way they score the speaking part is unfair and ridiculous. Their feedback is also awful, too general and vague. I dont know how many times you took the test, i already took many many times and I wish you luck. I know people thst you barely understand them and they got 26. So, anyway hope you get it.
