will ielts re-mark decrease our result?

I need band 7 overall n band 7 in all 4 parts.my previous result is overall 7,l8,r8,w6.5,s6....but i didnt consider re-mark tat time n straight away re-test on yesterday.I had done my 2nd attempt of IELTS and i am tired to re-sit,re-sit again bcaz i have a lot of commitment in hands and A-level is not easy,believe me.

I m understood that i can either re-mark one or more(2,3 or all 4parts) with the same fee.Money is not an issue here bcaz i really phobia of re-sitting as i have a lot of commitments left untouched.I m understood that money will be refunded(as i say money is not an issue to me) if the band increase.

My worries are:
1. Is it possible that my re-mark result is of lower band than the band i previously got in my test report?Will they decrease my band?

2. Which is more likely(i know the most probability is unchanged): increase or decrease,especially in writing or speaking?

3. I assume re-mark of listening n reading will NOT likely to change mark.Is it NOT likely or just one in a million or it may change as well?
i think i'll be the first to say i have no idea what you're talking about.
I can only hazard a guess at what you're asking. If you're asking whether your final mark can decrease after a remark, the answer is yes, and your money wouldn't be refunded if this is the case.

Didn't mean to hijack this thread but I have a problem and appreciate your kind help.
I got my IELTS results last week L 7, R 7.5, W 6.5, S 8 . I have asked for a remark, they told me that it could take up to 8 weeks. My question is that if I booked for IELTS next month and let's assume that i couldn't get the all 7 band, would the Remark results still well be valid even after a faild IELTS attempt?

Thanking you all in advance
