Hi...I am sitting at 438 for the past 4 months and losing hopes now....can anyone suggest if I should retake the IELTS exam...although retaking it will increase my points to 441...
CRS- 438
IELTS - L-8.5,R-8.5, S-7.5,W-7.0--overall 8.0
Thanks
I can understand your situation : waiting and watching ... just 4-6 points away
IELTS looks tempting , but what if you donot score better , that means wastage of money ( I donot want to discourage you)
What if you donot take IELTS and you have an upcoming birthday ( although a happy moment , but for CRS it's gonna cause loss of point) -- to cover loss of CRS points due to age , IELTS is one option to compensate for that loss!
So, time accordingly and take IELTS( increase score) at least to compensate loss due to age ...
And yes, money is not everything , lost opportunity ( by not taking IELTS ) is one big loss!
I wish we see score in 430's , but living on such false hopes may cost
