You didnt get ITA in earlier draws?

Got a new score last wednesday. Had a lower score before that.

Score?

438 -> 433 -> 473

Can you suggest some good resources to improve on writing.
Thanks!

Honestly, I just read a couple of samples on ieltsonlinetests.com. I noticed that descriptions and personal experiences were encouraged - so that's the route I took. I didn't read anything else neither did I practice for writing. I wrote approx 300 words for the letter and 600 words for the essay.

Quick question guys. In the reference letter the company gave me, they did not mention wether that salary is monthly/yearly/weekly etc.. Since I can easily extract payslips from the system, I was thinking if I could simply attach 2-3 months back payslips with the letter as a way to indicate that the salary was monthly. Would that work?
Thanks!

Attaching 3 months payslips along with the reference letters , is always recommeded! Whether salary is mentioned on the letter or not, yet you're supposed to get the payslips ready with you.

I am not sure bit I read somewhere (or have seen some videos) where they say “You should not write way more words than what is expected”....

Correct me if I am wrong

Ideal strategy is write no more than 270 words and to have a template for each kind of essay in mind. It allows you time to review at the end. Practice 2-3 essays with pencil and on IELTS test paper.

I am waiting at 448 too, since February 18th. Had expectations that it would happen soon but now with the current trend, it seems difficult. Try to increase your score if possible and always keep on hoping that the cut-off score drops. if it continues on decreasing, then the chances are good. However, with the FST draw last week, it might be that the score increases again, which is bad news for us. Noone can say for sure when/if it will drop to 448 but I wish you all the best.

Hi folks i need advice,please offer some wisdom. My points are currently 445,birthday is in Sept. I had started collecting my documents including Police Clearance etc. I was very optimistic when the year started.

Now my medical appointment is up in a few days. Right now I'm confused if i should cancel or go ahead with the appointment. There is a two- three month wait for appointments.
Is this a waste of money? Should i wait until scores really drop. But who knows anything can happen right.

Yes, only the next draw will tell how fatal the FST one was for all of us. Btw, only God knows why CIC had to do the FST draw last week, they could have done it after a regular one as well.

Agreed but what's done is done. Let's hope for increased ITAs or B2B soon. It would be sad for all the people around our range if the score doesn't drop. So close yet so far :/
