Newbie question: 462 competitive enough for 57th draw?

Context: I'm a newbie here. Just got my CRS score of 462 (IELTS overall score = 8.5; L=8, W=8.5, R=8.5, S=9). At this point, the only plausible way to increase (up to a maximum of 3 points) my CRS score would be to take the IELTS again and get 8.5 above in the listening section as well.
Question: Is 462 competitive enough or are those 3 extra points worth fighting for?

Thanks!

It is more than enough. I am sure you will get in the next draw.

Well, we are in a very unpredictable situation here we don't know when the next draw will be and at what cut off...you should be safe if it happens in next 7 days

462 should be safe. In an attempt to get 8.5 in listening, you may end up messing the other scores. I think you will make it in the next draw. All we have to do is be patient which is really difficult considering I hope to get my ITA in the next draw
