Please advise. I have 390 points in EE, only 10 pts short for possible invitation by OOPNP. How do you think I can get 10 more points to be eligible? I am thinking to retake IELTS although it will be very hard for me. Currently I have 7.5 overall. And if I get, say 8 overall, will my EE score increase to at least 400? And is it worth it? If I get the earliest available date for IELTS, I will get the results only during last week of July, do you think the quota for nominations will be reached by then?
OOPNP eligibility - short on points (390 only)

You can check in the Comprehensive ranking system and see how many points an overall score of 8 in the IELTS exam will add to your score. I believe that would be CLB 10 or more if you get all 8s in the exam. Here is the link:

But if you already have an overall score of 7.5 at 390, I doubt an overall score of 8 will add 10 more pts to your score.

I faced the same problem with the score of 384. If you manage to reach 8.0 for all IELTS sections then you'll boost your overall score to +50 at least. Another problem is that reaching 8.0 for all sections is not so easy as it seems at first sight.
