Personally, I wouldn't redo it. As you said, IELTS isn't cheap. 3 points isn't worth redoing the exam over. I think you should sit tight at 461. If you don't receive ITA in Dec then January for sure. Once the score drops to 464, it should take one or two draws to drop to 461. Early next year, the PNPs should not be having the effect its 's having currently. And you never know, you could redo it and get 9 in reading and suddenly your WS drop to 7. You would be in the same predicament then.I kindly need advice my ielts (on the first and only try) are listening 9, reading 7, writing 7.5, speaking 8. Overall 8. my crs is 461. The reading let me down but if i am to redo to get the highest score (8.0-9.0) like in the other modules, my score can rise by 3 points to 464. Of course getting the 3 points isn't guaranteed and ielts isn't exactly cheap....help! What would you do? i am not confident to redo them plus the next registration dates are for early decemeber....
