Scores I’ll drop to 460 or even low , prior to FST draw , u I’ll see
do you fall under FST category?Got ITA today with score 470, file created 5th Jan. So excited and nervsous, I gotta quit my job in Montreal and leave for Ontario. Not ready yet...
Bofore today, my plan B was to prepare ONIP materials since I received letter of interest 15th Jan, almost due...
Do you fall under FST category? as the draw says only open to FST candidatesJust lucky to be at 470 and gotten an ITA. Don't give up guys, wishing the best of luck.
This forum has been helpful and quite supportive as well.
(And for those with low IELTS score, consider applying for a remark on writing...that is what saved me after taking the exam 5 times).
you just made my daybeing a statistics professor .. I tried to model the distribution of candidates scores in the pool and it consistently follows exponential distribution with lambda= 0.078~0.079.. this is considering only the candidates above 450 as below 450 distribution is not considered.
with this you can calculate the number of people above you with the formula:
"number of people above a given CRS = (total number of people above 450)* exp^(-lambda*(CRS-450))"
eg: for current situation(crs of 470)
number of people above 470 = (536+21116)* exp^(-0.07785*(470-450)) = 4503.59 .....
for last draw:
number of people above 472 = (439+19861)* exp^(-0.0795*(472-450)) = 3531
n so on....
the value of the lambda varies between 0.0076 to 0.080 from draw to draw.
what it also says that means is,
number of people above me(crs = 468) are = (536+21116)* exp^(-0.0785*(468-450))=~ 5270~5300
out of this, 4500 are above 470 who got invited today. that means there are only 750~800 candidates left in front of me today..
So I hope that less than 3700 new candidates join the pool above 468 in the next 2 weeks... so I could see a bright Ray of Hope...
I tried to do your math but I failed miserably. lolbeing a statistics professor ..
