IMO, the next draw is the most important since it seems like the dreaded 450 barrier would finally be broken in the next draw. If that actually happens, then everyone sitting below 450 can hope for good times ahead.

Hopefully it should considering no refugees and no pre express entry applications this time around. Keep your fingers crossed. Btw when will the next draw be? Wednesday or feb 8?

Be hopeful and start collecting your document..!! Next draw is yours at 450, as the chances for score to drop below 450 is quite high.

@Ascent. Thank you for the encouragement and warm heart. Everyone with a good moral deserves a chance, refugees and non-refugees.

Welcome, we r in RAY of Hope thread, so have to keep the everyone's and mine hope alive. :)
 
Even though I am at 448, but my gut feeling is saying that the draw would be 450 (in all possibilities) or max 449...

No no no Nooooo, Score has to come down. Be positive don,t give much attention to your gut feelings, only think positive to propagate a positive energy.

Even i they draw only 2500 candidates the score will breach 450 range, I am very very hopeful on this.

I know gut feeling is usually true, I my self had this feeling when I was starting this thread. :) but don,t want to believe it.

But who knows this is actually our time bcz the draws were never his big and I actually want to believe the video last year surfacing on the forum and below is the link.

Definitely try it once more i will say, because as the score goes down there are more and more people on each point, even getting 3 points will put you ahead of at least 1500 people.

I couldn't agree more. Every point counts so you must aim to get the highest possible IELTS scores. So if you can afford it go for it.

All the best

Happy for those who got during this around.
Sad for me who is sitting at 450.
Have already registered for another IELTS (the fourth one) in the hope of maximizing the IELTS score. :'( :'(
Don't give up, I am waiting for results of my 3rd sitting. I believe there is a light at the end of the tunnel.

All the best

Glad to know that I am not alone in the struggle with the hope of raising even one point by going through this torture. My spouse thinks I am getting paranoid and stupid by sitting the IELTS so many times without even raising any point. :'( :'(

Exactly the same situation with me. I got my latest result and missed CLB 9 because of 0.5 less score in writing. If I had scored CLB9, I would have got ITA by now. Now, will go for revaluation and meanwhile prepare rigorously for IELTS.

This guy said score is likely to drop to below 400. but this is before the additional points for international students. I believe that the new magic number is around 420-430. Those above 430 can really hope!
