Ray of Hope - 88th Draw

[Sandeep198511]

there ll be around 6000+ people within the next Wednesday draw who will be having more than 435-438 scores. So, the score can drip down to 441 range at max with 3500 itas this week. & it will take around another 5-6 draws for the scores to come down to this mid 430's range if we see a draw this week.

ya but if draw is on this Wednesday then it will be between 440 438...

442 and above will be pessimistic
441 will be optimistic
440 will be great
439 will be extraordinarily superb

Hi @ishq74

by the way things are moving currently with 3500 itas, when do you guess the 435's might get clear in the near future? the mid 430's seems to be the dark horse score this year, everything seems to be vague since the start of the year.

I said that before, once CRS cutoff score comes down to 430s, not many people will re take IELTS for CLB 9 or 10 to maximize their score. They would rather wait for their turn and save some quids. My score is 443 and I canceled my spouse's IELTS test when I saw march 26th draw at 446! Soon you would see higher ranges are not filling up as much as it is filling up now because we can't have more than 3000 new entrants above 440 within 14 days! Currently many applicants from 420-440 ranges improving their score and entering into that fold which will not be the case soon!

If draw happens this week then it is quite certain that, CRS cutoff would be 438-439 and if happens next week then Cutoff would be 440-441! If they continue biweekly draws regularly and keep issuing 3500 ITAs then by June you should receive an ITA!

[toykatyal]

for this wedneaday or next

i dont expect a next draw this week. So most probably next week

Last draw was 16 day gap and CRS dropped 2 points from 446 to 444, and most of 444 was cleared. Assuming 3500 draw next Wednesday which will be 14 day gap, it seems reasonable to expect 3-4 point drop in CRS to 440-441 depending on number of new applicants entering the pool above 440.

Oinp has also update number of nominations issued. Approx 400 more.. idk when these were actually released and they only updated on 12th, but it is a big number to push the score north

Hi I received ITA on march 11 2018 with score of 445. Now I am preparing for final application(e-APR). I noticed that I have unintentionally putted the wrong dates for bachelor and master degree. I was trying to update it but I am unable to do it. Can I changes the dates in thefinal application and write about the mistake in letter of explanation. Can it be treated as case misinterpretation?. I am really worried please reply seniors if possible thank you

I did the same mistake while filling up the completion date of my master's degree, only for month though. I noticed it only on the day of my ITA, few hours before. So I left it and explained it via LoE. Although my application is still under process, you could do the same if you wish. All the best!

That is a good joke.
There will always be plenty people just a bit below CRS or those that do not have CBL 9 in all skills so they will be redoing the IELTS test.
Your personal choice can be called Penny wise pound foolish. You do not know what will be the exact behaviour of CRS score in the future. You do not even know if there will be some last minute changes (like the additional points for French last year). On the other hand every day whole EE gets bigger with more competition.
So it is better to overkill with your score (to have eg. 450+), than waiting for it to drop (some do not have much other choice if they have already exhausted any quick fixes).
But I think, you can wait and see.
good luck

Thank you for your reply I also have same case I also made a mistake for month. At which stage your application now.

 

[at4446]

why not 25th Apr ?

i really do not think that the points can drop by for by having 2 weeks gap! based on the experience this cannot happen unless way less that what is anticipated people enter the pool
