I am doing it for the 1 st time and the only thing that I don't like is you can't use similar context meaning. For example, on a practice website, one of the listening questions economical and low costs were used in the recording . I typed in more economical as my answer to the question, but got it wrong and the correct answer was low costs.
My knowledge is cheap , low costs etc.. are synonyms for economical. My question is, IELTS examiners go by a computer answer sheet or by knowledge? Anyone has any guidance?

Congrats to those who got ITA ! Let the hope continue.......... Good Luck!!
you and @ashokacca both are wrong.
I hope you and @sonapradnya are wrong.
I see that we had a 3 week gap draw only on 14th-mar-18 which fits to the 1st week of 3rd month analogy presented by you. Other than this we had no draws which were after a 3 week gap. June 13th was the 1st week of 3rd month (second quarter) and it was after a 2 week gap (there was a PNP and FSTP draw on 30th may which cannot be considered as a gap week). the only other time when we had draws more than 2 weeks were 11th-apr (2 week 2 days) and 11th july (2 week 2 days). So think positive and be positive. Positive vibes definitely help turn things into favorable outcomes.
There are 7 draws only left for this year(Assuming 2 per month with November having a regular draw and a PNP/FSTC draw).
Assuming the number of ITAs left are 89000(3k more than what was issued last year) - 54700 = 34,300
Out of these 34,300 approx count of ITAs, 700 or 800 will be allocated for the PNP/FSTC draw. So roughly we have 33,500 left. Spanning this count of 33,500 across 7 federal draws gives us 4780 ITAs per draw to meet their annual target for this year.
As IRCC is constant with the number of ITAs to 3750, going by the same number for the rest of all 7 draws -- They will not meet their target. Thus there will be back to back draws if draw size is not increasing to meet their targets. We might see a back to back draw even next week ... who knows but it will happen for sure ...

IRCC will definitely give a chance for people with low CRS scores atleast once a year ... If that doesn't happen, many will lose hope
This is a pessimistic view but I will take it. My spouse is writing her IELTS and should have her result next week. The only challenge is her WES. She is masters degree holder, but WES has a way of delaying the process. WES sent confirmation email back to school but school is yet to confirm. Tough!
I hope you are right but we really do not know what their plans are. To the positive note, it seems they are becoming more consistent by drawing more people per drawing than they did in the begging of the year. It shows that they improved their processing capacity and might be able to handle even larger/ more frequent drawings. Only time will tell but I hope there will be a drawing on Sept 5th.
437. LolAny prediction for the next draw?
I wish though. ..
they have a list of words acceptable for the answer. all the words are from the recording.IELTS General Training
