But I am worried that, if I get ITA for 438 and my score changes, I'll get a different TRF than I mentioned in my profile. It may become misrepresentation. Thoughts ?
My CRS score jumped from 417 to 475 with the 0.5 increase in my writing score. So I knew that I wouldn't get selected for sure with the previous score, which is why I went ahead with my EOR.
From what I've observed this year, the CRS score jumps only when they hold the draw after 3 weeks (or after a week). It seems to have stabilized around 440-442 this year. Unless the frequency of the draw increases, it doesn't seem like it will drop as far as 438, and you have to keep in mind that there are many individuals around your score, too, so the EE profile created date will come into play for the tie-break. These are just my thoughts, though, anything could happen. I took my first IELTS on 30th June, submitted an EOR on 14th July, and then ended up also signing up for another IELTS (for 2nd August). However, I got my EOR before my second IELTS, and ended up wasting money there, and also time because I went ahead and took the second IELTS for no reason. But I'm happy things worked out anyway, and I got my ITA the next round.
If I were you I'd submit an EOR, and possibly think of taking another IELTS (if you're in a hurry to migrate).
