It seems 15th draw came out with a score 456 Sad

I have a curent IELTS score of L7.5 R7.5 W7 S6 . I am planning to regive the exam to up my score of 448.
I had few questions :
1> what if I score less in my new IELTS exam? Will they consider the old one ? or the latest one?
2> Also , if one gives multiple IELTS , do they consider best of Learning or Writing or Speaking or Listening OR they consider one IELTS scoresheet
??

Please help

Latest score. It is very explicit. If your score goes down and you don't declare it, I think they might consider it misrepresentation. Retaking it can definitely be risky, but also very rewarding if you can get CLB 9s across all categories (you can get bonus points if I remember correctly).

Not true. Where does it say that?

1) You can choose the IELTS test to include as long as it is still valid

2) No, you cannot combine scores from multiple tests. You must choose one report and submit the scores only from the one you choose.

I have CLB Score 9....what bonus points are you talking about?

Its misrepresentation only if the your score drops below the minimum cutoff score for that particular draw in which you got ITA and you don't declare. Still, it is a wise idea to tell CIC that your score has dropped BUT your score is still above the minimum cutoff (if that's the case).
