i need help. my crs score stands at 412, i want to improve it plus i want to know whether the cut off will come down to this or not?
is it worth the shot?
No one can say for sure, but having said that the current trend doesn't seem to suggest that scores will come down below the 440-450 mark.
My brother's been in queue with 411 points for, i think,2 years (his profile expired 6 months ago after which he didn't bother again)
I'd say you need about 40 points more.
You didn't give points break down but in general to increase points:
1. IELTS Score - increasing it may substantially increases your points in Section C (100 points total) and also for the IELTS score itself
2. Learn French(?)
3. Complete a masters degree if you don't have one.
I think you should check how your IELTS score is affecting the points in section C (which gives a total of 100 points which can substantially come down because of IELTS score).
If let's say you scored 50/100 in section C because of low IELTS score, a good score will boost your points up by 50, plus whatever more you get for the IELTS score itself!
