TEF and TCF. Personally, I find TEF easier. On the other hand, TCF reading could be easier. I know their writing and speaking are harder.
Ray of Hope - 113th Draw
- Thread starter NikSharma01
- Start date
Ielts test result is not effective when it is under review. You can't use it for any purposes (e.g. schools, immigration, etc..) until you receive the re evaluation. Meaning if you receive an ITA while the result is still under review, you cant submit your application.
I'm loving the looks of that!
Do you guys observe a pattern here?
2 weeks - 1 week - 3 weeks - 2 weeks - 1 week - 3 weeks - 2 weeks - __ week
There is a high probability of a draw next week if this trend continues.
What do you think?
Awesome observation! Look at you being a ray of hope for us 440s! 
I wonder how far back that pattern goes...
To the prediction experts in the room, I'm on 445. When am I likely to get ITA?
On March 23 it wll be more than a month that IELTS has not been holding in Nigeria due to elections. Wouldn't that have effects on CRS? Considering the population from that end

Based on this there is a posibility for a draw next week. 3 weeks, 2 weeks and then they go for week time. I wish this happens to score to go down. Fingers crossed!

Hey Guys,
Tried some very simple maths based on the data of Feb 2019.
Feb 14 candidates with crs score more than 450 = 3365
Feb 14 candidates with crs score between 441-450 = 1276
Feb 28 candidates with score more than 450 = 2580
Feb 28 candidates with score between 441-450 = 2050
ITAs issued 3350 of crs score more than 450 on 20th feb
Now, the number of candidates entered, new as well as with improved crs score, in between 441-450 = 2050 in four weeks or 513/week or 1025/2weeks.
The number of candidates entered, new as well as with improved crs score, more than 450 = 3350+2580= 5930 in four weeks or 1483/week or 2965/2weeks.
As the draw on 20 feb was after 3 weeks, there would be 4448 candidates with the crs score of more than 450 on that date. They issued 3350 ITAs on that date means around 1100 candidates were remaining in the pool with the crs score of more than 450. Therefore, it should take 2 draws to accommodate all the candidates with crs score more than 450 with 3350 ITAs.
If a draw happens on 20th March with 3350 ITAs, the cut-off should be around 451 with a condition that the frequency of candidates remains constant.
Don't know whether it makes sense or not as I considered only one month trend.

Based on my personal experience, I would go for TCF Canada. Coz in TCF Canada you must answer approximately 64% correct to get clb7. TEF requires 74% correct answers for clb7. Also, for listening and reading 39 questions each in tcf whereas for tef there are 50 reading and 60 listening questions.

make sence but at some point they will conduct back to back draws since inorder to meet the target another 20 draws needed. So in a month or 2 there will b 3 draws like January which will bring the score down to lower 440s or less
It's long road ahead.. I m in my hometown to request universities to post the transcripts, just yesterday they have posted same.. its tentatively 2 months journey now.. I'm ready with IELTS results though..

Meanwhile keep on ringing WES for the same, sometimes they come into action if candidate is contacting them frequently.
