Express Entry points and IELTS

[Scottpark77]

I am preparing for Express Entry for next year around February with LMIA.

What I am trying to do is to get high IELTS marks so that I can push the EE points,

and IELTS that I took without any preparation was (LRSW order) 7.5 8.5 6 7.0 and the calculator said that I have 457 points.

when I checked previous round of invitations, last invitation was sent to candidates with minimum of 456 points.

I know it is subject to change but I just want your opinion. is 456 points usually high enough to get ITA?

The cut off for rounds of invitations since October last year have constantly stayed abovr the 440-445 mark. This said, 456 is a very good score. you should receive an ITA in a couple of rounds.
