I knew like a 5% of what I know now. Negligible.

I did this to study:
I started Duolingo and realized I knew almost NOTHING, then moved to Edito B2 when I finished the Duolingo french. Then started watching tv (with french audio and captions) and reading (a short novel). And that was it, CLB7 in 3 skills.

It is very doable, but you must be stubborn and not be intimidated because of a test. I paid my test when I only had less than 3 months of studying. That forced me to study harder.
Seriously dude (you can't be a dudette with a name like Ivan :D) hats off to you!

Add a new approach to rank candidates with the same Comprehensive Ranking System score:

The Express Entry system will continue to rank candidates by their CRS score, but where a CRS tie exists, all tied candidates will then be ranked based on the date and time they submitted their Express Entry profile.

Note: All changes are in place since June 6, 2017. Some foreign nationals might not see their Comprehensive Ranking System score change for several days.
All scores will be updated before the next round of invitations to apply where the Express Entry system detects that points are changed
.
This is important. This means if the cutoff is 410, not everybody sitting on 410 will recieve an ita. They will be ranked based on how long they were in the pool until the desired ita number is reached.

Finally some good news for "old-timers" sitting in the pool for months!

It also means those of us who recreated our profiles in the hope of an OINP will lose out to those who didn't bother.

Anyway, in the end these changes will benefit all applicants in some way or the other.

There can't be a draw today because they'll be spending the next few days updating people's scores with the new score points. They have also stated that all relevant scores will be updated before the next draw. I believe the earliest draw date will be next week Wednesday, 14th June.

Extract from CIC website regarding this issue.

there could be 2 mpre weeks delay as it says on the CIC website. read below the exact text from CIC.

What changes have recently been made to Express Entry?
Note: If we invited you to apply before June 6 2017, these changes will not affect you.

The CRS scores of all profiles in the pool will be updated automatically before the next invitation round after the updates. This could take up to two weeks.

We have made improvements to the Express Entry system.

Bad news: next draw will most likely be on the 21st, instead of the 14th, raising crs cutoff.

Good news: back to back draws to bring the crs cutoff down again.

What??? Really??? I'm in the pool for 8 months, and if someone with same CRS is longer than me has advantage or vice versa? Don't know what to think about that...

Will a CRS score of 416 stand a chance in the next draw or the one after that? Or you think the cutoff would be higher?

Guys.. very interesting... Is it easy to score clb 7 equiv. In TEF french exam?

If it is easy or at least not hard.. then scores will rise hard in coming draws! What do u think?
If you know something in French, at least at intermediate level, you can get CLB 6 and 7 but you need practice without doubt. But if you don't know French at all, you may need a minimum of 6 months or more (depending on your ability and especially on your time), then you can get CLB7 at TEF. Anyway, if you need some advice you may ask me, don't be shy - dear friend.
