My results take 14 days to come out. In this awesome city we don't have computers.My current score is 473 but I know I have a better chance at 476 so I'm thinking of waiting till July to see what the cutoffs are like, if I feel they won't dip soon, I'll give a re-exam where I know there is a 100% chance I'll get CLB 10, provided their damn servers don't crash again. Whatever I need to do, needs to be done before my 31st birthday on 15th October because I'll lose more points for age so hoping we see some FSW draws by July or August! If you're not in a time-sensitive situation, I'd suggest you wait to see what the draws are like and based on that make a decision whether you want to take IELTS again or not. It only takes 5 days to get the results anyway.
Regardless, I've already lost 11K for nothing. I should have remained myself and stayed calm with what I'd received.
I don't mean to sound arrogant but I've seen what essays of people who score 7.5/8 in ielts look like. I was kind of sure I was better than this.
I don't feel okay anymore paying so much as a cent to the IELTS institutes.
I started french (in duolingo) nearly 1 and a half year before I started preparing for all these canada immigration related things.
Maybe this time around I can focus that endeavour around TEF exam and see where that gets me.
I suck at french but I'll maybe start with something that actually helps this time.
Also next year I'll be 30 so will lose points.
