Congratulations to those who made it!! Not a bad score for first draw of the year. I expected it to be above 450+.

Is it because there weren't as many applications as expected?

 

[SithLord]

Very surprising to see this score after a 3 week gap!!! Nevertheless, it is great to start the year with a low score

So true. What's even more interesting is that if the draw did take place on 2nd Jan, the score would have definitely been less than 440 because they gave breakdown of candidates on 3rd and only 3071 candidates above 440 on 3rd Jan. That kept this score down as well (kind of). I'm sure we'll be back to early 440s within two draws or so.

Congratulations to those who made it today. This cut-off for 3 week gap is good sign for 2019. Hopefully it will soon be around 440.

Tricky one, give it 24hrs and wait and see. Think draw was actually conducted on 9th and just took ages to update on website

Oh yes, think we will have score similar to last year again A lot of 441s and 442s So the future draws look promising
