During my recent attempt.. the player stopped working during test run.. another player was brought in.. then 30 or so people complained their headphones are not working.. they spent around 20 minutes changing headsets..
During reading there was a power failure.. we were awarded extra 2 minutes.. similarly we got 6 extra minutes for writing
Same was the case during my test.
Headsets kept malfunctioning. They repeated section-1 of the listening module at least 3 times. Lol.
And to this one of the female candidates got livid (the kind you 'd find in middle school that runs up the teacher during morning assembly saying 'mam, bcche homework copy kr rhe hain ek dusre se' ). She raised havoc, shouting how it was unfair and how the candidates 'd take undue advantage of such. Wasted 3-5 good minutes.
In the end, to her chagrin, the invigilators allowed 5 more minutes as extra time on account of those she wasted. She almost cried.
hi,
I have score of 461, i was missed in last 2 draw, what is the chance for pick up or do I need to increase my score ( i can only increase by 2 point now)
@Seniors need your advice over here:
I am 26 years old (no age issue right now) with ECA as Bachelors and 3+ years of work experience. I have also maxed out IELTS(15/12/2018) (LRWS, 9,8.5,7,7.5) so presently my CRS is 438. My profile is in pool since 20 Feb 2018.
To increase CRS I have also taken admission in Annamalai University (PGDCA), simultaneously I have been actively applying in colleges in Ontario.
Hopefully, in a week or two I'm expecting an admit from Georgian College.
Please suggest which route should I take.
If I wait for Annamalai University I'll get transcripts and all in July-Aug 2020 and then ECA will take another 2-3 months after which my IELTS will expire(Dec 2020) and I'll need to re-appear.
On the other hand, If I successfully get admit from Georgian, classes will begin in Jan 19 and since it is also 1 yr course (with break) I'm planning to complete it by Sep 2020. I guess ECA is also not needed for it so I'll be getting ITA straight away.

How long have you been waiting in the candidate pool?
When do you need an invitation? I'm asking because in my case I would need an ITA before end of July where I'll lose 5 pts (you guessed it, I'm old!) lol
In all seriousness, 461 is where i'm also at and according to seniors in the forum it may be the next one if there's a draw this Wednesday or maybe/hopefully in the next 2-3 draws..

Nah, too tired to explore after 3hrs exam,dear..Hahaha, Just went back home straightaway because we had long drive as well...I'm not very good at long drive unfortunately.
Oh wow. My brother in-law just got married in April. How recent was your cousin's marriage? Hahaha
Yes, only an hour drive from Jalandhar,if no heavy traffic than only 45mins.
I will sit for my CD IELTS exam in Jalandhar this Wednesday. That's the closest CD IELTS centre from Nawanshahr. Thank GOD for that as I hate long drive.
