Hi @tony87. Really thankful that you raised this part of the process. I was actually contemplating of this, but was not sure. But, now I feel I should look into this area. Thanks again !
Also, what is the proportion of increase in scores one can expect if one scores low in TEF ? (like after a month long preparation), any idea ? Thanks !

You need CLB 5, CLB 7 and CLB 9 to gain 1, 3 and 6 points for each of the four sections. CLB 5, CLB 7 and CLB 9 are roughly like IELTS 4.5, 6.0 and 7.5. To be honest, although I've learned French for a while, I haven't taken the TEF so I'm afraid I can't give you more details about TEF preparation. But through my learning experience, sample TEF exams online and other accessment of French level, I'm fairly confident to say after a few months' part-time French learning (no matter you take a French course or teach yourself), you can expect to gain 1 or 3 points from listening and 3 points from reading.

But I seriouly doubt you can get any point after just one month's studies. Normally, a beginner can only expect to achieve A1 level French within a month while your goal is to be at least B1, which is a equivalent to CLB 5.

Going by last few years trend, draw should happen today.

You need at least B1 (an equivalency to CLB 5) to gain points.

Look at the UTC time ... doesn’t look like there will be a draw today

What if there is no draw today...

Then maybe tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Be patient and confident. If the pattern of 2019 is of any indication, then there should be 26 draws for 2020, 2 of which are FST draws and 3 of which in January.
