Contrary to popular perception, its difficult when one is spoilt for choice. To choose a date for taking IELTS is easier than expected given there are seemingly infinite dates available. Questions pop up in your mind make it even tougher.
- When is the correct time?
- How much preparation is enough?
- What should be the target score?
In such cases, the approach should be to look out for constraints & invariables, create them if there aren't any, imagine where you want to be given those and backtrack to arrive at the exam date.
Attempts at finding constraints::- When do you want to start working in Canada? (This is too broad a question to be useful)
- How much time would be required to prepare for the exam? (Forever!!, Again very subjective)
- Is timing the application relevant? (Hmm.. we are getting somewhere)
Looking at previous year's updates on Ontario PNP, the province has been opening up for ICT kind around July. Assuming the same this year, finishing the express entry profile around July is a good gamble. This leaves me 3 months. I don't want to keep the exam waiting whilst I scamper around for getting the documentation complete. A general opinion on the time, it takes for WES to be completed, is around 2 months (worst case. given I studied in a government institution, its safer to assume the worst). This leaves me a month for the exam.
A month or less than that is too close for comfort. May be just more than a month but less than 2 months would be ideal. British Council tells me 12 and 24 of May are available. So, the plan is set. Coming weekend, I would apply for exam on 24th of May.
