Low CARS Sankey (it’s possible!)
This forum has been incredibly helpful for me in the past few years as I prepared my applications. Since many people have reached out to me asking how my cycle went with a pretty low CARS and uneven total score, I would like to make a Sankey detailing my cycle. FWIW, English was not my native language, but I don’t know whether/how much they took it into consideration for my score. As the new cycle is starting, in case anyone is hesitating whether to apply with a low CARS and an uneven score distribution, my recommendation is if the rest of your app is fine and you did not significantly underperform on your exam day compared to practice FLs, then I don’t think it’s worth waiting and retaking since it is difficult to improve CARS quickly. All in all, best of luck for everyone who is applying soon! Always feel free to reach out with any questions down below or via DM.
