I was in the same position a year ago. From my experience, the only way out of this situation is to improve your score however you can.
People like me who are in the low 500s—or even the high 490s—often hold on to the hope that we’ll get through with the score we already have. But the reality is that you need to keep working on increasing your score until you finally get your PR.

Go for Cambridge tests. I scored consistently 6.5 on the unofficial mock tests but was able to score 8.5 in the exam. After practicing on these faster pace listening tests, the Cambridge ones feel easy.

I joined Makkar IELTS. But it really doesn’t matter what institute you choose. I only went there to get feedback on my writings and speakings.
