Need help in Experience calculation between ACS assessment date and EOI submission date

Hi All,

Need help in Experience calculation between ACS assessment date and EOI submission date.

I have queries on counting work experience based on ACS assessment date and EOI submission date.

I hold bachelor of engineering in E&TC and having 9.2 years of experience in IT industry and planning to apply as Software Programer. As per the ACS and from various forums, I understand 4yrs of exp will be deducted. I applied ACS in -September 2016 and get certified for 4yrs

If I submit EOI today 30 December , What exp will be counted to claim points, will it be 4yrs (5 points) or 5yrs (10 points) by December 2017?
