IELTS Visa Requirements

[Guest sjbudd]

Hi

 

I am applying for a 175 - Skilled, Independant visa and am currently having my skills assessed by the Australian Computing Society.

 

I am currently 10 points short for this Visa, however I have recently sat the IELTS test(s) and have achieved the following scores: -

 

Listening 8.5

Reading 6.5

Writing 9.0

Speaking 9.0

 

Overall 8.5

 

Have I done enough to guarantee the extra points required?

 

 

Many Thanks

Hi,

I think you just miss out on the extra points, I quite sure you need 7 in each of the 4 units so your reading has let you down, get a little practice in and take the test again, getting the 175 visa will be worth a little bit more time and effort.

Hi, double check but I think you just need an overall mark over 7, only the overall mark counts.

[Guest BAZnDAF]

Yep, you need to raise the reading score to 7 at least.

 

hope this helps

Thank you for all the responses.

 

I kind of thought that that was the case, serves me right for rushing/ skimming parts of the reading element. Was running out of time...

 

Hopefully better luck next time.

 

 

Cheers
