IELTS Score

[sherlypk]

Hi ,

My IELTS overall score is 6.5 I got more than 6 in all areas except in Reading.

In Reading I got 5.5 ('')

Can I claim points for Competenet i.e 20 or Do I have to reappear in IELTS.


Regards,

Sherly

Note the spelling of "competent".

I guess they are interested in your overall score, and since you're above 6, you should be fine.

Anyone correct me if I'm wrong... it's been a while since I did my application for migration to Australia.

There have been recent major changes regarding the proof of English. By right, you need the required score in EACH of the four bands unless you are only trying to prove 'functional' in which case they look at the overall score. Because the changes are so recent, the case workers seem to be more picky now.

You can probably submit and your case worker will ask you to re-sit it later on when they ask for your medicals. But strictly speaking, she would have the right to fail you for not providing sufficient proof of English, although that is highly unlikely.
