Hi Speedo, I am in EXACTLY the same situation as you. I currently have 55 points and have had my skills assessed successfully by AITSL. I failed to get four 8's in my IELTS even after four attemts which was extrememly frustrating. On Aug 25th I too will have three years teaching experience and intend to re-start the process immediately after this date. I am with the migration agency Go Matilda. I have been happy with what they have done so far. I do not mind spending the extra money as I would not trust myself with the paperwork. What is your plan?

I am in exactly the same position. I have 55 points and need the four 8's from the IELTS to bring me to 65 to apply for a 189. I have taken the tests twice now, the last time achieving exactly what your husband got. I am going to keep re-sitting until I get what I need. I believe I got to where I needed to be in terms of preparation for the L, S & W however I obviously need some help for the reading! It is really demoralising and frustrating not getting what you need, however, hopefully it is worth the time & money in the long-run. I am organising to re-take for a third time in February. Hopefully it will be third time lucky!!
