Mxmanus Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Why don't you practice and go for 8 in all four of ILETS and get 20 points. Then your good to go m8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth 666 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Do you have a recognised qualification? (NVQ etc) as that might get you 10 points. If you get 5 points for WA SS then that takes you to 60 which is enough for SS. Also SS isn't ranked so as soon as you tick all the boxes you get an invitation as long as you have the minimum 60 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth 666 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Also 7 in writing should be achievable with a bit of practice I'd imagine or possibly even a lesson or two? I don't think I'm in any way too intelligent (highest qualification in English is a GCSE grade C) but I managed an 8.5. The biggest things to remember are to hit the minimum word count, try to punctuate as best you can and the longer piece is worth a larger percentage of your mark than the shorter (generally a letter) piece. Also try to ensure you cover everything you're asked to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowlingAFC Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 Mxmanus. calm down m8 gbuss, thanks for your reply. when you say tick all the boxes, what do you mean? how would SS go about happening? complete the next stage of vettassess skills assesment , then they would contact myself?? thanks again for any help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth 666 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Hi I think they've changed the process slightly with SS since I did mine. I think you now have to apply to the state first then they invite you and then you complete your EOI. I may have this wrong in some way but its definitely changed in some way. What I mean by ticking all the boxes is get your skills assessment done and then fill out your EOI. Once you can say you have passed IELTS (if you need to) and all the other factors add up for your points then you should receive your invitation to apply. Be wary though that you need to be certain that you have all the evidence to support all your claims for points. If you're unsure maybe you need to go down the profession route and consult an agent?

CowlingAFC Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 thanks. do you mind me asking what you do? and how much points you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth 666 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 If you're asking me, I'm a printer and I had 75 points at the time of invitation. I was looking at it being a bit touch and go as I was approaching my 40th birthday so I stood to lose 10 points. I got the 20 points from IELTS that would get me to 60 if I passed my 40th before invite and I took an Aussie AQF qualification as part of my skills assessment that unexpectedly gave me another 5 points.

CowlingAFC Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 nice one cheers. My SVQ level 3 doesnt get me extra points do you know? at a random guess does getting accepted by vettassess at either employment check or practical test help in any way?? cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowlingAFC Posted September 2, 2013 Author Share Posted September 2, 2013 This is copied off the immi website, is this anything to do with SVQ level 3 awarded in the UK? Doctorate from an Australian educational institution or other Doctorate of a recognised standard 20 points At least a Bachelor degree, including a Bachelor degree with Honours or Masters, from an Australian educational institution or other degree of a recognised standard Educational qualifications, 15 points at time of invitation. Diploma completed in Australia, trade qualification completed in Australia, or qualification or award of recognised standard 10 points and if SS gives you 5points....do you need 60 BEFORE EOI? or 55, with the 5 for SS added on? Cant get my head around this now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gareth 666 Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 I'm not sure if your SVQ gets the 10 points, there are criteria you need to meet ie length of time since qualification issued. You'd need to query this with someone more experienced than me. You can apply with 55 points on your EOI and when your SS is approved the 5 points are added. Your EOI will remain dormant until such time you hit the required points/criteria for invitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikkiwd Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 Cowling you will get the points for 'an award of a recognised standard' as your skills assessment was them recognising your qualification. Once you have your skills assessment and IELTS(if needed) then you go to the skillsellect website and fill in an EOI, if you tick the 190 visa box and WA as your state, the website calculates your points and it will tell you, If it says your claims equal 60 or more then go ahead and press the lodge button, it will tell you if you havent got enough points. Once you lodge the EOI you have to wait for them to look at it then offer you state sponsorship, this usually is quick and only takes a couple of weeks to get the visa invite. You can actually lodge an EOI to see what it involves then withdraw it if you arent quite ready to proceed yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
