milo 52 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I sat my IELTS test last month which I got a overall Band score of 6.5. One visa company said I need a overall Band score of 8. But when I spoke to another visa company they said I need a level 7 in each four parts. So when I wrote back so I need a overall band score of 7, they said no you need 7 in each.. My question is: Do all visa companies go by you Overall Band score for your IELTS test results or does some like you to get same level in each part?? Because I was told they add all four scores together e.g.: 7 + 7 + 7 + 7 = 28 then div by 4 = Overall band score of 7 Hope this makes sense, This is confusing me!! Just want a straight answers!!! Thanks Milo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Milo You need to attain at least the required score (7 for proficient or 8 for superior) in EACH band. The overall score has no relevance for immigration purposes. So for example 7+7+6+8 gives an overall score of 7 but this will not be adequate to gain points for a visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyliedonut Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 You will need a 7 in each part of the IELTS test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raul Senise Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 First of all it will depend on the context, as different IELTS scores are required for different purposes. Do you need IELTS for: · Points for a skilled visa; · To meet the requirements for a skills assessment; · To meet the threshold requirements for a visa; · If it’s for threshold requirements, different visas have different requirements. In most instances it is the score in each band which is important, although in some cases (subclass 457 visa for example), it is the overall score. Secondly, the English requirements have got nothing to do with the visa company you use, as the requirements are determined by the Migration Regulations and/or the Assessing Authority, depending on the purpose.

roman Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 For 189 visa U need 6 in each category Sent from Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raul Senise Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 For 189 visa U need 6 in each category Sent from Tapatalk You need 6 in each of the four testing criteria as the threshold English requirement for a subclass 189. This, however, will not give you any points for English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need IELTS for points for my Skilled visa, then after that I have to sit my vetassess (plumbing Test) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
