Is 60 points for 189 visa enough, or the more the merrier?

[usherer]

For my skills assessment as a teacher, I've already done the Academic IELTS, and am getting 10 points from that. In total, I have 60 points.

 

If I do the General training, there is a high chance I can bump this up to 70 points.

 

1. I need my Academic IELTS for my skills assessment - would doing the General 'cancel out' my Academic results? I read that authorities only refer to the latest IELTS- but I'm thinking of doing one General, one Academic.

 

2. Do invitations consider only the cut-off point, or are high-pointers (LOL) given priority?

 

warm wishes and good luck to everyone~

Generally the more points you score, the better off you are, and yes, you can complete an IELTS General (easier) test in order to claim points for your English skills. There is no problem with that at all.

You are correct, most recent IELTS only

 

Highest points get chosen first.

Thanks, everyone! Will try to claim more points!

@SVG: That is incorrect. I rang up IDP and they said it doesn't cancel out the results. SOMV says the same. @Beaty: Early childhood teaching
