craigash12 Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Hi there, My partner has just received his IELTS results. He have scored 7.0 and 7.5 on every category apart from the writing where he scored 6.5. He received an overall score 7.0. Is this enough for a pass or will he need a resit? Thanks in advance Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Northam Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 Hi Craigash - All depends on the visa and skills assessor requirements - DIBP requires a minimum of 6 for each of the 4 bands if using IELTS, however some skills assessors and state sponsorship authorities have created higher minimum scores for particular occupations. In most cases for skilled visas, the overall score is not relevant - only the minimum score across the 4 bands is. Suggest he checks the skills assessor requirements and state sponsorship requirements carefully for his occupation, and also whether he needs the extra 10 points (IELTS minimum 7 on each of 4 bands or equivalent) or 20 points (minimum 8 on each of 4 bands or equivalent) for his visa if it's a points tested skills visa. Hope this helps - Best, Mark Northam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
