Sasidhar Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Hi, I have recently given IELTS academic, and got 7 band in all sections. As Engineers Australia accepts both IELTS academic & general tests to perform assessment, I am using the csore to get assessed for SOL occupation Electronic Engineer. Can someone please let me know if the score I got in IELTS academic can be used to claim 10 points towards immigration besides using it for assessment.

MaggieMay24 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Yes, you can use the same test as long as it meets both the skills assessors and DIBP's requirements. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Gregan Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 There's no issue here. One test will suffice for both. Although you may wish to do another test to up your score further if you think you have a good chance of getting 8s second time around.

Sasidhar Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) Thanks a lot for both of you for clearing the doubt. Something like this is mentioned in DIBP's website - "Unless asked by assessing authority to take Academic test, it is advised to take General test for immigration". Because Engineers Australia doesn't specifically ask for Academic version, is there a chance that DIBP ask for General test score.

Richard Gregan Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 No problem here. DIBP only ask for General, and EA only ask for General, so you don't need to worry about the Academic IELTS test. Regards, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
