atlime Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 After looking at what seems to be all the options I'm now wondering if I should take ielts test in the hope I can reach overall 7 for the extra 25 points At the moment I am 5 points short for 175 visa so would need to go for 176 but as I don't have skills assessed yet I won't have time before July changes So.. What if I go for ielts? Would an English UK passport holder reach 7? If I do I can then apply for 175 and failing that I will need overall 8 to get enough points after July I'm 38, married, 1 infant, painter and decorator (last 4 years with 13 years previous) just applying for aqf111cert, gets me 110 points I think so ielts 7 proficient english would give me extra 10? Whats everyone think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugarvalentine Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I would go for a IELTS. For a fortnight of training for the exam (pay attention to the writing module - just browse the net for this) and 150+ quids you might gain a lot of comfort for you and your family. It's really do-able and easier than the Academic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mummy Mann Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Get booking test asap. As many of the test centres are booked up well in advance. I did the IELTS in feb. If you practice with the papers you should do fine. It's mainly the reading and writing that catches alot of people out. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
