55 points ko + 5 points from NSW = 60 points
If your partner already has 55 points (w/o the 5 points from NSW) mag total din sya ng 60 which qualifies your partner to launch an EOI and be considered for nomination by NSW state sponsorship under VISA 190. Dapat lang at least 6 minimum yung all bands ng IELTS nya, otherwise hindi pwede.

For IELTS writing and speaking modules, they are evaluated by a human. In contrast with PTE-A, everything is assessed by a computer. So I guess in the speaking part, it is very important to have a good accent!
Feeling ko nga bagsak ung speaking ko pero I was surprised when I got it perfectly! I took the exam early in the morning and got the result later that day!
