IELTS is required for the primary applicant. For the secondary applicant (let's say your fiancee for example), you can just have him request for a Certificate of English as Medium of Instruction from his university to meet the english competency requirement if he does not want to get IELTS for whatever reason. The secondary applicant only needs to pass IELTS if you plan to apply for partner skill points. (This is explained in the DIAC site and booklet 6)

To get 10 points for 175 visa, you need to get a 7.0 for all exams...20 points if you get an 8.0 or above for all exams naman..
Good luck!

@harlan ako naman sobrang haba ata ng task 1 ko, pero di ko alam sa task 2 kung nameet ko yong 250 words. hays! kinabahan tuloy ako.
@Methylester sa Ryd po ako nagtake ng exam. dalawa lang po kaming pinoy na nagtake dito. Magkaiba pa kami ng module since General ako sa kanya is Acad. Sa akin naman ay sinabi ko lang yong mga tips at mga naalala ko sa exam. Pasado o Bagsak wapakels haha! basta may ma-ishare lang din ako sa mga magte-take pa lang lalo na sa mga first time tulad ko. Good luck sa atin!
Sa mga katatapos lang magtake mas maganda siguro na ishare nyo agad yong mga tanong dito kung gusto nyo lang naman lalo na pag fresh pa sa alaala nyo. hehe! parang katulad sa ielts-blog at ielts-simon

"tapos kalurkey yong isang taga dito na nagtake, nakikipag-away sa invigilato"
Minsan naiisip ko baka makipag-away ako sa invigilator kung hindi ko matapos ang writing sa dami na ng nagagastos ko sa IELTS hahaha...mabuti na lang natapos ko kundi baka isa ako sa pinakalma.
