@lottysatty sayang nga kaya lang nakabook na sya for IELTS sa 29.. ang hirap na pala ng invitation ngaun.. very stiff ang competition. Good luck sa lahat Pasasaan bat makakarating din kayo dito sa Land Down Under

lottysatty

@ram071312 Yes po. Right now, ang 65 pointers na nainvite is up to Jan 24, 2017 pa lang. Baka 2018 na ang mga 60 pointers. I even retook PTE para magincrease ang points ko para mainvite na. Based on the trend now, I think mga October 20 or Nov 1 pa ako mainvite. April ako ngEOI. Tama po, dun din tayo tutungo. Antay2 lang. hehehe. God bless po

@Christian_Dave bukas na bukas pa brad. Paevaluate na sa EA at lodge na agad ng EOI. FYI minimum points ngayon is 65 for 2335 kaya icompute mo na ang points mo at explore all options to increase it. Fighting! >-

Christian_Dave

Ah okay..salamat po.. Actually hindi pa ako nkapagtake nang ielts pero saan pwede magcheck initial points mo para ma check ko saang area pwede magincrease

Hi! We submitted eoi for 233512 eoi date is aug 23, 2017 with 65 points. Can anyone help predict when will we be invited?

Hi guys!

I would like to please seek for any advice regarding my case.

Just a background, I have lodged my Expression of Interest (EOI) in Skill Select last 05 May 2017.
This is for my Skilled - Independent (subclass 189) (Permanent Resident) application to Australia.

I was able to meet the points test pass mark at 65 total points.

Age: 30 points
English Language Ability: 10 points
Education: 15 Points
Work Experience: 10 points
Total: 65 points

Unfortunately, I don’t think this is enough for me to be invited to apply for a visa given the highly competitive domain for our field.
As most of us know, Australia’s Department of Immigration and Border Protection already tagged our occupation for pro-rata arrangements due to increasing levels of demand.

Please see my scores both in IELTS and PTE that only qualified me for Proficient English (10 points).

Test: IELTS General Training (Thru British Council)
Date: November 3, 2016
Listening: 8.0
Reading: 8.5
Writing: 7.0
Speaking: 9.0

Test: PTE Academic
Date: September 11, 2017
Listening: 75
Reading: 87
Writing: 83
Speaking: 90

Given the tough competition, I believe the only way for me to secure the invite to apply for visa is to increase my over-all points.
As all other parameters in the eligibility points are more or less fixed in my case for the time period (e.g. age, education, work experience, etc.), I can only enhance my score by improving my level of English proficiency from Proficient to Superior and gain 20 maximum points.

When I realized that the scores being invited to apply for a visa are already ranging from 70 to 75 points, I took the PTE Academic exam to boost my over-all score as I just read in an online forum that it is supposedly easier to get higher scores in PTE against IELTS.

As you can see from my detailed scores above, I almost reached the superior mark except for a single module in both tests (for IELTS at 7.0 for Writing and for PTE at 75 for Listening).
Given the demands of my work, I had almost none to barely minimum preparation and review for both tests.
I remember that I wasn’t able to finish my writing test for IELTS due to miscalculations in time management.
As for PTE, I’m actually more comfortable with traditional pen and paper-based exam vs computer-based exam.
I was actually bit distracted with the arrangement and set-up of PTE exam.

With all the aforementioned details,
1) Would you recommend that I consider taking IELTS or PTE for my next attempt to get superior score?
2) Will there be a significant difference if I take my IELTS exam under IDP vs British Council? What do you recommend?
3) Or should I just wait and see (and save resources) if I will be invited in the next few months with total score of 65 trusting that the latest estimate / projection from Iscah as of 9 September 2017 will materialize such that I will be invited in 1-2 months’ time.

I know there are risks and implications involved in all options so I really need your help to guide me in this decision making process.

Thank you guys!!!

@engineerSC189 I would suggest PTE, unang-una mas madali sya kaysa IELTS when it comes to subjective scoring (writing/ speaking) with your recent IELTS & PTE scores, tingin ko kaya mo mahit yung Superior....

Pwede mo rin iconsider state nomination.... by the way, I'm waiting for 189 ITA tonight....
Goodluck sa endeavor whatever your decision is....

Grifter

@engineerSC189 suggest to retake pte, don't be too frustrated if u failed the first time. Madami po tayo inspiring members dito na hindi nag give up, retake lang until maka superior. Please see our pte thread. Goodluck

Grifter

Mga kapatid na 65 pointer, pa update naman po later ng eoi date nyo kung mainvite kayo. Salamat po

lottysatty

@engineerSC189 Hi po..Halos magkapareho ta ng EOI lodge date. Sa tingin ko malapit na ang May 5 65 pointers na mainvite. Probably Oct 18 or Nov 1. Probably if you will retake PTE (which is more recommended compared to IELTS), you will book it within 2 to 4 weeks time which is around Oct 18 and there is also a higher possibility to get invited on that round. I am seeing tonight's ITA might include March (first week). There are risks involved in every decision. If I am to decide, you can wait for your ITA to come.

@lottysatty may nabasa ako na thread na naka superior ka na! congrats. ienjoy mo na ang invite mo mamaya. goodluck sa lahat mga ka-2335.

levimervin

@lottysatty - nganha bya ko Cebu Sep. 14-18, 2017, para sa medical exam. Kung naa kay bata, 3 days diay na ang TB skin test result, obserbahan pa after 3days. Nya ang TB skin test dili sa Nationwide, adto pa mo sa Chong Hua Medical Arts kang Dra. Obra.

Nagtoo jud ko nga adto na tanan sa Nationwide. haha!

lottysatty

@akoaypinoy mga first week sa october din kami pagkatapos makuha ni hubby ang nbi at pamedical. Pero yong japanese clearance ni hubby, it will take 2 months so possibleng maCO contact muna kami nito. Okay lang yon. Hindi naman talaga rush ang AU move. Tama ka. Ang importante ay secured na ang invitation.

lottysatty

@levimervin hala mao ba. 2 jud ni ako anak 5 ug 10 yrs old. Hasol diay no? Okay ra inyo medical?

levimervin

@lottysatty ok ra man so far, wala may text gikan sa Nationwide, ila ra man kuno itext kung naay concerns sa result. Gahapon kay ang x-ray result naman lang kulang namo nya ako gipangutana ang mga result ok naman ang blood chem, urine, physical, TB skin test result sko bata nga 5 yrs kay negative. Maayo nlng gani ako 1 yr old kay wlay TB skin test.

Hasol oi kay na extend tawon amo stay sa Cebu, imbes naa nami round trip ticket sa fast craft, kay unta ato ra saturday amo balik,
maayo nlang gani naa koy igsoon sa liloan, medyo layo2 pud jud. Nakaleave gud mi ahat sko misis kagahapon.

Medjo dili maayo ang information sa website nila sa Nationwide. Ingon sila nga come 15mins before sa scheduled appointments, nya pag abot ngadto kay first come first serve basis naman nuon, ang pinakasayo bya ako gipili nga oras, nuon gipaapas naman lang mi pagkabalo nila nga nagpabook mi online, nakauna nuon mi sa uban. Nya ingon sa website nga provide passport photos, dili ra diay kinahanglan kay ngadto ra picturan. Naa pa jud provide 3 copies sa passport photos, usa ra diay kuhaon. Haha! Daghana kaayo nko gipaphotocopies.

Haskang galawgawa sko BP, ako pa jud gipangandaman for 3 week

lottysatty

@levimervin Hala salamat kaayo sa information kay magpasked na ko karong Saturday ba..Maayo rajud kbalo nami daan what to expect. Hala, hypertensive ko den naa koy gimaintain haha..Pero i think okay ra man cguro na ang medical as long as walay hiv..If in case naay TB kay magwait ra man ug treatment den f ongoing pa kay murag moreport didto sa AU pohon..Ako plan is to take the medical before visa lodging basta makagenerate nalang HAP ID, pwd naman.

levimervin
