I hear you! Needing a higher English score for your EOI points can be stressful. While all three tests (OET, PTE, IELTS) are accepted for Australian immigration, let's explore some options to target that Superior level:
OET: Since you've already tried the OET, if you were close to all A's, it might be worth refocusing your preparation. Consider enrolling in a course specifically designed to boost OET scores. These courses can provide targeted strategies and practice materials to help you achieve top marks in each section.
PTE: If you're open to a new test format, the PTE might be a good option. It's computer-based and emphasizes a more conversational style of English. There are plenty of online resources and practice tests available for the PTE, so you can self-study and see how you fare.
IELTS: The IELTS is another widely accepted test and offers both Academic and General Training versions. The Academic version is typically required for immigration purposes. Many test prep centers and online resources cater to IELTS preparation, so you'll find plenty of support materials.
Here's a quick comparison to help you decide:

Additional Tips:
Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all answer. By considering your learning style and the specific requirements of each test, you can choose the best option to achieve that Superior English score and boost your EOI points!
