Just want to hear your adv on my plans to migrate to AU. I am now 39 yrs old and by Mar 2015, I'll be 40 already. I've already passed the ACS requirement with Bachelors Degree equivalent and 12 yrs working experiene. I've also recently taken the IELTS last Oct but unfortunately, I ony got L=7.0 S=7.0 R=7.5 & W=6.5. I did file for remarking but with negative results. I inquired from IDP and the next available IELTS exam is on Dec 13. Do you think it's still possible for me to get invited given the limited period. If I pass the IELTs exam, the results would be available the soonest on Dec27. Is there enough time to get invited to apply up to 1st week of march 2015? I need to get a band/min score of 7.0 to get 65 points. If i do not get invited, my chances of getting the 60 score is very limited as I am not confident I will get a band score of 8.
Target Score: 65
Age 33-39: 25
IELTS 7: 10
Work Exp: 15
Education: 15
i just want to know if it's still worth to take a gamble on the IELTS exam. I do not also have enough time to study and review to be able to target a score of 8.
Also, I would like to get your inputs if my chosen field 263111 is in demand in Melbourne. Or if the job market for such skills is already saturated. thanks in adv. I am planning to book the exam tomorrow.
