filipinacpa · February 2014

@thegreatiam15 my overall score is 7.5. I need to claim points for language proficiency din. You need to get at least 7 in EACH band to be able to get 10 points, 8 in each band for 20 points. In my case, 0 ang ma-claim ko since yung reading ko is below 7. 60 points land din need ko sa EOI eh.

Yung ielts lang talaga.. Hehe

Yung 8, si-net ko yan for myself para di ko na need magapply ng state sponsorship. pag 7 lang kasi tinarget ko, 55 points lang ako without ss. At least pag 8 makuha ko sa ielts, 65 points ako without ss. 23 y.o lang po kasi ako kaya nakulangan ng 5 points. Ayy! Sana wag naman abutin ng pag 25 ko. Hehe

I don't want to spoil your V-Day but if you're claiming for points in language proficiency in IELTS, then i'm afraid your scores does not apply. Their minimum requirement to be able to claim points on that item, you must get at least 7 in listening, at least 7 in reading, at least 7 in writing and at least 7 in speaking. Pero if your EOI points is already 60 even without IELTS (I mean for compliance purposes lang yung pagtake mo ng IELTS), then you can proceed na to EOI

As of now, 45 points lang ako. But if maka 8 ako in each band this time, magiging 65 points. Otherwise, it will remain as 45 points..

@filipinacpa

@filipinacpa Thank you. Yung nag pa assess sa ACS would you know guys if academic or general ang IELTS?
From the ACS website:
- What is the English language or IELTS test requirement for the skill assessment?
The ACS does not have an English language or IELTS test requirement for skills assessment.
So it means @Al5yd, you can take either Acad or General. Your choice.

Thank you!! @appledeuce and @filipinacpa
di lang pala ako nagbabasa hahaha.

for those who have taken the IELTS, do you still remember the questions regarding sa written part? kailangan ko ata practice yung writing ko.

Writing task 2 from the academic module taken last Dec 22, 2013 went something like this:

Science tells us that some activities are good for health and others are bad. Despite knowing this, millions of people still continue doing unhealthy activities. Why do you think this is so and what can be done about it?

filipinacpa · February 2014

Good job getting 60 points without IELTS! Para hindi ka ka mag worry, you may check the Perth website if there are state-specific English proficiency requirements for your occupation. Kung wala, no need to retake!

I think no need. He's good to go. He already got 60 points so he can proceed with his 189 visa application. He can choose wherever state he wants na. Just my two cents. But @thegreatiam15 may confirm this as well

appledeuce · February 2014

^ oh I thought kasi his 60 points include SS from Canberra, based from his previous posts. That's amazing then!

Hi to all members here. I just want to ask if there is some instances that the score you saw in the internet become different when you claim it in the testing center like IDP. Di kasi ako makapaniwala na I got good score in speaking. Pinakamahinang subject ko talaga is English. Mahina ako sa speaking and writing but I am practicing to improve. Below are scores that I got when I search on IDP, tomorrow I will get the Test Report Form:

Listening = 7.5
Reading = 8.0
Writing & Speaking = 5.5

I expect that I will got only 4.0 on speaking dahil disaster ang nangyari sa interview ko.

By the way I am planning to migrate to Canada, I join this site for IELTS tips and sharing. I took General test and I need at least 4.0 to migrate.

In my case pareho naman ang results when in checked online sa nasa actual Test Report Form. That's highly unlikely na magkaiba so let me congratulate you for getting the scores that you need

imeetr · February 2014

@thegreatiam15 good to hear that you don’t need the band 7 in all four sub-tests. Buti ka pa, ako I need to get OBS 7.5 without a score lower than 7 in each band, thus I need to get at least 29.5 to 30 total raw score. Mahirap ang pathway ko, 3 components kasi ang occupation and professional assessment ko, 1st stage pa lang na cleared ko occupation and education assessment, then I need to take qualifying exam pa. Inisip ko nga kasi, to date may 60 points na ako, I want to try sana mag lodge ng EOI kaya lang baka mag ka conflict with Australian Pharmacy Council.

The ACS does not have an English language or IELTS test requirement for skills assessment.
So it means @Al5yd, you can take either Acad or General. Your choice.

I think for migration e General Training ata required.

Actually, it doesn't matter for migration purposes. The DIBP (or DIAC) does not specify either which type of IELTS migration applicants should take. In general, GT is fine unless specified by their skills assessing authority.

I have checked the DIBP sites and found this:

https://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/booklets/1119.pdf

Go to Page 20 then yung last paragraph about evidence to support your application:

Unless you are required to do otherwise (Academic IELTS) by your assessing authority you only need to take general test.

So ang understanding ko e General Exam talaga ang dapat kunin like for IT like me. I can't choose Academic if I want to kasi yung accessing authority ko which is ACS e walang requirement to take either of the 2 exams.
