Marketing in Business seems hopeless right T_T

nope, no bond. According to my agent & everyone else even on a 190 (state sponsored), youre free to live wherever you like

190 you dont need to spend anytime in the sponsored state. it's just a state sponsored for that 5 points extra. I think I applied with about 70 points, so the state sponsored EOI took it to probably 75.

LOL mahal la to keep tarpauing food. Buy & cook- much, much cheaper. Saved more this way

But i suppose it's not a big thing. Since you can fly in n out easily nowadays.

Hey guys, how come my migration agent told me that I must score a minimum Band 7 in all components of the IELTS test when the DIBP website states that an average score of Band 7 qualifies for 10 points? Anyone of you have come across this unusual criteria?

I think your case is that your points collection require you to score all Band 7, in order to get that 10 points you mentioned, for your total points to be enough for EOI, which is at least 60 points.

Oh...I've always assumed that even if I didn't do that well in Speaking and Writing Test, the other two components will at least bump up my average score to Band 7. Well, hopefully I didn't do too badly in my Speaking test a while ago!

I like to believe that, the requirement for all Band 7 means for all four test components, your scores have to hit 7.0 or above, and it's not by looking at the average score. Getting four 7.0 barulah you get that 10 points.

Correct me if I'm wrong, and when can you get your results?

In order to qualify for the 10points, you would need to score a band of 7 for each component, not average of 7.
In order to qualify for 20 points, you would need to score a band of 8 and above for each component.

I guess the migration agent knows the requirements better than me. Maybe I misunderstood the Language Requirement section in the website heh... Did your agent tell you that you must score min Band 7 for all components to qualify for 10 points?

I'm going to sit for the other 3 components this Saturday, so I should get my result around 26th December.

Yeap.

You must see at least empat ekor 7.0 on your test report form, if you need that 10 points.

At least this empat ekor is easier to strike than the other type! Fingers crossed, everything will go according to the plan.

The other type??

Toto, Magnum, 1+3D?

Your lowest score is the final for points.

But for wife overall score is enough to prove English competency(secondary applicant)

Apart from ielts now there's PTE which is easier I heard and results is sooner.

WA and their contracts. And NSW also I heard are a difficult lot. Thank god SA is so lax

Didnt even have to submit any accounts statement etc (unlike ACT)

Eh? means in a component if the lowest is 7, then thats what it is?

I got lazy during the reading and knew I was gonna muck it up, so I got a 7. Every other component ranged from 8-8.5 (earlier tests, so more alert)

Yea i know right...
WA need show AUD 30k account statement also...
So struggle!

That means you can claim only 10points not 20
