What score do you need to ensure you get maximum points for English language proficiency in your Skilled Worker application. I have a pretty tight case ( I had 67 points as per my own assessment)!

Thanks for your answers....

You need an overall band score ranging from 7-9 (I think).

is there a benchmark for maximum marks ... i am sure there should be one mark such as an overall band of 8 for them to award the maximum number of points...

any ideas ?

That´s what I meant...to be able to get the maximum English Language Proficiency points (16), you have to get an overall band score of 7, 8 or 9 in the IELTS test.

The overall bandwidth doesn´t play any role in your english points. individuals does. You have to score 7.0 or above in each section to get 4 x 4 = 16 pts. If you score 9 in listening, writing and spoken but score 6 in reading, you´ll loose 2 pts even though your overall bandwidth is 8!
