IELTS GENERAL MODULE

There are 4 sections: writing, listening, speaking and reading.

If you score 9-7 in any section, you get 4 points in that section with a total of 16 (4x4). if you score less than 7 (5-6.9) in any section, you get 2 points in that section.
REGARDLESS OF THE OVERALL SCORE OF THE EXAM.

Example 1

You score 7 writing, 7 reading, 7 listening, 6.5 speaking overall score 7

Your points : 4 + 4 + 4 + 2 =14

Example 2

You score 7 writing, 7 reading, 6 listening, 6.5 speaking overall score 6.5

Your points: 4 + 4 + 2 + 2 = 12



If you do not take the IELTS, the immigration officer immediately grant you a total point of 12..REGARDLESS HOW STRONG ARE THE PROOFS YOU PROVIDE. EVIDENCE OF LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY IS ALWAYS LESS THAN IELTS.

Therefore, it is highly recommended that you take IELTS to get the score you like and not to leave it at the immigration officer discretion.
