    I guess it's understandable that one should speak and understand English properly to be able to work here. It is just so unrealistic, in Task 1 in writing they would want you to become a good statistician. Whereas, in Task 2, they would want you to become an English professor major in technical writing! I hope they could abolish that 7.0 score in all tests and focus more on the average. Hahaha! wishful thinking.

    Hi, for settlement visa they have minimum requirement right? What if you just get the minimum score? Won't you be able to work there? Or work as professionals only?

    You'll still be able to work, but in a different job!

    You will still be able to work. But some work needs higher English qualifications, like being a nurse/doctor (I'm not sure about IT and other fields though). They require at least 7.0 grade in all categories in IELTS.

    ... but I never realised - until reading this thread of yours - just how high certain Professional Bodies set their standards in testing overseas students' English Language skills.

    Now, I realise this may seem like small consolation to someone in your situation. But I want you to know how very impressed I am with the command of the 'written' word you've consistently displayed in your postings here on the forum ... and hope and this awareness of your obvious talents will instill sufficient self confidence to boost your morale ahead of tomorrow's Examination.

    YOU can DO IT you know you can ... ALL THE BEST to you!

    Good luck! I think one advise I can give you is to take notice of how you use the British spellings and American spellings, i.e. "s" instead of "z" and other stuffs like that (I'm just guessing though). When I did my IELTS, I also got 6.5 in writing. I'm guessing because I've written it American way. Hahaha.. But I wasn't bothered that time coz I only did the General Training as a requirement for the fiancee visa.
