[noel_cabitac]

I just wanna know the passing score to be able to migrate to CANADA... I have taken the IELTS exam which I got a good marks.. But unfortunately the Agency that handles my application told me that I have failed.. Actually I got a band of 6.5, 6, 6, and 5.5 respectively . The agency told me that it should be either get two 6.5's and the other a minimum of two 5's. Am I failed with my band score? Anybody here pls answer me...

Thanking you very much..

it all boils down to how many pts you need from the language to get your entire score to 67 pts. but i think 4 is minimum on all module. Your consultant probably computed that you have to get atleast 2 pts on each module giving you 8 pts.
Here is the average range for each of the module (e.i. Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing)

Average Ranges (See the IMM0008 Instruction Guide for the details)
4pts High = 6.5-9.0
2pts Moderate = 5.5-6.0
1pt Basic = 3.5-5.0

You probably need around 12 pts from language criteria which your agency told you. (8 pts from 2 6.50 and 4pts from 2 5.0s). You can retake it but be sure to prepare for the next one. Good luck!
