Hi friends
I am a nurse by profeession ,I applied for cno registration last march,that time i obtained an ielts score of writing6.5,reading 8,listening8,speaking 8.5.but now they changed their rule that from January2013 onwards we have to obtain an ielts score of writing7 ,speaking7,reading 6.5,and listening 7.5.currently I dont have writing 7.I have only 6.5 for that.but underneath the above rule change one sentence is written.I will mention it in brackets (These are the minimum benchmark scores that must be achieved and includes the standard error of measurement of 0.5.) What is the meaning of the sentence sir?is it means if I dont have writing 7 and only have 6.5 that standard error of 0.5 will be accepted or I need to write another ielts test.I asked many people who are in nursing field but no one gave me a satisfactory answer,but I hope u can answer me.
Thanks in advance
